    You know what will speed up a recession? Having millions of Americans pay back their student loans while consumer confidence is already low. That money doesn’t go back into the economy. It goes to the government.

    Odd timing.

    They don't care, if it keeps the middle class (and lower) distracted, thats all they want to happen.

    I bet they're going to go for the lucky ones who got their loans forgiven.

    Funny enough, because the people who voted for Trump are the biggest fucking idiots (fact, not opinion), they don't have any student loans so this doesn't effect them because they are stupid fucking idiots.

    It's been a few million years since I had student loans (at one point I owed SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!), but isn't it the case that the feds merely guarantee the loans, while the money for the loans comes from banks and the profit on the loans also goes to banks?
