BRIANNA WU SLAMS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR
PROPOSAL TO END STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS
DEDHAM, Massachusetts — Candidate for U.S. Congress Brianna Wu condemned the 10% funding cuts for the Department of Education under President Trump’s proposed budget as another way to pay for the tax cuts for the wealthy.
“Yet again, Donald Trump is trying to put another burden on the backs of hard-working Americans,” said Wu. “First, he proposes over a trillion dollars in Medicare and Medicaid cuts. Now, he is trying to make it harder for Americans who pursue a higher education to do so without potentially going into bankruptcy. And it’s all to pay for his tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.”
The proposed Trump budget would cut $7.1 Billion from the 2019 allowance to the Department of Education. It would eliminate subsidized student debt, reduce the number if repayment plans for borrowers, and cancel the public service loan forgiveness program.
“Donald Trump is a president who clearly does not value education. The programs he wants to cut are lifelines for people who are trying to further their education and put themselves on a successful career path. Competition in the workplace is real, and an education is vital for success. America should be making it easier for people to get a college or trade education, not harder.”
Wu acknowledged that there have been bureaucratic issues with the public service loan forgiveness program but said cutting all together will only hurt the people who need it. “If there are problems with this program, the Department of Education should be looking into resolving those issues. This program is a critical component of college affordability for many Americans, and in my view, it still doesn’t go far enough.”
Wu added that when she is elected to Congress, one of her first priorities will be repealing the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy. “Investing in working Americans is what leads to a strong economy and a better future for all. We have seen that repeatedly throughout our history. Once the super-wealthy start paying their fair share in taxes, we can invest in working Americans again and do it without going into national debt. This nonsense of stealing from the middle class to give to the rich must stop.”

Looks an abuse of campaign funds from an unemployed manchild scammer from this angle.

Because real campaigns issue "press releases" on medium.com and not PR Newswire or some other media shitposting service.
