This decision is all about punishing student loan borrowers. Instead of lowering costs, Donald Trump wants to take money out of your grandma's Social Security check.

I really kind of wish the "grandma's social security check" wording would come to an end. There are adults and child survivors receiving social security and this nonstop framing is somewhat offensive. Enough already.

mjb2002.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Those survivors you mention in your post are usually on one of the other two types of Social Security: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or SSDI.

There are three types total.

fultertonaw.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Yes, indeed.

I am simply asking for Warren to stop using the wording, it's just uncalled for and she should be embarrassed she's using it all, it's a negative connotation for any adult and SS is not just for elderly "grandma's".

Simply put: Knock it off Senator.

Punish the educated. Weaken education. Make the country dumber (if possible). Then there is no way we figure out that poor people fleeing violence are not the one's responsible for inequality. It's the motherfuckers with all the money!

A year ago I was expecting student debt forgiveness after nearly 30 yrs of payment. Those hopes have been dashed. However I've decided to forgive myself. That's right. I'm not paying another dime. The days of being hobbled by this debt are over. Feels great

Quit posting campaign ledes. Start posting the actions and steps you are taking to impeach Trump. We are in a constitutional crisis and you are ignoring it. Listen to the people not to your consultants.

How about Congress make it more tax advantaged for families to SAVE for college when kids are young? Maybe even allow matching employer funds to invest and grow.

My questions are, what has Donald Trump done to lower the costs of groceries or housing, your costs of student debt (or addressed increasing costs of tuition), or reduce any costs whatsoever? He was elected promising to make life more affordable. How has he done that? Republicans agree to his harm.

Is there a reason why the interest on Student Loans cannot be dropped to near zero?

Nothing I have suggested has been enacted; and aside from nice speeches, none of you is treating this seriously

Let’s remember, this policy is being put in place by a woman who has only worked for 6 months in a job not given to her by her daddy or husband. Linda McMahon is a dunce, she should go back to translating French poorly and get out of the government.

Sometimes it appears that Trump divides the world into people on his side and against him. And with data showing educated people are significantly more likely to oppose him, is it a coincidence that he wants to harm student loan borrowers?

floofberrypharms.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Wait. Whenever I login- it says I’m in forbearance because of the SAVE battle and PSLF stuff. So am I gonna be in default even though it shows $0.00 due every month?

now-its-time.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Then they will pay 30% on thier loan or less. All depends on the collector. Not based on the government anymore. So fire away.

At this date (Easter Monday, April 21), student loan repayments that "... will begin collection next month, (counting on my fingers, no toes needed) "... are beginning in the middle of next week."

If they would just put a 1-2% cap on federal student loan interest rates and allow borrowers to have 0% interest while in school up to four years… student loans wouldn’t be as big of a problem for people.

Hey Donald, let's collect the federal income taxes that are ridiculously past due. Most of these are from the same top persons and corporations that you are trying to give big tax cuts for. If you owe past taxes or have paid no taxes in the previous year--You should get no special tax breaks!

This along with a dive in consumer sentiment, increasing inflation, a plunge in tourism to the USA, decreased demand for US higher education, decreased immigration from the south, and general economic uncertainty are going to lead to some very tough economic times.

Long-term damage is being done.
