Trump's first full education budget: Deep cuts to public school programs in pursuit of school choice

1. Democrats need to make a lot of noise about Public Service Loan Forgiveness

Some of us signed up for much lower payments based on this program that would forgive the loans of those who work in the public sector after ten years and in the private sector after twenty.

The lower payments allow the debt to balloon, which mine had previously done when I had trouble making payments because I had to pay for my own health care out of pocket for a decade and didn't make enough teach college at first to make a payment that was more than my rent.

If you have student loans, have kids who have student loans, or know someone who went to college and wasn't already wealthy, you should call your congressman and senators and tell them ending this program is a really bad idea.

Since this article attributes the policy to Betsy DeVos, call the Department of Education too.
