These numbers are a shitshow.
The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it.
That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

Everyone should remember we forgave $800bb in PPP loans, 10-15% of which were outright fraud. That’s about 50% of the $1.7T outstanding student loan balances. Stop with the “take out a loan and you must pay it back” narrative.
