  • Complete bullshit spin on what the Biden Administration actually did.

    What they actually did was take ALL Federal loans and make them current. Including loans from 20+ years ago that had already been discharged by the schools, and fallen off of credit reports. Meaning the school themselves no long had any control over the loans, which then had ALL the years’ interest tacked on as they were handed over to the DOE’s third party companies (ie debt collectors), like ECSI. Eg, a $3,000 Pell grant now had nearly $3,000 in interest too. In many cases, these were loans that borrowers may not have been aware of, since the school was not contacting the loan recipient whatsoever, for over a decade, or more.

    In other words, Biden dropped a huge pile of shit into people’s laps and then tried to grandstand his miniscule efforts were easily blocked by a complicit judiciary and GOP.

    Democrats are Controlled Opposition. Nothing more or less.


  • [ Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky had sent a letter to Hobbs earlier in the week, pleading with her to veto the legislation, saying it would negatively impact communities in the state.

    “SB 1543 poses a serious threat to local democracy,” the letter read. “It preempts the authority of local governments - elected by and accountable to their communities - to make decisions about planning, zoning, and development. By removing these decisions from the hands of local residents and their representatives, this legislation bypasses the democratic process and sets a dangerous precedent.” ]
