Here's a thought. How about we reduce the cost of education, instead of just forgiving debt. I get that is an amazing help, but what happens when the next round of graduates come out and they have 100k or more in student debt? Should a degree really cost that much? Should it take decades to pay off that degree? Let's get to the root of the problem instead of trying to put a bandaid on the severed artery.

Annnd I am not one of them. Sad.

Why can we not do both? We have enough tax revenue to give money away in foreign aid, so we have enough to do both if we stop giving away funds that do not directly help Americans.

Has anyone actually gotten the letter? At face value, my wife should get one but no email as of 7pm EST.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
