.Rep. Summer Lee didn’t just speak truth — she LIVED it. As a first-gen, working-class Black woman, student loans made her future possible. The proposed GOP bill that guts student loan forgiveness would’ve slammed that door shut on her and millions more.

@RepSummerLee There is a better way to solve this problem. Let student loan debt be dischargeable in bankruptcy court like any other debt. Student loan debt is the ONLY debt that can never be discharged. Just have Congress vote on a bill and it could be done next week.

As a graduate with loans that I did pay off, it took over 15 years. The issue with student loans is the predatory repayment structure that is quite similar to credit card debt. You are forced in this interest payment structure whether you want to or not. You have to pay the loans sequentially while that interest is accruing on the latter loans and you can’t do a damn thing about it. This is where paying on an $80k loan for 15 years and still owe $80k because of interest charges. God forbid if you lose your job for 6 months to a year, you’ll never get on top.

@RepSummerLee Unfortunately that’s the idea

@RepSummerLee That education was wasted. She supports men competing against women in athletics; supports cutting the breast off of little girls; is apathetic regarding low black student achievement in this country and black on black crime. That makes her an educated dolt.

Woman has an insane meltdown because of her student loan debt that she says has a 17% interest rate that she didn’t know about. So her loan is now larger than it was at the start. She’s now begging for rich celebrities to pay her debt off for her. (lightweightlyssie on TT)

American has $197,000 in student loans The interest rate is 5.12%, which means she is accruing about $10,086 of interest every single year on her student loans That’s $840 a month just in interest just to break even without paying anything on the loan “It feels so crushing” Student loans in America are predatory. Americans cannot pay these back and they’ll be trapped in debt forever

Woman in Houston, Texas complains that her credit score just dropped 150 points and she now owes over $27,000 in student loans. She says she shouldn’t be held responsible since she was 18 when she admittedly took the loan. The excuses these freeloaders make are embarrassing.

🚨 PA STUDENT SHOCKED TO REALIZE HER STUDENT LOANS WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE PAID OFF An American physician assistant student called in about her loans… and froze. Her debt racks up $30 in interest EVERY DAY. That’s roughly $900 a month gone before a single dollar even touches the balance. She pays nearly $1,000 a month, and the loan barely moves. There’s no option to pay principal first. No pause. No finish line. She’s not behind on payments, and she’s not irresponsible. This is the system working exactly as designed. So is this student aid… or a financial life sentence?

Student loans are predatory and they are a scam This American took out student loans. Under her current payment plan, she’ll pay $69,087 over the next 10 years After 10 years her balance will have skyrocketed to $515,646, roughly 4x her original loan amount due to interest Luckily for her if she makes all these payments all that interest will be forgiven, this is because she’s on one of the older plans that are eligible for forgiveness Just imagine making $500 payments for 10 years, paying off your balance and then having your remaining balance still be 4x your original loan amount Just think about how insane this is

Woman who has $150k in student loan debt eats chicken wings as she says how she hasn’t paid her loans in over four years and won’t pay them until she feels like it. She says she got two degrees that she’s not even using. These are the people Democrats want us to bail out.

Today, Democrat Congresswoman Summer Lee Rep. Summer Lee shut the elevator door on Charles R Downs Loomer Unleashed after we asked her to apologize for her pro-October 7th comments she made with Hasan Piker hasanabi and Muslim Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed Dr. Abdul El-Sayed during their campaign event in Michigan. It’s pretty amazing that a member of Congress slammed an elevator door instead of disavowing her pro-Islamic terrorism talking points. It should be even more eye-opening that House Democrat leadership has refused to hold Rep. Lee accountable for any of her pro-Hamas rhetoric and behavior. Democrats This is yet another example proving how the House Democrats have been fully Islamified, which means the midterms come down to American values versus third world Islamic values. Remember this video in November!

American breaks down her student loan debt and shows how loan companies are hiding the real interest charged - She borrowed $46,280 - She now owes $101,406 - The loan website deceptively puts she’s only paying $18,889 in interest but that’s clearly a lie - If you click on the little (?) on the website it shows that they’re adding even more interest in the principal section How can a $46k student loan turn into $101,406… this is outright Usury and should be federally illegal “I am almost 40 years old. I could pay on that for the rest of my life and never pay it off. And that's the con. That's the goal. They never wanted people to pay off their student loans. They wanted a constant supply of passive income for the government.”

A lot has been made of taxes proposed by Democrats that never passed the General Assembly, including a bill to tax streaming services and more. Republicans, including President Trump, have attacked Governor Abigail Spanberger over that bill and others. Spanberger has pushed back, saying the bill (along with others) never passed the General Assembly and therefore never reached her desk. Yesterday, I asked Governor Abigail Spanberger if a bill to tax streaming services, dry cleaning, and more does make it to her desk as governor in the future, would she veto it or would she sign it into law?
