  • The lawmakers say the new plan is an overreach of authority and will cost taxpayers.

  • Borrowers can now apply for the SAVE plan before bills become due next month.

    The lawmakers say the new plan is an overreach of authority and will cost taxpayers.

    And yet they look the other way when their GOP buddies Abbott and DeSantis overreach and trigger lawsuits that are defended with taxpayer funds.

      Oh this has nothing to do with taxpayer funds, they’d spend the money on tax cuts for themselves, if they could. This is about denying Biden from getting another win.

    This is a brilliant way to win the next generation! I swear, the GOP is being directed by Month Python’s Flying Circus. It’s like the ministry of silly walks.

      They’re probably not shooting for the next generation, they know that’s lost. They’re shooting for the ones after, when they’ve stripped the education system dry and can more easily exploit the naivety while their own kids take over. It’s generational planning.

    They can force a vote in the House but they can’t make it law without quite a few Democrats so this isn’t actually happening.
