Surprised?------Student Loans: Rampant Fraud Affecting Millions of People

Student Loans: Rampant Fraud Affecting Millions of People | The Daily Caller:
"A vast network of identity theft may have affected as many as 5 million people in order to get fraudulent student loans, reports Watchdog.
In total, these thefts gave the fraudsters $187 million (over 36 percent of all loans) according to a 2013 report by the inspector general for the Department of Education.
Well-organized “fraud rings” received all this money, and their numbers swelled from 18,000 people in 2009 to 34,000 in 2012. To date, the IG got back a mere $10.8 million — less than 6 percent of the total amount.
This massive fraud happened, among others, with online education, according to a previous report from the IG in 2011. The report stated that online education, while improving access, helps with anonymity and increases fraud. At the time, some 10,000 people allegedly participated in fraud rings registering “straw students.”

Saudi Columnist Declares Obama ‘One of the Worst American Presidents’ Over Iran Deal | TheBlaze.com:

"The concern is so acute among that Saudis that, in a stunning display earlier this week, a Saudi columnist penned an article offering his full support to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress this week “despite the Obama administration’s anger and fury.”

Columnist Ahmad Al-Faraj Monday wrote in the pro-government Saudi daily Al-Jazirah, “I believe that Netanyahu’s conduct will serve our interests, the people of the Gulf, much more than the foolish behavior of one of the worst American presidents.”

Concerned Taxpayers of Michigan – Seven Reasons to Vote NO on Raising the Michigan Sales Tax

Concerned Taxpayers of Michigan – Seven Reasons to Vote NO on Raising the Michigan Sales Tax
7 Reasons to Vote “NO” on Raising the Sales Tax to 7%

1. We can't afford even higher taxes. Michigan residents already pay among the highest gas taxes in the country, and most of that money isn't even spent on roads. We pay a 4.25% state income tax where other states have no income tax. The ballot proposal would raise the Michigan sales tax to 7%, which would make it the 2nd highest state sales tax in the nation.

"If Sales Tax is Passed, Michigan Would Have the Second Highest in the U.S.," Michigan Capitol Confidential,December 26, 2014.

The proposal would raise taxes about $200 per year for every man, woman, and child in Michigan. $800 for a family of four.
