Data released by U.S. Department of Education shows that only a few thousands applications to PSLF were eligible for loan forgiveness because of the strict requirements. It has a noble mission, but the program is helping too few. Perhaps reform is in the cards?forbes.com/sites/wesleywh…

My heart goes out to people in Southern California impacted by the wildfires. The impact is horribly worsened by the insurance crisis created by the California government.

Govt price controls and bureaucracy have made it impossible for insurance cos to continue writing policies in many areas. Look for the government to blame the insurance companies. But companies that can’t make money go bankrupt.

California govt doesn’t understand this because when they run out of money they just raise taxes. The problem is not new, but when it impacted everyday Californians it was not a govt priority. Now that it is impacting people important to them, change may finally come.
