The Biden Administration is stealing from Middle America. Last week, they took from plumbers, truckers, contractors, and everyone without a college degree to pay down the loans of those who do.

College is too expensive; I’ll be the first to agree with that. No one is questioning whether a degree in “insert liberal buzzword here” studies is work $100K+. What we are questioning is why people continue pursuing these degrees, knowing it will land them in a mountain of debt, and why those of us who chose not to are left footing the bill.

When will Washington Democrats realize that easy access to government funds drives costs up? We are still experiencing the impacts of the American Rescue Plan, which added as much as 4 points to our inflation crisis. Now, that’s set to go up even more so that lower income earners can subsidize higher income earners’ degrees.

Once this $300 billion “band-aid” is spent, students will still have debt, America will still have sky-high inflation, and colleges and universities will still be charging too much for tuition. In other words, the cycle continues, only now it’s worse. Why? Because the federal government has set a precedent that it will cover for the woke universities that overcharge students and the students who graduate with a degree that will not enable them to pay those loans back.

I don’t know about y’all, but I was spending 11 figures on a band aid, I’d at least want it to work! 

Before this announcement, 87% of Americans did not have student loan debt. Now, we all do. Biden is making everyone who worked multiple jobs, studied or practiced hard for a scholarship, or joined the military to pay for school look like a fool. Because all along, Washington Democrats been waiting to buy college graduates’ votes for $20,000.

In this week's edition of Buddy's Briefing, we are officially in back-to-school season nationwide, which (unfortunately) means high prices for parents. 

Wednesday, August 31: I’m back in Jesup today as I have the honor of addressing the Brunswick/Savannah Area Society of American Foresters (SAF) at their quarterly meeting as we discuss issues impacting their profession such as high energy prices and over-regulation. In Congress, I serve on the Select Committee on Climate Change where I continuously remind my colleagues that Georgia is the number one forestry state in the nation and that trees and forests are the answer to clean air.

Afterwards, I head to our Brunswick district office in Glynn County where I have a virtual interview with the Korean Broadcasting System to discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act recently passed by the Democrat majority by a partisan vote will potentially jeopardize the $5.5 billion Hyundai plant planned for Bryan County in the First District.

After a call with staff to discuss legislative issues, I have a virtual interview with Channel A in South Korea to discuss the disastrous Inflation Acceleration Act and its negative impact on South Korea, the United States 6th largest trading partner.

Afterwards, I head to St. Simons Island where I meet with members of the Georgia Narcotics Officers’ Association and thank them for the important work they do to keep our communities safe.  

Thursday, September 1: During the August recess, when we are not in session, we have staff from Washington visit the district to meet with groups that we work with in order to better understand their issues. Today, our Communications Director from D.C. is in the district and we start our morning off with a visit to the Chatham County Police Department where Chief Jeff Hadley allows us to join in on their weekly leadership meeting with detectives and department heads as they discuss pending cases and crime trends. These highly trained professionals provide our communities with much needed protection and the appreciation we have for their work cannot be overstated.

Afterwards, I participate in a ride along with one of our great officers as he shares with me what a typical day looks like for an officer on the beat.

Next, I head to our Savannah District office where I join in on a virtual member call with the E&C Committee to review committee work followed by a virtual GOP member call to discuss our Commitment to America agenda.

Afterwards, I head to the studios of WJCL TV in Savannah where I meet with General Manager Ben Hart and News Director Will Dillard before taping an interview for a later broadcast.

After returning to our Savannah District office, I have a live interview on Cavuto Coast to Coast on Fox Business as we discuss President Biden’s unfair and terrible order to forgive student debt before heading back out to the studios of WTOC TV in Savannah.

After a great meeting with General Manager Larry Silbermann and News Director Bari Soash, I head back to our Savannah District office where I host a parent’s roundtable on education to hear first-hand the experiences and concerns that parents have with our schools. I am very appreciative of this invaluable input from this group.

Next, I host a tele townhall call with my special guest, Rep. Marinette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), who serves on the Education Committee and gives us her perspective on the unfair and terrible student debt forgiveness.

Afterwards, I record a video pledging to support mental health funding before heading to downtown Savannah to attend a reception celebrating the 125th anniversary of Oliver Maner law firm.

Friday, September 2: After attending our weekly Band of Brothers bible study in Garden City this morning, I head to Kings Bay Naval Base in Camden County where I attend the Commander Submarine Group Ten Change of Command and Retirement Ceremony. At this most impressive ceremony, Rear Admiral John Spencer, United States Navy (USN), is relieved by Rear Admiral Thomas R. “T.R.” Buchanan, USN, as Commander, Submarine Group Ten. After the Change of Command, we hear from Admiral John Spencer as he is retiring and reflects on his 32 years of service in the USN.

Afterwards, I head to the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in Pooler where I am hosting a Service Academy Fair for students interested in applying to our service academies. I am very appreciative of the various branches of services and schools who are present to assist the students and answer their questions.

Later, I head to Jesup as I have the honor of flipping the coin at the Appling County-Wayne County football game.
