We went to student loan forgiveness( which never happened for many) to a president who wants everyone to pay student loans at extreme values :dead:. One extreme to the other


student loan forgiveness just wasn't a priority for voters


that said folks can always earn money and pay off their loan like they were intended to

Yes it was, it was a major priority for the millennials and down that voted for biden. It was honestly why he received so much hype after him and bernie/Warren consulted with one another.

The problem is unlike republicans democrats govern based on all voters, republicans govern specifically based on their own constitutes

Or you're ignoring the most recent election where Kamala ran against Trump and lost?

Trump won and Kamala lost

It was a priority for me. But sticking it to the corporate dems and punishing Biden was also important to me. I’ll gladly pay this 300k in loans just to sleep at night knowing Biden was punished.

Did we forget the previous presidency that Kamala was the vp for that did below the minimum promised that they had for student loans?

Did you forget the fact biden played politics by giving the Supreme Court the opportunity to block student loan forgiveness instead of simply wiping them off the books ?

Biden came up with a Whole convoluted approach that he knew for at least 6 months would get blocked, he played politics and had cold feet withbwaiving student loans :dead:

Even the average low informational voter seen what he was doing

:snoop: not a surprise. And they're targeting immigration nonprofits.. but even still, I have no faith that Linda McMahon will process PSLF when people hit the 120 payments.

I got exactly 24 months left :snoop:
I hear you breh. I have 45 months left in mine. I’m just trying to keep my head down and get through it. I owe over 300k in loans, and can finally move to be closer to family once I get these loans forgiven.

I honestly didn't believe my loans would be ever forgiven even when i initially signed on, but a few years ago a colleague actually got his loans forgiven after the 120 payments. He was the first person i ever saw pslf work for :ohhh:
