A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
The student loan debt crisis is a crisis. No doubt about it. It’s really really bad public policy to do this, creating a subclass of heavily indebted young people who can’t form families or buy houses at a time when inflation is rampant and the highest in two generations. These kids are never going to pay it back. But it is really, really unfair that a generation of young Democrats get a ‘free’ education while the rest of us didn’t go to college and have to pay for it.

Swampe Roolum how about payback what you borrowed. If the idiots got a bad deal
Who held a gun to their heads to sign the
Loan papers? No one they are responsible.
They and you don’t like to play by the rules.
The Marxists like to fast track everything on their wish list so as to make it difficult to rescind when it turns out to be a lemon. Work permits and drivers licenses for illegals? Now! More marijuana dispensaries? Now! Your drivers license on your phone? Now! They can’t hurry their takeover of everything fast enough.
