Cuts, Costs, and College Debt

On this Washington Wednesday edition of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy unpack what’s inside President Donald Trump’s sweeping reconciliation bill as it heads to the Senate—and what could derail it. Reporter Michael Jones joins the show to explain the sharp divisions among Senate Republicans over spending cuts, Medicaid changes, and deficit concerns. Then, the show turns to student loan repayment with policy expert Michele Zampini, who breaks down what new repayment rules, agency cuts, and proposed overhauls could mean for Georgia’s 1.7 million borrowers.
