The further dismantling of the Department of Education is bad not only for impeding its Congressionally-approved functions but because of what it signals about how little we actually value education in this country.

That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.

So don’t make housing more affordable, but instead simply enslave people for their entire lives…😖
Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
