My Opinions are Not facts, but I think they’re Important
I have been hearing a lot of resentment over the student loan forgiveness plan that Biden introduced the other day – this is in addition to the billions that has already been forgiven, which evidently wasn’t noticed by the naysayers. There are two camps complaining here – one is the “$10K is not enough – […]
