Republicans always crash the economy.
Do Americans not have eyes?
How do they not see this pattern?

MODERATORS
I think you’re looking at this the wrong way. They’re in a death cult. They want this. They want anyone who is opposed to them to suffer as much as possible even if it means destroying their country in the process. This is what “owning the libs” is about, and it’s all they have left because their pathetic ideology can only make things worse for the working class.
I don't think most of the cultists actually want it to crash. Sure, there's a subset of accellerationists, and for sure they want to teach their enemies a lesson, but I think for the most part, they think that everyone is lying, overreacting, or it's just temporary and things will be much better afterwards. The problem is, they can't ever get out of that modality because of the sunk cost. No matter how bad things get.
50 years of targeting rural propaganda
I think this will be a coercive leverage to “encourage” military conscription.
Massive student loans? Sign on the line for 10 years fighting to kill citizens of other countries like Panama and Canada, and your loans will be discharged!
Specific loans like student loans could also act as triggers to deny passports and other ways of escaping the country.
Oh for sure.
The administration has a hate-boner for millennials.
Look at RFK decrying SSRIs and stimulant meds. Wanting to send people to "detox farms" to harvest "organic lettuce" (unpaid) for "years".
Aren't like a quarter of millennials on SSRIs and/or stimulant meds?
And of course we are. The world sucks. Civilization is likely to crumble in our lifetimes. And we aren't good enough for your (boomer/old-X) approval...never have been. Ya damn right we are depressed and anxious. Not to mention overworked and our focus constantly challenged. Literally can't go through 5 seconds of any form of media without some sort of shiny object dangled in front of you.
I stopped paying mine. It was homelessness or student loans. Fuck em. If they can write off billions of small business loans, they can write off my student loans. Fuck that game.
Just remember the two pieces of shit that sued to stop student loan forgiveness. I think one of them had PPP loans forgiven.
remember to get paid under the table whenever you can, so they can't garnish your wages. you might take a pay hit, but it will be a smaller bite than your loans take.

These fossils still think that Millennials are kids. Bro, my kids are almost in high school, my back hurts, I feel this flesh prison decaying around me. I'm entering the part of my life where I'm traditionally supposed to be the most economically advantaged, and this bullshit is going to basically nuke my generation's ability to participate in the economy, because we were all told that we need to go to college to have a good life.
i was in high school when my parents were my age and i think that this generation's purpose has become a sacrifice to the capitalist meat grinder; same as the generation during the depression.
At this point I pray for an afterlife so that I actually have a life I can enjoy

Last month, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration-era SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan replacement program with 8 million borrowers, claiming it lacked the authority to forgive millions of dollars in debt.
It's almost funny how when Biden was President he had no authority to do anything, however trump doesn't seem to have that issue as much. Almost funny.
Trump has support in all levels of government, and a great amount of it too. This didn’t happen just overnight in Jan of 2025. Biden had opposition who would hold him accountable for dictator stuff (as well as supporters who would hold him accountable depending on what he did) but Trump now has a larger support base to pull off his shit because control at the top is across his party.
That’s why Biden couldn’t do it but Trump can. It’s bullshit and we know it, but no one (including myself) is willing to revolt the way we should yet. We’re all worried about covering our own butts because the system we’ve grown up with is still mostly here so there is still hope that we can change it via our system. We may very well regret this later though.
