Support the Department of Education! I am a retired individual who is still paying her student loans and while I understand that the Biden administration's forgiveness programs have been discontinued, I still believe more can be done. Instead of increasing loan payments for borrowers, interest-free would be a huge help to many. The DOE was created for a reason, and while many would argue public education needs to be evaluated, cutting resources is NOT the answer. The United States needs to value public education, not crush it. Nobody wants a 'stupid' public, except for the GOP, and that goes against everything we as a country should stand for. Please, in whatever ways you can, do not let this current administration continue to decimate our way of life. Thank you
