Like many ED and FSA employees, Gittleman had criticism of the system. She said, “Society should not force people to the financial situation that cannot be defended in order to move forward.” The Grievance Secretary group was necessary because loan employees, and the same, had sinned in matters, and because institutions that aim to profit sometimes have misled their students. (ED recently settled a collective lawsuit claiming that the administration failed to submit debts to more than half a million students who were defrauded by their schools). In a better world, Jetman said, there will be “a free community college, affordable prices, or greater financing for public universities.” In the real world, ED was told last month of loan employees that FSA contracted to freeze requests for income-dependent payment plans, which reach the profits of living families and eventually promised forgiveness-which leads to obtaining the most expensive payment options. (Applications were reopened last week, in response to a lawsuit.)
On March 20, Trump signed an executive order The call to “close” Ed. (Elon Musk tweeted Mimi from Trump, caught in front of the name named “Education men.“Although the Federal Aid Aid is the size of one of the largest banks in the country,” although the Feder Aid Aid is nearly 200,000 employees in its office from the Federal Student Libraries, “but although Wales Vargo has more than 200,000 employees, the arrangement specifically eats FSA functions. DodgeThis can almost come as courtesy. Getmamp did not see this in this way. She told me: “We have a lot of operational requirements and the experience of the topic that the traditional bank does not make.”
The next day, Trump announced that FSA will be transferred to the small business administration, which runs about four hundred and sixty billion dollars, mostly loans. (The transfer of FSA and the closure of Ed will require Congress; at the same time, SBA, who was run by MCMAHON during the first Trump administration, believes in two halves. “What they are trying to do is building a new market for Wall Street,” said Mike Peres, of the BESE protection center for students.
FSA reported the memories of the story of the student Debti. My parents did not have much experience in the upper system, or a lot of money. They knew the names of unified tests and luxury schools, and pushed me towards them. Don’t worry about the cost, as they said. We have filled us FAFSA. I removed the federal students ’loans. My parents took out the parents plus Loans, at a high interest rate. Then my younger brother went to the college. once again: FAFSAStudent loans, father plus Loans. After the college, I postponed the payment while living abroad and then went to the law college – paid again with borrowed funds, this time from private banks. Fruit. At some point, I united my student loans, which exceeded two hundred thousand dollars. It took ten years, and a generous public service payment plan, to provide balance.
The cost of assembly on debt can be greater than the amount due. Debt universities purchase debts in large quantities, compared to a cent on the dollar, knowing that they will lose a certain percentage of the total. ED use a logic similar to identifying loans that are not simply worthy of follow -up. During the epidemic, the Trump administration stopped all payment payments, and the Biden administration issued reforms to tolerate the public service loan and extensive income repayment options. More than five million borrowers have been forgiven. A lawsuit against Republican lawyers to stop some of these reforms, and won. The 2025 Heritage Foundation project recommended abandoning the payment paid in income and forgiveness, and the incubation of special lending: SBA model. In a separate paper, the education expert in the plan blamed “huge and unnecessary educational benefits” for a decrease in the fertility rate in America.
The student lock system is not limited to the right. The city’s movement, which originated from the occupation of Wall Street for the free public college. It is better to spend in the foreground, covered tuition fees, from loans that are not often paid. But defenders of consumers who criticized, and even a lawsuit against them, to violate the rights of borrowers, are now lawsuits to save the agency. In one of these cases, Tami Sabins, 43 -year -old Kentukian with more than fifty -five thousand dollars of distinguished educational debts (weakness of its manager), attests to “anxiety” and “panic attacks” caused by her inability to apply for re -income.
In another case, the university president explained the successive effects of the “current discounts on employees in FSA”. FAFSA Or the student’s loan service was affected by a reduction in strength. but FAFSA A gate was clearly shiny. As a result, students did not know the grants and loans they qualified for for “even the past notification of their acceptance” for colleges. Poor students were losing opportunities, and schools had to back down from their final dates.
Here is what Jetman said in its announcement before a federal court:
“I will do something at home, and a case will appear in my head,” Gretlman told me last week. “I had dozens of borrowers who were trying to get income -dependent payment programs. I was working in one case for two years.” She was proud of the help of a public library secretary who had to declare bankruptcy “becoming debt -free.” I have received a family Christmas card from a borrower with a delusional disease. It is not clear what will happen to complaints that exceed three hundred plus on which Gettman was working on. She told me: “I did not get my transmission.” “My email was already closed before the shooting.” ♦
