It's a pragmatic policy, society is better off if we get these consumers out from under debt. It will be good for the economy. And the loans are handed out freely, to very young people with no good understanding of what a burden they can be, and who see no good alternative for their educational aspirations in the face of tuition-through-the-roof. They deserve relief at least as much as the 1% deserved a trillion off their taxes....

‘Enough is enough’: Dems rage at Saudis over oil cut, vow to block weapons sales
The message comes from Senate Foreign Relations Chair Bob Menendez, who has veto power over foreign arms sales.

...also time for a full investigation of their $2B quid-quo-pro "investment" in Javanka's "investment" funds...

The Saudis can get Chinese, Indian & Iranian arm catalogs without Russia as the middleman.

The sale of weaponry on the Saudi scale is bigger than Menendez.

Of course Menendez has to make some noise.

Isn't it ironic that the USA has to refuel the Saudis' jet fighters as they bomb Yemen ?

I mean they have the petroleum.

We could stop doing that, couldn't we ?

Says here we stopped doing that in Nov 2018. And they are supposed to pay us for the flights and fuel, but still owe some.

'Some' being the operative word.

It says we scaled back on 'some' of the activities.

Could be worse.

Here's an actual snap-shot from my front porch; the dread red state report.

Neighbor's yard yesterday.
