The House Tax Cut bill eliminates the deduction for interest on college loans & ends the tax free status of tuition waivers for grad students.
Keep them stupid is the Republican mantra. Their base is disproportionately dumbasses. They want to expand their base.
Well what's this you say? A tax plan that is going to double the standard deduction is also going to get rid of a few already existing deductions, so that folks don't get both?
Dumb shit. Whatever school you matriculated from, you should sue them for malpractice.
You get the extra deduction regardless.
It makes college more expensive.
Actually, what has made college more expensive is pell grants and student loans which have allowed a lot of people to avoid getting a job by going to college that they otherwise shouldn't be going to, making seats at those colleges more expensive.
Any reasonable person knows this is true. Every year there are tons of folks in college who frankly have no business being in college, but hey it's free government money, so why not? Better than working for a living. Take away Pell grants and guaranteed student loans and enrollment would drop meaning college costs would drop.
