CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY!

Picture
​Everyone-

Today we are blitzing the Senate, and telling them to cosponsor S.2598.

College was affordable in YOUR day, but talk to your kids and grandchildren, and asl yourself why Americans aren't able to be doctors or lawyers or engineers any longer. (Who will operate on you if you have cancer, stroke, heart attack, or serious accident, hello?)

I was told Senator Hawley has cosponsored this S. 2598. We need repayment plans that are no more than 25% of income.

12/17/2021 03:38:55 pm

Correct-- He is a cosponsor. Currently, IBR (Income based repayment) plans limit your wage garnishment to something like 10 or 15% of discretionary income -- that is, income above an arbitrary poverty line threshold -- and I'm on it and pay 10% of zero which is ZERO. However, Cathy, as Alan often tells us, so I shall repeat: ONLY with the threat of Bankruptcy defense back in borrowers' hands will we get fair treatment. The abysmal 98 or 99% fail/ reject rate of PSLF (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) proves my point! GORDON WAYNE WATTS IN FLORIDA

I called both CA senators and spoke with their staff. This is an important bill to pass so that there’s a possibility of reprieve from ever-growing student loan debt. It’s the only bill 💵 I pay monthly but it grows every year, even at 20% of my earnings!

If GOP Republican Senators, ask them to join Republican Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and John Cornyn (R-TX), and if Democrat, tell them to defend helpless students. In either case, tell them that the US CONSTITUTION'S UNIFORMITY CLAUSE requires bankruptcy to be uniform, and this bill S.2598 helps repair this flaw. Also, tell them that all other options are politically difficult or imp, and that since all other loans have bankruptcy, it's only fair students do too. Also, without bankruptcy to make the Dept of Ed reluctant to lend insane amounts, both taxpayers and students. If all else fails, have them contact Alan Collinge at STUDENT LOAN JUSTICE dot org , or myself , Gordon Wayne Watts in Florida.

The "Taxpayers" have made a FORTUNE on this predatory loan scam. From people like this. You should apologize to them and stop fighting for the colleges, the Department of Education, and the most dangerous loan scam this country has ever seen. Look at Texas:

In case you missed it, Matthew, students have more-than fully repaid taxpayers and this even at illegally-inflated price-gouging levels of tuition. Unlike Liberal Free Handout PPP loan recipients. Also, if you claim to be Conservative, I don't believe you for a second, because you are not blaming those who TRULY have power to STOP these Liberal pork subsidy spending for student loan originations: Lawmakers, including GOP lawmakers, who held House, Senate, and Oval Office TWICE in recent decades and yet didn't act. Since we HAVE A SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS AND NURSES, you can't expect LESS people to go to college, unless you wanna die of lack of medical care when you get injured or ill. Do you? Stop being a lack of personal responsibility Liberal in your blame to innocent high school students who ate powerless to act. And your cowardly refusal to blame response parties-- lawmakers of both parties who are tax and spend Liberals, whom you defend, love, and protect in your silence here, bud. ⚠️⚠️ PROOF
