Good luck to your kids and grandkids, education is fucked. Back to the feudal times where only royalty and the rich were educated. If this passes I am not paying student loans anymore. The department that issued them will be gone so why pay.

I couldn’t even imagine what even dumber Americans would look like.
I refer you to the documentary films "Idiocracy" and "Don't Look Up"
Unfortunately, reality has surpassed the referenced films.

So how is Betsy DeVos gonna siphon money for public schools to provide schools?
Knowledge is power, and the GOP can't have educated people around...gotta keep that shit in check and keep our kids stupid so they can't ask questions, you know?
US Healthcare system is the worst in the world by any measure from cost to outcomes
Republicans: lets do the same to the education system.
How you all haven't had a revolution I'll never understand.
When the capitol of the country is possibly thousands of miles away, and missing work means losing health insurance and becoming homeless, it terrifies a lot of people that can't even miss one day of work for being sick, let alone the days' journey and expense it would take. Much longer than the maximum 8 hour drive it would take to get from anywhere in Germany to Berlin, by comparison.
Not an excuse either, the US is just huge, and set up for citizens to fail if they actually stand up.

Is this better or worse then him packing the Department of Education with ideologues?
So, the DOE handles student loans. No DOE, what happens to the loans?
I'm sure the "servicers" will continue to collect. Republicans went out of their way to file a suit on behalf of one of them that triggered relief getting blocked.
Don't worry, they will make sure to close all of the loopholes that might actually benefit the working class.

Good news everyone! No more Student Loans!
Remember when Bush pushed the "No Child Left Behind Act", and we all realized the federalization of control over education was deeply problematic and removed democratic control over education? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
The government not handling every social function in society isn't scary on its own. That in combination with the people as a whole having no control over the economy is when that becomes nasty (i.e., economic inequality). That is of course the vision of the ruling class.
