The department of education is now a debt collector.

Millions in default now face wage garnishment. And yet the parasitic congress reps who received pandemic loans we all remember those loans were forgiven.

Reading the news over coffee and once again the Republican fuck over the middle class.

paid for my degree. They covered everything except books. I was also able to study at work. That was back in the 90s and tuition was cheaper then too. I was very lucky.

from WWII. I was a professional student and it seemed like a good time to be in school and back then college was cheap compared to now. It took me 5 years to graduate and I had to borrow $600 in my last semester and paid it back in the next year.
