    Wasn’t Trump: obama

              Yeah I’m doing PAYE. That’s why I said they would be. But if like that goes away under Trump, then I’m still wouldn’t be able to pay them off.

              I think in 25 years my student debt is forgive tho so there’s some “silver lining” lol

      Well, that takes understanding context, history, material conditions, class relations, some basic economics and philosophy.

      Or, you can listen to the guy on the radio and the blonde on TV, who say it’s the Mexican laborers, black thugs, Muslim terrorists, and Jewish bankers. Oh, and the gays. And liberal elite, college professors. And since everything in that list is easily categorizable as the one word “woke”, it’s clearly a simpler explanation.

    So, that’s literally everything now, right? Biden’s administration has now officially done nothing over the last 4 years, aside from ending the COVID State of Emergency?

    And of course propping up fascist regimes in Ukraine and Israel.

      Meaningful? Yes, nothing.

      Technically between now and when the interest easement started some people have had less interest to pay and lower payments. But presumably that will stop too.
