Sen. Elizabeth Warren is raging once again—this time because President Donald Trump is doing something radical: collecting on student loans.

In a fiery outburst, Warren slammed the administration for resuming enforcement of taxpayer-backed student loan repayments. Her complaint? That it’s somehow “punishing” borrowers. But to many Americans, especially those who paid off their loans or never took any, Trump’s approach is just common sense.

Trump’s policy doesn’t create new loans, nor does it burden borrowers with surprise fees. It simply expects Americans who voluntarily signed loan agreements—many for six-figure sums—to actually repay them.

That, apparently, is too much for Warren and the progressive wing of the Democrat Party.

The senator, who once falsely claimed Native American ancestry to advance her career at Harvard, claimed that forcing people to honor their debts was “cruel.” But her outrage skips over one crucial fact: she helped build the very system that put millions of Americans under mountains of student debt.

For years, Warren championed policies that poured federal dollars into the college loan system, removing basic safeguards like risk assessments. Anyone could get a loan—regardless of whether their major had any real job prospects. The results? Skyrocketing tuition, bloated university bureaucracies, and a generation of students burdened with useless degrees and no way to pay the bill.

Under her watch, the federal government became the largest student loan lender in the country. And now, instead of fixing the broken model or holding universities accountable, she wants taxpayers to absorb the cost.

Critics say Warren is gaslighting the public. “Only in a Democrat’s world could collecting on an agreed-upon contract be seen as ‘punishment,’” wrote RedState’s Bonchie. “Elizabeth Warren and people like her are the ones who caused the student loan crisis.”

The Trump administration isn’t forgiving loans or pretending they don’t exist—it’s simply enforcing repayment, something even private lenders expect as standard practice. For working-class Americans, many of whom paid off their own loans or never went to college, the idea that they should now cover someone else’s six-figure liberal arts degree doesn’t fly.

Instead of taking responsibility, Warren’s strategy is to shift blame. She paints Trump’s enforcement efforts as heartless while ignoring the role her own policies played in encouraging young people to take on debt they could never realistically repay.

As Bonchie points out, the real predators aren’t in the Trump administration—they’re in the halls of academia. Universities have been raking in billions while encouraging students to pursue degrees with little market value, all on the promise of government-funded loans.

Meanwhile, Warren and her progressive allies keep demanding forgiveness plans that benefit wealthy degree-holders while sticking the bill to truck drivers, electricians, and everyday Americans who chose not to attend college—or paid their own way.

Trump’s move to enforce repayment isn’t just sound policy—it’s a matter of fairness. The federal government isn’t a charity. If borrowers want their loans forgiven, they should take it up with the universities that took their tuition money, not the taxpayers who had nothing to do with it.

Warren’s rant may play well with far-left activists, but for the millions of Americans who played by the rules, her outrage sounds more like desperation than leadership.

And if she’s looking to yell at someone about the mess we’re in, she can start with a mirror.
