Government Watchdog Exposes What Went Wrong with FAFSA

September 28, 2024 This Should Have Been an Easy Rollout This issue has been sponsored by: 4PATRIOTS “Every election is determined by the people who show up.”  – Larry J. Sabato Government Watchdog Explains How FAFSA Went Wrong The rollout of the revamped Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-25 academic year was marred by significant procedural and management failures, as outlined in a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. This overhaul intended to simplify the application process for students seeking financial aid ended up causing delays in processing times, miscalculations in aid, and an overall decrease in FAFSA submissions by approximately 432,000, disproportionately affecting lower-income students. The GAO highlighted issues such as unanswered calls, with 74% of attempts going unanswered, and errors in notifying students about their eligibility, painting a picture of inadequate oversight and responsiveness from the Department of Education. These setbacks not only highlight the administrative challenges in implementing large-scale technological and procedural updates but also underscore the real-world implications for students and their access to higher education. The GAO's critique of the Department's management, including a lack of consistent leadership and oversight, suggests broader systemic issues within educational funding mechanisms. This scenario serves as an educational example of how policy implementation can critically impact educational opportunities, particularly for those most dependent on financial aid, illustrating the need for robust oversight and effective communication in public service delivery. Advertisement FBI Alert: China Attacks Critical U.S. Infrastructure [Patriot Power Sidekick and Solar Panel]( National Security Reports China's Attacks On Critical U.S. Electric Grid, Food Supply and Water Systems FBI Director Wray warns China has successfully gained access to companies throughout the U.S. in energy, telecommunications, water and has targeted 23 pipeline operators. Another shocking report reveals there have already been more than 70 attacks on America's power grid in a single year. Security experts have raised the alarm for years about the most vulnerable aspect of infrastructure in the United States that puts you and your family in critical danger: Our crumbling electric grid. Officials report that attacks on just 9 of the nation's 55,000 electrical substations could result in nationwide blackouts for up to 18 months. Your life would be frozen in time right at the moment the power fails. Lights all over the country would go out, throwing people into total chaos and darkness. Our enemies would just sit back and watch as we self-destruct through looting, rioting and the targeting of police officers. Our government is woefully unprepared. Are you and your family prepared to survive as much as 18 months without electricity, food or clean water? It seems like the government has been fixated on taking more and more away from people who worked hard to earn it, while doing virtually nothing to secure our nation's critical infrastructure.

"This product is so versatile, and at only 8 lbs, my grandchildren can get it. We had many trees down from a storm. The guys kept having to refill their gas powered chainsaws. My husband came out with this "little" box and his electric chainsaw. They laughed and said a long electric cord would be too dangerous. My husband calmly hooked up his Sidekick and made short work at lopping off the branches and then walked through the path he made. It lasted longer than the gas 'polluting' machines. Very grateful you have made this available to buy at an affordable price." Steve G. "Peace of mind for years. I purchased this product to provide power to run a box fan in the summer and lights in the winter. I can use this product every day for over four years as it can be recharged up to 2,000 times. It won't make noise that draws attention and can create comfort in a difficult situation. Best of all, it's portable." Thomas B. "Saved my CPAP machine during the winter storms. I just survived the ice storm, the freeze and the power outage in Texas using my 4Patriots products. I was most happy about my Patriot Power Sidekick. It's quiet. It's clean. I was able to deploy the solar panels on the dashboard of my van, it charged up. And then that night I plugged in my CPAP machine and it ran it all night long. With enough to charge my phone in the morning." Jana H. "Portable power was a blessing when the grid failed us. I didn't think I'd need this but I needed it shortly after receiving it. This past February was the worst freeze that we, in Texas, have seen in a long time. Our power grid failed big time. We were without power for a couple of days. This product was a blessing. We were able to have a light and a small portable TV. I highly recommend this product and the company that sells it." Allan D. "Patriot Power Sidekick to the rescue. We brought our new Patriot Power Sidekick with us on our last camping trip and it was a blessing. Our primary use was to power an air pump to easily fill up our air mattress for a comfortable night's sleep. One night we had a pinhole leak in the air mattress, so we just kept the Sidekick inside the tent hooked up to the air pump and ran it for a few minutes about every 3 hours to keep it fully inflated. It's quiet and powerful, and we will have it with us on every camping trip!" Chris S. "Power out, no problem. Recently had a power outage due to some crazy storms. I use my phone for everything. Having the sidekick charged up and charging my nearly dead phone meant I was able to have my alarm and get to work on time. Thank you for this compact, lightweight and fume free portable charging/light station available for when I needed it the most!" Richard B. "Well worth it! This is one of the items that made me a loyal customer. I never was a big fan on solar-powered anything. At the same time I've been in enough situations to know any type of a generator is necessary when you live in a more rural setting. Especially when gas prices go through the roof. I purchased the Sidekick and as soon as it arrived I unpacked it and plugged it into a lamp and left it plugged in all evening. I was impressed how little it took from the battery! After 3 hours the Sidekick was still at 98% fully charged. I'm looking forward to having two Sidekicks!" Frank S. "We have been looking for quite a while for something like this. The deal with the solar panels included was something not to pass up! We both have sleep apnea and use c/bipap machines for sleep. The power went out recently and the sidekick worked great. As a test we ran the Sidekick on the humidifier and it ran about 7 hours! It's a small humidifier. That's not bad for that type of application. Cannot wait till camping season comes along! We highly recommend this product." [Click here to grab our best-selling Patriot Power Generator and get our Mini Solar Generator for FREE!
