American took out a student loan - She borrowed under $28k - She’s paid back $38k - Her current balance owed is $58k - That’s $68k of interest on a $28k loan (so far) I don’t care what anyone says, this is criminal. Interest terms like this need to be illegal “I have been paying on my student loan since 2008. I have never been delinquent. I have never missed a payment and I've always made the payment that is requested and even I've made additional payments or sometimes more than my payment.” “I graduated college — with a little under $28,000 in student loans. I, to date, have paid $37,000 back to my student loans since 2008, but I still owe like $58,000. The math isn't math-ing. I'm not great at math, but the math isn't math-ing there.” Americans have no chance of ever paying back these predatory loans

🇺🇸FCC FAST-TRACKS SOROS' BID TO DOMINATE THE AIRWAVES Last week, the FCC adopted an order to approve his purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election. The stations reach more than 165 million Americans, and staff at the FCC are concerned that the move is politically motivated. The commission's three democrats voted for the move, while the two republicans voted against it. Under existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of U.S radio stations is not supposed to exceed 25%.  Soros took foreign investment to make his bid and then filed a request for the commission to make an exception to the usual review process. The decision to fast-track the approval process bypassed a national security review, which could have taken up to a year to complete. Source: NY Post
