Tim Davis. Scott Henderson. Mike Brandi. Brandon Baumann.
How many closed plants in your town and nobody came back for it?
This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles.
In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive.
Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time.
This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on.
There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell is one of the most impressive people in America. Her interview on CNBC is a must-watch.
I loved her answer about SpaceX’s role as a government contractor:
“We’re always going to support our government. We’re a company of patriots, and we want to make sure our government has access to the leading technology and the best stuff. And I think we provide the best stuff.”

This is not a political issue. This is a national moral obligation.
Over half of college students can’t answer basic civics questions, from the Bill of Rights to the 3 branches of government.
Only 41% of 18–29 yr olds say they’re proud to be American.
As America turns 250, let’s recommit to sharing our nation's story with the next generation.
Which high school has the most alumni in this year's Men's College World Series?
It's not IMG Academy or a school with 3,500 kids.
It's the Hartselle Tigers with 4 players on the Tide.
That's a testament to the culture instilled by the late William Booth:
