The last Democrat to serve in the senate from Texas was Bob Krueger in 1993… what are we really talking about here

Law school cost me $190,000.
I have paid $206,000 since graduation.
I now owe $223,000.
I pay $830 per month, and next year it will be more.
I genuinely believe law school student loans are designed to make pro bono representation impossible.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
