This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

Oh, so they’ve figured out how much my monthly payments are under whatever is now the SAVE plan? Or just screw me and everyone else who made life decisions based on PSLF. Our incomes are Monopoly money to the Trump regime ogres.
This has been a meme since at least 2021 when Biden first started to try new means of loan forgiveness while the GOP complained hypocritically as their own PPP loans got forgiven. The hypocrisy is nothing new, sadly.
@georgetakei.bsky.social the UK Labour Government has just banned its trans community from loos and restrooms. Please send them some support 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Those 10 got $14.86M in loan forgiveness, with an average student loan debt of about $40K that money could have wiped the debts of about 370 people. And that's just 10 of 100's of fraudulent loans that were just handwaved away.
You cannot get rid of the bad thing that someone is going through because other people have gone through that bad thing. People hate each other and want them to suffer, as they have suffered. Republican ideology of hate. #Impeachtrump
This, because so many Americans WITHOUT this problem thought it was UNFAIR that others should get help they couldn't. The fine American tradition of minding the absolute hell out of other people's business
Say this. Because I remember quite a lot of Americans upset about even the thought of loans being forgiven. Just because they had to pay off their loans or had paid thousands in. The fact that we as Americans are so unwilling to help each other is a big reason of why we are where we are.
They also completely ignore how predatory student loan companies were. Sallie Mae for instance.
Then there's being told your entire high school life you NEED to get a college degree or you won't get a job followed by "You'll get a job right out of college"
Sallie Mae essentially functions as a terrorist organization. Using fear to manipulate students into predatory loans, then invading every facet of their life, and sometimes their loved ones lives, to keep students paying past their estimated life expectancy.
I don't think they even do student loans anymore but have no clue. They transferred mine to Navient who transferred them to Mohela. Or maybe that was Wells Fargo who were/are also predatory dicks.
Gen X got especially screwed. Millennials and their parents had no excuse for not seeing the writing on the wall about how pressure to buy into a predatory student loan biz, rising tuition, + a shaky trickle- down economy had screwed Gen X.
No us Millenials damn well do. We were told every single year non-stop in high school to go to college no matter what or we were screwed. That's all I heard for four fucking years.
They also said "There all these scholarships and grants you can apply for! If those don't work you can~
When I graduated high school, we hit a recession. By the time I finished college, we were in another one. And getting a job in your field is not as easy as it seems. Many don’t get hired right out of college. I know of too many who have Masters and have been working at Walmart since they graduated.
I work in Assisted Living now. Went to school for Graphic Design.
On the bright side the experience in any Healthcarejob basically means you'll always have SOMETHING. We had one day where our boss ticked us off and she actually had to try to work the floor. Learned real fast they need us.
Post COVID managment pretty quickly started listening to us and understanding what we want.
Except for this one bitch who STILL thinks she's better than us. Lady YOU go clean the explosive diarrahea and get back to us about how we "shouldn't sit around"
I got an English degree, ended up in healthcare, recently, as well. Thank goodness for them listening and the fact that we’ll likely always be needed at some level. I’m sorry you have to deal with that one lady; I swear, there’s always, at least, one. 😑
On the upside my co-workers who are from a different culture have essentially told her to fuck off.
She's young, blonde, and walks around in high heels despite being a "nurse". My co-workers are middle age, from Africa, mothers, and having NONE of her shit.
Eff all of them. I got a tiny PPP loan during covid, a whopping $2500, enough to pay the rent on the space I was leasing while I had to close. My parents lost their minds when it was forgiven. $2500 forgiven. Out of how many millions, and I am actually a small business, single person operation.
The right aren't the only people who voted against student debt relief.
That said - and yes I know I'm gonna get dragged for this - everyone who signed an 1845-0007 (Master Promissory Note) entered a legal contract for their loan. Feel free to honor your obligations or try for the Brunner Test
This also includes the payment plans and PSLF that the current administration is doing their damndest to destroy. The way I see it the current shithead president has no problem paying bills, so why should anyone else?
Always the case, everything has to be for them, and anyone else is a scrounger, a parasite, a thief, but themselves, they pat each other on the backs for screwing taxpayers over...
They always talk about entitlements for the slaves that make them rich by voting for who’s forced on us we need to demand representation for our taxation! They get their budget is about 1billion with all the hand outs health travel and bribes and inside info on stocks and ppp loans! WTF!!!!
How many of these parasites just made a bundle last week insider trading and let’s talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene for her PPP loans that she received doing Covid and never paid those back
The education disparity all makes sense now. I paid for my kids' honours in conservation biology undergraduate degree, and it cost me $60k all in, but, the highest regarded faculty of conservation biology is in my 🇨🇦 hometown, so we were lucky not to pay for housing. That rate is as of 2024, too.
Student loans, imagine,
much as was reflected
in the last election, is
also reflected within the
student loans (?) you
know college was free
at one time, until jobs
required degrees as
an entry to jobs which
had required a high
school diploma, they
didn’t want to hire the
“Others”. So the others
started attending college
which (of course) started
charging tuition, which
brings US to, today and
student loans, along with
interest & late charges.
Note: I’m not speaking of
the top universities but
the colleges (local)
Hating “others” can be
very expensive. 🧐
Honestly, we should all get money back every time one of these dipshits open their stupid mouths (I was going to say especially MTG, but really most of these names are pretty bad).
The average student debt is something like $33k and these trogs have the nerve to demand it back while they didn’t have to pay back anything on loans that were in the six and seven digits? Ridiculous.

This is encourages students to be successful in college & life.
An educated America is a strong America
Then there's being told your entire high school life you NEED to get a college degree or you won't get a job followed by "You'll get a job right out of college"
Then they collapse the housing market
Like just fuck right off with all of this.
If I knew what I know now Would've gone to a trade school or something.
They essentially brainwashed us for years into it. Basically "Do this or you're screwed for life."
They also said "There all these scholarships and grants you can apply for! If those don't work you can~
Now I was the class of 07. Yeah you can imagine how well that went.
Again in high school you are NOT learning economics or about Gen X. You're still just a dumb kid.
