Jeffries isn't in charge of anything. No one is motivated in the fight against the minority leader. They cannot articulate anything bad he's done other than existing. He's a token figurehead without power that no one has ever heard of.

According to Dave Ramsey you're an IDIOT if you don't pay for college in CASH. If you can't pay for a college education out of your own pocket, you should go to trade school and uh...well, that costs money too. So you should just work your way up, or something.

Also, PSLF is a myth and a TRAP and unethical so don't even think about qualifying, just do whatever it takes - work 80 hours a week eating beans and rice - until you've paid it off in ten years. God bless.

Dave Ramsey is a stupid old boomer who refuses to believe that anything ever changed because then that might mean he has to put in an ounce of work and that he's wrong and he can't possibly be wrong because he's Dave Ramsey.

Seriously, the number of times he's given flat out awful, wrong advice about student loans is amazing. He should be sued and/or taken to the guillotine.

Reading up on the lawsuit it seems pretty frivolous and the US department of education is in their right to change the plan.

So hopefully we get a non chud judge but thats not likely.

Keep in mind that that district is the one that lost the new Space Command HQ over, what the Pentagon outright said, was regressive chud legislation in the state. It's still a huge loss, but don't overplay the margin.

According to fundraisers, it does.

I think their real issue is not the lack of a boogeyman. It's that Trump is siphoning off every penny any small donor sends to pay for his lifestyle and personal legal bills.

I've heard the that saying in the past. I hosed up and had to call one of my in field technicians to ask him to drive out somewhere to fix my error. He was a nice older guy, so when I profusely apologized, he said "Don't worry, if someone is perfect, all they have to look forward to is a cross" or something to that effect. He basically meant it as "It's okay, I forgive you."

What I'm saying is: if you're going to bring Jesus into it like this, it should be about forgiving someone else for their fuckups, not trying to excuse your own.

He's completely against any form of student loan forgiveness. His whole grift is to make it seem like repayment plans or PSLF is impossible to qualify for, so you pay him to take his financial advice which is basically pay off all your debt in ten years and never take out a loan or use a credit card.

His followers will tell you that even if you qualify for PSLF it's still wrong to do because it's unethical lol

Even just recently he farted out advice arguing that an 8% draw on retirement savings is perfectly fine, because the market grows at 10% and you can easily beat that with a little effort, bingo bango you never run out of money on an 8% draw. An absolutely dipshit take for anyone, particularly a self-anointed finance expert, but nobody in finance seems willing to just tell him he's a brainwormed boomer with no real expertise.

I love how they always use this poo poo to equate everybody as being "imperfect", like there aren't degrees of imperfection. I probably drink too much and I cuss a lot. OK, I'm not perfect. This motherfucker beat his pregnant wife. I'm not Christian and I'm far closer to Christ than this loving monster.
