An Education on Obama's Department of Education

       A new scandal is brewing, as details of another one of Obama's plans to destroy the American economy's just surfaced.  As all of you, who follow my blog, are aware,  Obama, a student of Richard Cloward at Columbia, has tried to use the Cloward-Piven Theory on steroids to bring down America and its economy. This new scandal has been simmering for a long time, but has finally found its way into the media eventhough the MSM has got it all wrong as usual.  In 2010 Obama had the Department of Education take over the entire student loan and Pell grant programs, much of which had been administered through private banks.  Prior to Obama's takeover, the government had loans and grants outstanding of $100 billion.  Since the takeover, the amount has passed $1 trillion.  A division of the DOE administers the entire process, including the loans and Pell grants, which were now funded by taxpayers. In 2011 James Runcie was appointed COO of the program within the DOE and reappointed by Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, for another 5 year term in 2015.
      The House Oversight Committee has requested that Runcie testify next week about the huge increase in fraudulent loans and Pell grants and mismanagement as has been pointed out by the DOE inspector general.  The purpose of the program was not only to break the economy, but had a political end as did most Obama programs.  By directly giving loans and grants to poor students and political supporters, he would assure voter loyalty.  (As you might image, this was the main reason behind free college in the last election, voter loyalty.)  For example, in 2014 it was found that over a billion dollars in grants were fraudulent and represented about 4% of those awarded.  Instead of investigating and improving this, the Obama administration merely changed the audit technique retroactively to keep the scheme going.  Runcie has been given a total of $420,000 in bonuses to keep his mouth shut and go along with this disastrous plan.  Rather than make changes to correct problems to improve the plan, Runcie has altered the rules to cover up the problems.
      Rather than than testify before Congress, Mr. Runcie has resigned, but sited differences with new Secretary of Education Betsy DuVos that he shared with the Washington Post, an arm of the Democrat Party and protector of Obama.  The mainstream media somehow has decided that the past 7 years of mismanagement is all the fault of DuVos (fake news). Elizabeth Warren, no stranger to huge lies, is blaming her too and wants an investigation into DuVos of all things.  Now Congress will have to subpoena Runcie who will probably pull a Lois Lerner and plead the Fifth.
      Without a smoking gun, I doubt if the link to Valerie Jarrett and Obama will be disclosed.  Runcie has testified before Congress before, and if there is now evidence to suggest that he lied to Congress, he could serve some jail time unless he would be more forthcoming and implicate a higher up like his previous immediate boss Arne Duncan.
      As usual, this is a story that you won't find somewhere else unless the mainstream media wants to continue to blame Betsy DuVos and notable liar and big mouth Elizabeth Warren actually gets her wish, sort of, but the investigation will be of Obama's DOE, not PresidentTrump's.
