'Shameful': Trump Threatens to Redirect Student Loan Borrowers to Most Expensive Repayment Plans

"I love the uneducated. I can do anything and theyll still vote for me"

Being dumb worked well for him. In modern times it's amazing I'm smarter than the president of the United States. It should not be

“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” • ⁠Prof. William T. Kelley, University of Pennsylvania

The people in power dont want anyone but the wealthy to go to college. Because people who go to college stop voting Republican. 

How many times has he been bankrupt?

Going to college doesn't mean you're educated or smart. https://youtu.be/7VP0B4coXwY?si=G5E42qPdTn64VL3u

If you were so smart, you would have found a job that compensated you well enough for your masterful skills that you could pay down the loan in a reasonable amount of time; or, wouldn’t have taken out the loan in the first place. 

For some reason a lot of maga people think that anyone that went to college studied socialist CRT Marxism gender art or something along those lines. They seem to forget that people do need to be educated to be nurses, teachers, doctors, engineers, programmers, architects, and on and on. I’d argue most people that are college educated have a degree that applies to their job skills and performance. I can’t help but think this attack on education is heavily influenced by Christian nationalism. We know desegregation was the start of a lot of complaining by a certain demographic, and then that same group latched on to the idea that “government schools” (their name for public schools) were the worse thing ever and taught students to hate religion. That gave them a way to rally for private schools that can control who they enroll without having to say the segregation part out loud. Now it’s gotten so out of control that they want schools that indoctrinate students into the maga worldview.

and childless. Takes financial security before real family planning happens

Serfs, they want us to be serfs to the rich.

People were mad that drag queens were reading books to kids and Latinos were teaching their kids to speak Spanish, so they decided to just destroy the future for that entire generation of children. Such pro life…

Well, yeah. He thrives off of cruelty and malice, he doesn't just want to rob you, he wants to rob you, and then pulverize you as well.

Add to the list of grievances on our updated Declaration of Independence for the 250th anniversary of this country.

He also votes by mail but doesn’t want others to do it.

Take a breath, slam a cup of coffee, and get back in it. Their strategy is to exhaust us. Don’t let the bastards win 👊🏼

Especially the college students that actually voted for him. I know not all of them. But between the guy that tried to forgive student loan debt and the guy who did absolutely nothing about it in his first term I dont get why you would pick the absolute worst choice. I know people who got a lot of their debt forgiven before the judicial branch put a brake to it. The current students are looking at worse job market and worse debt repayment system. I guess they'll all learn the lesson the hard way.

It’s a huge money launderer for criminals. 

And that is plenty for most of his voters, other negative consequences be damned

Funny thing is it's his voters that will probably suffer the most. Then blame Biden for it.

It's far more frowned upon if you don't complain.

Be a shame if someone hacked the system and erased the debts of all the student loans. *Cough* ^Iran

Afaik the federal student loans can't really be discharged through bankruptcy.

This orange f*** owes us gas money. We'll call it even with the student loans.

Respect! (No sarcasm). I've been paying my loans for 20 years but the balance barely changes. I often think I'm an idiot for paying. I don't care if I have bad credit, since I don't want to own a home, own a car, or have a family. I guess I just keep paying because I don't want them to try claim the full balance is due and then seize my bank account assets, but I don't even know if they even try to do that. Anyway TLDR - You rock for not paying, and I would probably be financially smarter to follow your example.

I'm at the point where im contemplating changing my withholding to stop paying taxes and he thinks student loans are a threat? lmao

The banking lobby probably paid him not to

Did you not read the part about months-long processing backlog for this very thing?

It’s 90 days after July first

Most people are happy to pay a reasonable amount on their student loans, as long as they can still cover the basics (food, water, shelter, and child care). The problem is that these basics have all exploded in cost over the past 50 years. The vast majority of those in the house and senate have no clue on life for anyone under 40 because very few have ever been middle class or below, and far too many are over the age 65 (many are in their 80s).

Under what mechanism?
