Law school cost me $190,000.

I now owe $223,000.
I pay $830 per month, and next year it will be more.
I genuinely believe law school student loans are designed to make pro bono representation impossible.

Exactly why the Ellisons are completely unfit to own Warner and CNN — even with all their wealth, what a bunch of acquiescent stooges. They are uninterested in making journalism better or a better business, but happy to make it better for Trump.
