@pbsnews: President Donald Trump’s new tax and spending law brings sweeping changes to the federal student loan system, affecting both current and future borrowers. Nearly half a million borrowers could see their payments spike after the Department of Education scrapped most existing repayment plans. The law also imposes new lifetime borrowing caps: $100,000 for graduate students, $200,000 for those pursuing professional degrees and $65,000 per child for parent borrowers. PBS News Hour's Geoff Bennett spoke with NPR's Cory Turner to learn more. #pbsnews #pbsnewshour #newshour #studentloans #studentloandebt #BigBill #departmentofeducation
65k for parents isn’t even gonna cover one year of college

Is the Cap per year or for the life of the student loan? That makes a difference as well, good or bad.

These changes do nothing but hurt the borrowers seeking an education. The easier thing to do would be to cap tuition costs, but no because capitalism

People complain about being 18 and tying into a long term financial agreement that they don’t understand. You must realize that a cap on loan size helps mitigate that burden.

I feel like since plans won’t be ready people shouldn’t be forced to make payments and interest shouldn’t be a thing because he wanted to make changes
