Thousands of Student Loan Borrowers Could See Wages Garnished in Just Days (www.newsweek.com)

According to the NYT article[0] "about five million borrowers are in default" which means like 1.5% of the population is about to have 15% of their wages garnished. Seems pretty intense.

2 of the 4 and giving every possible pass available to give, including siding with Israel. 50% of the power and 10% of the effort doesn't work.

Nice made up numbers. With 90% of the effort and 50% of the power, they can only get 10% of the results.

If you care about issues like Israel, then you need to support the candidates that support your view.
