But that kind of legislation could be met with pushback from the president-elect. During the campaign, Trump said he would make Obama's program even more generous by capping monthly payments at 12.5% and cutting the repayment period down to 15 years.
And this is exactly why I didn't bother to provide a link.
Bob finally admits he didn't provide links cause they show he's an idiot.
Hondo admits he is fucking moron and didn't understand what he linked to. Go ahead Kunt, show me where there was existing legislation already passed and enacted for the Federal Government to take over the student loan business that Obama just "sped up." And I did provide a link you pathological lying piece of shit.

Another link that doesn't back up your fucking mouth. That legislation didn't Federalize the student loan program. Would you like to try again dumbfuck?
In 2010, President Obama effectively nationalized student lending by cutting banks — which had been offering government-backed loans to students — out of the equation and having the government make the loans itself.
"By cutting out the middleman, we'll save the American taxpayers $68 billion in the coming years," Obama said when he signed this change into law. "That's real money."
As a result, federal student loan debt shot up from $154.9 billion in 2009 to $1.1 trillion by the end of 2017.
About 10% of the $1.5 trillion federal student-loan portfolio is 30 days or more past due. Another 20% is in deferment or forbearance, and about 30% is in income-based repayment plans that allow most borrowers to cap monthly payments at 10% of discretionary income and discharge the remaining balance after 20 years or 10 for folks in “public service.”
Congress created these nifty plans in 2012 for new borrowers, but then the Obama Administration expanded them retroactively to reduce defaults, buy off millennial voters and disguise the cost of its student-loan takeover. This may be the biggest accounting fraud in history.
*** Democrats in the 1990s created a public student-loan option to compete with subsidized private lenders. Then in 2010 they nationalized the market to help pay for Obama Care. The Congressional Budget Office at the time forecast that eliminating private lenders would save taxpayers $58 billion over 10 years. This estimate was pure fantasy, and now we’re seeing how much.
The government student-loan portfolio has since doubled while severely delinquent loans have spiked despite a good economy. Many borrowers in income-based repayment plans aren’t repaying principal, so their balances are growing as they accrue more interest. By 2012 a majority of new borrowers had bigger balances after two years of making payments.
Yet during the Obama years CBO scored student loans as a government profit center by underestimating the growth in income-based repayment plans. CBO has slowly scaled back its 10-year revenue projections for student loans to a $31.4 billion government cost in this year’s forecast from a $219 billion 10-year revenue gain in 2012.
The nearby chart tells the story. Using fair-market accounting that prevails in the private economy, CBO now projects a $306.7 billion cost to taxpayers over the next 10 years. The red ink will be far worse beyond that 10-year budget window.
Another non-surprise: The government is spending more to administer student loans than the Obama crowd forecast. In 2010 the government spent $800 million on “administrative costs,” which CBO projected would increase to $1.2 billion in 2019. The government’s overhead tab this year was $2.9 billion.
You can always tell when Hondo has fucking nothing. The Wikipedia links with no comments start appearing.
I'm sorry that facts bother you.
What facts? Obama nationalized the student loan program and he lied with the promise that it will save us money. Just like you Kunts are lying now about how Single payer healthcare will save us money.
so many proprograms to buy votes with tax dollars.
You mean like trump sending out giveaways to farmers to make up for his stupid trade war?
No like welfare, food stamps, section 8, no border enforcement, no borders, illegals being registered to vote, illegals getting government benefits, giving home loans to people that can't pay etc.
Temporary support is all social programs were meant to be. Turing them into generational payments for political support is criminal.

You've posted nothing that refutes any of that.
