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.
We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President, 1933-1945
It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty.
James Monroe, 5th President, 1817-1825
In framing a government…the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
James Madison, 4th President, 1809-1817

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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.
All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.
John Quincy Adams, 6th President, 1825-1829

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.

Whenever I hear someone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain.
