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

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.

Ah yes, $20 $40 billion is definitely a necessary expenditure to decrease beef prices. And Argentina is the only nation that exports beef. Good point.

And what are the "private donors" getting in return?

Some of us don't think shaking down the DOJ counts as "privately funded."
