Are student loan borrowers merely another source of wealth extraction for the thinking of the Yale educated and English colonizer mindset?

Treasury Secretary @SecScottBessent is about to have a LOT more blood like this on his hands. He should rethink himself & tell Trump/Congress to return bankruptcy protections to the loans.

Misinterpreting data is not oversight. You are wrong on the facts. Again.

What you actually have is evidence that investigators obtained donor and merchandise-purchase records through subpoenas in a criminal investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn an election. You have zero evidence that 639,000 Americans were criminally targeted for buying MAGA hats, or that Smith maintained an “enemies list.” You're confusing people appearing in subpoenaed records with people being investigated for crimes. That's not oversight. That's manufacturing persecution out of evidence you either disingenuous and don't understand or are deliberately misrepresenting. But we all know the truth: you are an unprincipled coward who will be remembered in history as a member of Congress who enabled the rise of 21st-century authoritarianism. THAT will be your legacy.

Yes, this speaks to the fact the college education should be a public good not a money making scheme for the government.
A College graduate pays about $7,100 more per year in federal income taxes than does average high school graduate. Over 25-years, that's $175,000. Perhaps the taxpayer has gotten a return on their "investment" w/o the usurious capitalized interest. @POTUS @RepSaraJacobs @nytimes
