President-elect Trump could do away with his predecessor’s years-long efforts to erase student debt.

The big picture: Trump has repeatedly bashed the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plans but has not said how he would handle the mounting debt in another White House term.

    has not said how he would handle the mounting debt in another White House term.

    Yes he has. By dumping more debt on them. He’s already stated his plans to reinstate the debt and add retroactive interest. Tarriffs are going to make prices skyrocket, and then God knows what Elon Musk is going to come up with, but even he said it wasn’t going to be good.

    Our children will be paying for all of this for decades to come.

      Elon’s going to get a shot at balancing the government’s budget. And I’m sure his approach will be similar to the way he handled Tesla’s budget. You know, gotta make deep cuts and lay off as many people as possible, while granting himself a bonus large enough to cover those jobs for decades.

      When and where did he say that?
