A well-paid Congressional staffer boasts of having his education loans bailed out. It then goes downhill from there.
According to Zillow (he shared his own address online), his home is worth $560,000 today and last sold in 2011 for $320,000. He’s making up to $91k/year and is eligible for annual bonuses, plus attended an expensive private university. He’s the Communications Director for Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D), who in past years has said she is opposed to education loan forgiveness. The $8k is probably not the total loan but the amount left over after making earlier payments – but why, considering his income level, does he need to be paid off by taxpayers who had to fund their own college education and taxpayers who never were able to go to college?
This ends up an argument for what is wrong with loan forgiveness programs – giving forgiveness to wealthy people. One would think a Communications Director would have thought this through; this is a backfire.
He has since protected his posts (see saved copy below), and made his Instagram account private.
He had photos of himself attending expensive sports events and restaurants, including seasons sports tickets costing near $3k/year. He lived quite the highlife: Dem staffer blasted for spending habits after going viral for thanking Biden for erasing $8K student debt
For a PR/communications expert, he does not seem to be too bright.
His originals, in case he deletes them:
He posted this online and made it a public document.
