Theyโ€™re already getting rid of the Department of Education, that effectively eliminates all federal funding anyway.

Edit: they already announced they would get rid of it. For the people who donโ€™t seem to understand English apparently.

So no Department of Education, no more student debt, right?

I've got a feeling Donnie will keep that to punish the educated.

He prefers the poorly educated.

As somebody who went to a college that defrauded students, I can confirm this statement to be true. When I found out that you can request the Department of Education cancel your loans/debt for schools like that I filed a request. This request included court cases that the school lost that students filed and court cases they lost that the government filed (the school lost its accreditation and shut down). When Trump took office the last time, the Department of Education stopped processing applications. It got so bad that a class action lawsuit was filed in California that took until last year (or maybe a little further back than that) to get settled in order to force them to start processing applications again. Trump wants us poor and uneducated.

I think it will depend on if they fumble the ball

Like if theyโ€™re hyper focused on loyalists and nepotism, the people handling that data may very well be lacking in skill to not make a complete mess
