Sorry, loan forgiveness is only for the rich.
When you've only ever known privilege, being treated like everyone else would feel like discrimination.
As an example, the lawsuit alleged that Faust and other white, male farmers are charged a $100 "administration fee" to participate in one program that exempts women and minority farmers from paying the same fee. In another example, Faust "participates in a USDA program that guarantees 90% of the value of loans to white farmers, but 95% to women and racial minorities," according to the report.
While I'm not exactly sympathetic to the "plight of the white man," it is a little weird (if true) that the USDA can have a "white men only fee" for some programs.
My understanding was that most DEI initiatives were built around breaking up old-boys-clubs by requiring preference for minority businesses when all other factors are considered equal. The above doesn't really feel like that.
Wait... His name is Faust? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm TOTALLY FINE with My Tax dollars going to Their Loans AS LONG AS those loans are for TRACTORS and NOT EDUCATION!
However crazy, i still expect him to win the lawsuit.
