it s a game changer. we re also fixing what s called, and this has been the bane of driving me crazy when i was out of office. the public service loan forgiveness program. now, this program forgives student loans to encourage those students who have those loans if they go in to public service. think of the millions who are. public school teachers, local police officers, workers at local charities, members of the military and national guard, and so many more, think of the folks who work for federal, state, local, travel governments, keeping essentially services going, respond to go natural disaster, all of those firefighters and cops. the program is designed so if you serve in one of these jobs and be able to list those and be able to accurately assess whether you do, and make your loan payments for ten years, even if it s not consecutive years, your remaining balance will be completely forgiven. it s a great idea but the program is a mess. it s so inefficient, and complicated

and then the politics of immigration. yes. and people are cynical right now. because we ve been saying this since the 90s. we need immigration reform. and dreamers are in this bind. they were giving this pathway for residents, residential status and now they re in limbo. can they get this in this sort of reconciliation bill and right now senator shumer is trying to be kind of like the lbj but he s not as tall and can t give everybody the treatment. he s not in that position, but he needs to have this strategy to get this 50/50 split senate to get this over the line. can he do this with dreamers, infrastructure, and by the way, some senators are asking us, what do you know? is my broad band in there, the infrastructure? senators want this broadband. they want the infrastructure, especially with water. where travel governments are struggling with water treatment and clean water. water issues everywhere, but particularly in the west.
americans. and then a couple other key pieces, there s something that has to do with the supreme court ruling that basically said travel governments has no jurisdiction over non-native americans on tribal lands and the result has been that a lot of tribal people have not been able to seek justice, even for heinous crimes like in the case of rape. it also deals with resources, including taking away permits for pipelines that go through a tribal land. this is a hefty bill, and politically speaking it s very interesting because the post that she put out was very long but made no mention of her own family s an seftry. this is the reason she fell in hot political water earlier this year. she s been attacked by the president with the derogatory nickname he s given her. i find it interesting that she s going there on this. she could have stayed away and not focused on this a lot. if you look ahead to her schedule it s on monday that
