Oh this has nothing to do with taxpayer funds, they’d spend the money on tax cuts for themselves, if they could. This is about denying Biden from getting another win.
I don't see the whataboutism here. It's andalsoism, which we could engage in endlessly with the Republicans, who have become the party of taking things away from other people.
Because conservatives said so! Now, stop acting so uppity and get back to work at one of your minimum wage jobs before supply-side Jesus gets mad again!
This is a brilliant way to win the next generation! I swear, the GOP is
being directed by Month Python's Flying Circus. It's like the ministry of silly walks.
They're probably not shooting for the next generation, they know that's lost. They're shooting for the ones after, when they've stripped the education system dry and can more easily exploit the naivety while their own kids take over. It's generational planning.
I didn’t sign up yet, because I’m not set to recertify for like a while yet, and I’m trying to avoid paying for a degree doing me no good.
I’m currently on a $0 repayment, and have been for a long while, but I’ve been making a regular paycheck for the last year, and if I had needed to recertify since 2020 I’d have had to pay.
I don’t know if it would impact my repayment/certification to apply, but I won’t be employed soon anyway, so I’m putting it off as long as I can.
But I also don’t know that it’s ever going to be implemented anyway.. republicans seem really into screwing us poors. I’ll just wait.
I went ahead and switched to the SAVE plan. You can actually go through the application process and near the end of it, they'll provide you a list of plan options and how much you'll have to pay, if any. If you would have to start paying, you can quit the application and no changes will be made to your current plan / certification and at least you won't get "sticker shock" down the road and can start planning.
