The Spin

Trump's new student loan rules represent an illegal attack on democracy that punishes dedicated public servants for political reasons. Teachers, nurses, veterans and first responders shouldn't lose debt forgiveness based on a lock of loyalty to right-wing agendas. This unlawful politicization of public service programs crosses the line from democracy into dictatorship territory.

The loan forgiveness program needed urgent reform to stop taxpayers from subsidizing illegal activities and radical organizations. Trump's changes ensure benefits go to legitimate public servants like including teachers and first responders, not groups harboring illegal immigrants or performing prohibited procedures on children. This rule is common sense.
