7. The Student Loan Conundrum September 07, 2022 The Student Loan Conundrum I’m pivoting from my traditional satirical posts via “The Mirror Rearview” to comment directly about current events from an economic perspective. In this blog, I wish to specifically express an opinion about the student debt relief program recently announced by President Biden.

Nonetheless, I also interpret Biden’s announcement as another example of a government policy gone awry with debt relief favoring a select class. Stepping back, the core problem i...

25. Call for decency and cooperation October 04, 2020 I am a concerned patriot of the United States of America, and I beseech those who love our country to consider. Take heed. I've thought much about the time when we could disagree with one another, but that didn't mean that we should banish those who disagree with us from this country or even the planet.
