Trump and his admin are racking up such a strong record of helping those left behind economically - for his rabid base. If only they werenā€™t accomplished in disappearing ink and in an alternative universe.

What did the defrauded students expect? Thatā€™s why you should vote, you donā€™t need a college degree to do so.

When POLITICO was ALL IN for the GOP during the Presidential primaries, Rich Lowry wrote a couple of columns attacking Obama and on behalf of the for profit trade schools and colleges. And the advertisements that would be embedded in the POLITICO site while you read his columns were for different for profit colleges.

I swear that the only test the Orange Baboon gives to his appointmentees is how cruel and heartless they can be. Who is benefiting from this half-assed program? Do these failed ā€œschoolsā€ still have influence? Or is it the private banking hucksters who have leverage?

Seriously ā€“ these criminals arenā€™t even trying to hide their theft. They have an agenda to control all avenues of wealth accumulation for themselves while robbing the middle and lower classes of any means to achieve upward mobility or economic stability. The only people who will win in the trump economy will be those already on top and the people who suck up to them. They are not even pretending to take care of their gullible supporters. Jesus will provide to the true believers.

Time for a full-blown student debt strike?
