If you look at some of them closely, you can see the Chicago skyline. Continue reading

 Brandon and Company don’t seem to be able to see the possible consequences of their actions.  The specter of ‘forgiving’ federal student loans via executive order fiat has risen from the dead (nothwithstanding the fact that even Pelosi said it would be illegal).   It’s a bad idea on several fronts–you might get kudos from a… Continue reading
