Contrary to what many ppl think, this executive order isn't creating a new program. Student debt forgiveness (for permanently disabled vets) already existed but the program was bogged down by red tape and mismanagement.
Before, vets (the lucky few who were even informed of their eligibility) had to go through a lengthy application process to capitalize on this benefit.
Trump's order cuts out the middle man and makes debt forgiveness an automatic action with an opt-out clause for eligible vets.
Why are people under the impression it's something Hitler wouldn't do? Nozzies promoted and implemented placing the interests of the country as a whole before those of municipalities, a reduction of class distinction in both a monetary and humanitarian sense, full employment, free education, massive public works programs, improved social services and family welfare, pro-environment legislation, emphasis on health and physical fitness, animal rights, etc.
Clearing up red tape is nice, but it's not a new entitlement. This is maybe the easiest available cherrypick for praise tbh, but it's a good thing.
I thought the previous administration officially stated all veterans since the US invasions of Afghanstan and Iraq have PTSD. Therefore, all vets are considered to have a disability (their term).
So, does this current executive order cover all vets since 2001?
It’s insane you found a way to bitch about thisIt sounds great, but he's a conman, so you always have to wonder about the reasoning, and be extremely wary.
It's insane I'm saying that about the leader of the free world.
Oh, yeah. Aside from the whole genocidal ideology thing, the downside is that all unions were abolished and nationalized into the sole DAF. It was harsh as shit, touted "for the greater good" and all but mandatory lest you found yourself escorted to a concentration camp with other undesirables.

Get off the internet for a while
Get laid or something
Change your padIt's a damn good idea, but he has a history of not following through on these things. I think this would be disappointing to the people who he promises things to.
One can admit the good nature of an idea, while finding it specious to expect it's implementation, due to precedent. If you find this bitching, I'm sorry, for you are a bitch.

List of executive orders he’s written that he didn’t actually sign
Summary:
- We currently have about 25,000 veterans who are eligible for student loan debt forgiveness, with an average of $30,000 of student loan each.
- The debt-forgiveness program for disabled vets existed long before, but it was designed with so much bureaucratic red tapes to cut through that only 1 in 5 of our eligible vets actually ends up receiving it.
- With President Trump's new executive order, all federal student loan debts owed by any permanently disabled U.S veterans are now automatically cancelled by the Department of Education, unless they specifically request to opt out.
President Trump signs executive order to eliminate federal student loan debt for permanently disabled vets
By Savannah Behrmann and Chris Kenning, USA TODAY | Aug. 21, 2019
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday a new plan to relieve disabled veterans totally of federal student loan debt.
"The debt of disabled veterans will be entirely erased," Trump said during his prepared remarks at the American Veterans 75th National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. "In a few moments, I will sign a memorandum directing the Department of Education to eliminate every penny of federal student loan debt owed by American veterans who are completely and permanently disabled."
About half of the roughly 50,000 disabled veterans who are qualified to have their federal student loan debt forgiven have received the benefit because of an application process that has proven burdensome, the administration said.
The memo directs the government to develop an "expedited" process, which the Department of Education said would mean loans are forgiven unless veterans opt out.
Trump addressed a large crowd of veterans at the event, saying, "You fought courageously for your country, and now we’re fighting courageously for you."
He also vowed to eliminate "every penny" of an average of $30,000 in federal student loan debt for each of about 25,000 disabled veterans.
At the conclusion of his address, the president stayed on stage to sign the executive order in front of the crowd, flanked by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, among others.
“That's hundreds of millions of dollars in student debt held by our severely wounded warriors. It's gone forever,” Trump said.
