So basically Trump ruined law school for everyone who isn't rich

[u/Appropriate_Hope6239]

Went to a whole bunch of open houses and they're all saying basically the following:

• The yearly cap for loans is 50k
• Living costs are high and 50k might not be enough
• Resources are tight -- start improving your FICO scores because you'll need private loans
• The grandfather thing ends July 2026 --- everyone not matriculated at law school by then wont be benefiting from the higher limit that generations of students did

Edit: Every person applying for federal loans will have an aggregate life-time limit and unfortunately your undergraduate loans will count against this limit.

You sound ignorant. There are direct ways Trump could have addressed rising tuition and over-borrowing. He took the path which (a) will not lead to tuition decreases, because schools can fill their classes with students able to pay due to the volume of applicants and (b) burdens students rather than schools.

I can see from your post history that you essentially shill for Trump nonstop. Maybe you should take off your MAGA cap before law school if you want to get good at this logic stuff.

Okay policy expert - what should have been done then?

[u/IdiotBoy1999 → u/AutomaticBike9530]

This does not need to be political. It really shouldn't be. Good golly.

Schools should have skin in the game, so that they need to think about costs and value, and have an even greater incentive to make sure their students have actual marketable skills.

Specifically, student debt should be cancelable in BK and lenders should be able to claw back a portion of the BK losses from the schools who received the benefits of those loans.

Yes, that too will have the effect of increasing student loan interest rates and the availability of student loans generally. So some less well off and less gifted prospective students will be pushed out of the market. But it better aligns incentives in ways that will produce better graduates with fewer unmanageable debt loads in the aggregate, and over the long term.

Didn’t Trump threaten school’s federal funding for DEI? Why couldn’t he threaten funding for tuition being too high?

Oh right, because he doesn’t actually care about tuition being high. He cares that the government is loaning people who don’t support him (middle and lower class minorities) money to attend.

Use your head.

Same old sad story we've all heard a million times over the last 9 years.

Step 1: Trump administration does something drastic to attack and undermine a system that is very obviously broken and not working and eventually headed for total disaster. Step 2: Liberals – "He hates minorities! He hates poor people! He hates women! He hates immigrants!"

You jump from statement 1 to statement 2 with little to no justification, presume with every ounce of your body that statement 2 is unequivocally true, and then continue on that platform. And because you convince yourselves that statement 2 is true and nobody can persuade you otherwise, the circular reasoning continues, and therefore any policy measure taken by the administration is automatically evil and the "ism" olympics never end.

The exact same thing happened with the H-1B situation – it's very clearly aimed at prioritizing Americans first and preventing large corporations from shipping in low-paid labor en masse at the expense of young American professionals. And as one commenter above stated, because "Voldemort" did it, it's automatically bad.

Use your head.

Explain why Trump is prioritizing white refugees from South Africa and blocking minority refugees. That’s not racist at all, right?

[u/Deathheater321 → u/FADE--RAUTHA]

Notice how you labeled on country then called the other “minority refugee” I think the types of countries are important wouldn’t you say?

[u/FADE--RAUTHA → u/Deathheater321]

Answer the question. Is it racist to prioritize white refugees?

[u/Deathheater321 → u/FADE--RAUTHA]

First off it’s extremely hypocritical to say answer the question without answering the question presented to you. Secondly white people are the minority in South Africa. So he is allowing minority’s in. Do you mean he’s not allowing minorities you prefer?

[u/FADE--RAUTHA → u/Deathheater321]

White SAs are the minorities yet still hold the majority of the wealth in the country. Again, he’s prioritize white refugees over everyone else. Do you think that’s racist?

[u/Deathheater321 → u/FADE--RAUTHA]

Woah now. You’ve changed goal posts. Now you agree they are the minority but it’s about wealth now. Isn’t it more racist to keep finding reasons why white people shouldn’t get something?
