Congressman Rips Story About Him In The Paper
Congressman rips comments from paper – StarPress story: (Congressman) Greg Pence criticizes student loan plan – (but) His PPP loan was forgiven – Pence Group, LLC – under the Paycheck Protection Program. We asked for a comment over the weekend. The Pence statement: “Only someone like Joe Biden who has been living off taxpayer dollars for fifty years can confuse the difference between PPP loans and Student Loan handouts. In the height of an unprecedented pandemic where businesses across the country were forced to close, PPP loans were distributed to keep people employed since they had no choice but to shutter completely. Congress debated the bill and ultimately it passed, 419-6. Biden’s political payout in the form of Student Loan handouts for people who chose to attend college and take out loans never saw any congressional action because there was no way Congress would support it. Instead, he’s abusing the power of the presidency to dole out billions of dollars in kickbacks to students who support him politically and forcing the average American to pay thousands to finance his scheme.”
It might be the highest Teacher pay rate in State – MCS offers $210 per day for qualified substitute teachers – the issue – too few substitute teachers across the country.
