Billion in fraud here, billion in fraud there. Nothing to worry about. Just hope the big guy got his 10%.

The swamp is deeper than we thought but it can be drained.

Only a billion? They must not have been looking too hard.

With 1.8 trillion in outstanding student loan balances and about 90-92% of that federally guaranteed, I would say they are not looking hard enough.

At some point, there has to be an assessment...degree ‘x’ is minimal value, so we only allow $4,000 a year in student loan help. Once kids realize there’s 40-odd degrees that can’t relate to ‘value’...the education fraud will halt.

Someone, at some level, was in charge of the disbursement of these funds.
Why is there never any names and photos of actual people attached to these fraud stories?
Unless there are convictions and long prison sentences for those responsible, there will never be an end to this.

For sure there re a lot of thieves who populate the pipeline of money, all the way from the source to the intended 'recipients'.

There are as many ways to pilfer the money as there are unprincipled jerks all along the way who either actually steal the money, or else who look the other way!

I'm sure this has been going on for donkeys' years! You can bet this is at the bottom of all the hatred for Trump who wants to choke off the grift. And the people who steal are both 'Republicans' and Democrats!

Are we at the point where a billion dollars is no longer “real money”?

And here is another data point that makes one wonder if there are other types of college fraud ...

...40% of Stanford undergrads receive disability accommodations—but it’s become a college-wide phenomenon...

“You can bet this is at the bottom of all the hatred for Trump who wants to choke off the grift. And the people who steal are both ‘Republicans’ and Democrats!”

The British booted Churchill in 1945—before the Japanese had even surrendered in the Pacific.

The war Trump is waging against the deep state—we really need him to win it. Definitively.

Right. The system corruption has reached a critical mass.

It is hard to believe how the US has made it this far, when SO much ineptitude and fraud have co existed within the framework of departments and agencies.

The culture of grift in DC and throughout the country amazes me more EVERY DAY!

Nothing else explains how people get into office nearly broke then retire with millions!!! Yes...they hate him!!

They say turn the other cheek...

With PDJT, does he literally need to turn the other ear?

He’s got to be wondering—What more do I need to do, to sacrifice, to get the crew all rowing in the same direction?

Another Biden-related scam has been uncovered? Why can’t that guy be facing prosecution?

The Rino's just reverted to type.

What they're doing is just par for the course with them...never mind that many owe their seats to Trump ... even though they didn't (don't) go one inch out of their way to help him!

As for his team in DC, it reminds me of the Churchill quote: (loosely) 'Never have so many owed so much to so few'
