With no regard for American taxpayers, Democrats churned out student loan forgiveness plans in an attempt to sway voters. Those irresponsible and shortsighted policies end today.

With the SAVE Plan ruled unlawful by federal courts, borrowers will need to transition to a new, lawful repayment plan. We've been notifying affected borrowers and explained to @CollegeInvestin how the upcoming deadline works, and why waiting could be a costly mistake.

The SAVE plan is officially dead. The Dept. of Education's Under Secretary told us 7 million borrowers have to leave it and 300,000 already have. If you're still in SAVE, your balance isn't shrinking and you're losing time toward forgiveness. thecollegeinvestor.com/82054…

Common sense prevailed. The Trump Administration’s reforms will stop taxpayer dollars from subsidizing organizations involved in illegal activities such as terrorism, human trafficking, and child mutilation procedures that are doing irreversible harm.
