It really baffles me how far the GOP is willing to go against policies that would actually help Americans out of sheer spite. I guess I'm relieved that this won't really affect me now that I'm in graduate school anyways, but it's still extremely stressful not knowing whether or not things like PSLF will still exist when I'm done with school and have a student loan burden about twice the size of our mortgage.
