language included in the 2024 Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act that could pave the way toward banning student loan cancellation.
The current draft of the routine bill [bars] executive branch officials from cancelling or forgiving student loans taken out to pursue flight training or education at the undergraduate level, the Debt Collective warned on Wednesday.
It’s like republicans are actively trying to lose in November.
Edit: Also for the folks who didn’t read the bill. Ted Cruz ® is a cosponsor. Cruz HATES student debt relief. The other sponsors have all supported variations of student debt relief. Just say’n. If were wondering who snuck this into a boring routine bill, I’d start with that guy.

Um, did you stop reading at the second sentence?
The Debt Collective named Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) as particularly responsible for the language.
I don’t have any love for the GOP, but this particular bit of “fuck you” is from neoliberal Democrats. They need replacing. Not with Republicans, but with better Democrats.
Nah, it’s just that the machine has long since learned that they get more votes by attacking “the enemy” than by proposing anything constructive at all. The entire crux of their existence now is about being contrarian and “hurting the people who need it”.
It’s a bit like clickbait. Everyone fucking hates it but it’s not going away because it works.

Yea I’m calling Cantwell today, this is bullshit. She’s usually pretty solidly on the right side of things but this is ass backwards.
Procorporate trash. All of them
Ted Cruz is a cosponsor, and the only cosponsor that actively campaigns against student debt relief.
It can only go so far before people wake up and start voting properly or heads start rolling, right?
