If the @gop wants to avoid annihilation in November, they'll get this done.
They have no excuse not to.
Unless keeping this loan scam going is worth losing EVERYTHING for.
The mid-terms, for the @GOP, hinge on this question.
@rnc@RNCResearch@Peoples_Pundit
Bankruptcy rights must be returned. The wealthiest colleges should be made to pay for discharges.
These 37 Million voters would reward the @GOP HUGELY for returning bankruptcy rights (as they exist for all other loans).
A clawback from the colleges would ensure zero losses the other way.
This is the ONE thing I can see the GOP doing before the mid-terms that could stop an absolute bloodbath. The question really comes down to this:
ps. @Peoples_Pundit, These people are going to go more strongly than I have ever seen for The Democrats because of what they saw the @GOP do with student loans with the OBBB.
HOWEVER: They HATE the Democrats because they are FAKE!
Huge opportunity, here.
Pay attention to this, @Peoples_Pundit
37 of the 42 million student loan borrowers are hopelessly underwater.
25% are republican
40% are independent
They VOTE, and they don't like answering polls about student loans. They won't show up in your data.
@tan12390 @EDUnderSecKent@GOP@HawleyMO@JohnCornyn Look at West Virginia, Nick.
Do I really have to say anything more?
God didn't put you in that office to grow this loan scam.
You know that's true.
@tan12390 @EDUnderSecKent Also agree. This is the colleges using their muscle to keep their prices sky-high, and ever-rising.
But Kent: you KNOW that bankruptcy rights have got to be returned to these loans. AND THE WEALTHIEST COLLEGES MUST PAY.
BEFORE THE MID-TERMS.
@GOP@HawleyMO@JohnCornyn
If the Congress of 1965 had known that their student loan program would be so corrupted that by 2026, people would be killing themselves, their families, leaving the country and even committing murder on account of these poisonous loans, they'd have thought twice about it.
President @RealDonaldTrump knows that student loans are a scam.
Full Well.
And he knows what he needs to do.
The @GOP knows it too. @RNCResearch@TeamCornyn@HawleyMO
37 million distressed voters know it, too. This will determine the mid-terms, one way or the other...
@JohnCornyn Senator: you need to make a move on this before the mid-terms.
20% of your base have student loans. 85% are underwater.
This is EXACTLY what you need to do.
@TexasMonthly
@StudentLoanJus1@EDSecMcMahon Borrowers expected stable, low-cost loans; instead they got volatile rules & compounding interest.
They expected clear paths to repayment instead they got legal uncertainty.
They expected government-backed safety nets; instead they got risk transferred almost entirely onto them.
