Speaking of the camel's nose under the tent...

🚨 Remember:
If we let them get away with what they did with student loans, there is no stopping them.
Student loans are the camel's nose under the tent.

I don't rail against the @GOP.
I'd like to see them avoid annihilation in November.
But I can tell u fight for the $ changers. U want banks to steal the $110 Billion in interest from the taxpayers and keep the failed loan scam going.
That dog won't hunt.

This is a LIE.
This is the banks trying to STEAL $110 B in interest every year from the taxpayers.
....WITH THE TAXPAYERS STILL INSURING THE LOANS!!
They'll still be predatory loans. Maybe MORE predatory.
This is ridiculous.

This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles.
In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive.
Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time.
This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on.
There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.

Very few people in your state know this. They won't until/unless you tell them!

They have no excuse not to.
Unless keeping this loan scam going is worth losing EVERYTHING for.

Happy Pride Month, @EDUnderSecKent
As a gay man yourself, I hope you will fight to restore bankruptcy rights for all Americans with student debt.

The Dept of Education feels it can strong-arm the borrowers into choosing between two horrible options Because we HAVE NO POWER.
A fool's dilemma. A sucker's choice.
Think about that.
If we had bankruptcy leverage on our side, they wouldn't dare attempt such coercion.

Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.

Wake up, folks.
Look at the big numbers.
By all rational metrics, the federal student loan program has FAILED.
It is not a viable lending program.

Things you could do in the United State for a trillion dollars (instead of have it accumulate to one person):
1. End homelessness
2. End poverty
3. Healthcare for every child
4. Universal free college
5. Universal clean, cheap energy
6. Cure cancer

🇺🇸 On the 250th anniversary of the U.S., our surveys over the past year find most people are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. and think the country’s best days are behind us.
What do you think? 🤔

Trade school students are being wrecked by the loans worse than everyone else.
Learn about it.
Bankruptcy rights- as they exist for all other loans, all other borrowers- must be returned to these poisonous loans to make them fair.

I can tell you don't know a lot about student loans.
You've sucked in all the propaganda programming.
Read this. I'll be surprised about the truth of this loan scam.
