A contract sounds more serious than a note—maybe that’s the point or just clever rewording?

A student loan contract—finally some clarity, because vague notes never helped anyone.

Renaming promissory notes doesn’t erase the debt crisis, but hey, at least it sounds fancy now.

So we’re renaming papers but not fixing the problem; progress is in the eye of the beholder.

If you sign a contract, you pay up—no more excuses or government bailouts.

Changing the name won’t change the price tag; students still owe every penny back.

Contracts imply commitment, but let’s see if Congress commits to actual student aid next.
left-leaning 07/21/2025
Calling it a 'contract' doesn’t change the fact students are still shackled for life.

Nice rebrand, Congress, but students need relief, not just new names on old chains.
