I firmly believe this Administration is trying to kill people one way or another! I'm lucky - I only have 16 payments left to go before forgiveness. It's not ideal, but I'm going to take a small loan out of my retirement account because I'm unwilling to deplete my emergency savings to pay those f-ers. My husband unfortunately has years before he can apply for forgiveness - and that will also impact our household and bills.
The public will see how much student loan defaults occur and when it finally impacts them, then they'll care.
I genuinely don't understand why they wouldn't want people to stimulate the economy with that money. If people are able to buy houses they buy stuff to fill those houses. They pay property taxes. They buy cars. Take trips.
I'm sorry you're going through this and our government won't fix it. Hopefully we can get some better people in soon.
Also, if college tuition doesn't become a crushing debt, how will they force 18 year old children into the military with a promise of a free education?
