The 2019 Budget proposal by the Trump administration entails massive cuts to student aid programs. One of the most significant cuts is the elimination of Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. This program allows students who pursue a career in public service to receive loan forgiveness after 120 qualified payments on a repayment plan. This proposal will hurt workers, such as teachers, who devote their lives towards the betterment of society. The bourgeois parliament finds it more appropriate to deliver tax cuts to billionaires and debt bondage for the mass of workers.

Another key strategy of the Trump administration is to reduce the amount of funding Department of Education receives. The proposed budget for the department is set to decrease 10.5% from 2017 levels. The “balanced budget” of fiscal conservatives reduces programs that support the working class and enacts programs that benefit the oligarchs.

Yet rockets and nukes will get more. Seems like smart move.
