Student loan fraud has been off the charts since Congress handed Obama the key to the student loan program.

Student loan fraud was the dry run for the kind of fraud we are seeing in places like Minnesota, California , Ohio and all around the rest of the country.

The signature feature of the fraud is Democrat politicians and the government officials that administer the programs not requiring even the most basic forms of proof of identity (or even proof of actual physical existence).

Some states like California make it illegal to even try to document identity. to verify the applicant.

In fact, the primary reason Democrat politicians are so fanatical on student loan forgiveness is not because they want to help students with high debt loads, they want to institute student loan forgiveness because the fraud is extensive and so blatant that their only hope of covering up their fraud is have the loans forgiven and written of the books so they will never be investigated and the fraud uncovered.

As soon as DOGE stars trying to track down the fraudulent and often phantom "students" or the fly by night, scammer "institutions of higher learning" that the Obama Administration allowed to register and qualify for the student loan programs they fraud is going to be exposed and people are going to be enraged.
