The Trump administration's decision to restart student loan collections is a devastating blow to working families already struggling. With millions in default and programs being gutted, how can we stand by as the rich get tax cuts while everyday Americans suffer? Join the fight for fair education policies now. #StudentDebtCrisis #ProtectBorrowers
I was also a stupid teenager told that this was my only way to avoid flipping burgers for the rest of my life, so I signed up for student loans.
Then in 2010 Obama overhauled the system to cut out the shitty private industry side of things, but gave no relief to people like me already locked into that system. Made it real fun when Biden teased loan forgiveness and I found out I wouldn’t even be eligible.
But I’ve been paying my loans. I did AmeriCorps so I could afford to do so. I reckon I’ve paid more than the entire cost of my schooling by now, but that doesn’t matter because interest go brrrrrr.
The whole student loan system is unconscionable.
