7. Trump and his Republicans sued and then dismantled Biden's SAVE repayment plan.

Biden's SAVE plan was a godsend to many borrowers -- including myself. The MAGA-hijacked Supreme Court ruled against it and Trump's billionaire department head has made quick work to kick everyone off and into higher repayment plans immediately this year, even though they had until 2028 to do so.

Just another example of how different the two parties really are.

Fuck Republicans and fuck those handful on the left that thought they were somehow doing people like me a favor by protesting against Kamala/Biden because they didn't think their plans went far enough. You fucked us over just as much as Republicans did.
