The Trump administration seeks to end the popular Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, which allows government workers, Native American tribal employees and nonprofit workers to earn forgiveness of their student debt.

The White House's budget proposal for fiscal year 2021, which was released on Monday, would completely eliminate the program, which the administration estimated would save a little more than $1.9 billion over the course of the year.

Gots to try and look like we’re paying for them tax cuts. [and the wall, cough].
 
Yea. Also $182 Bn cuts to SNAP, $292 Bn from Medicaid, and $70 Bn from disability spending.

And Trump's base - old, rural folk with health issues - are the ones who will likely be most affected by many of these cuts. Sadly, though, if you told most of them about this they would likely simply refuse to believe you, and call it fake news. Dear Leader would surely never do something that mean and cruel to them. It's just all those folks who need hurting and suffering who will feel the pain. Really!

Many of whom also share various GoFundMe’s for medical bills on Facebook

I have a friend who works in the Congressional Research Office. She regularly questions from GOP staffers asking how they can keep rural hospitals from closing. She tells them it’s simple. Expand Medicaid. But they just don’t believe or understand it.
 
Yeah. She agrees with my theory that the evil geniuses of conservatism have mostly died out and we are left with the true believers who actually think tax cuts help everyone.
