The SBA is one of the smallest federal government agencies. How is it supposed to handle a Department of Education program with over 40 million borrowers and over 1.5 trillion in loans? It can't. Clearly, neither Trump nor Secretary McMahon see a federal role in education because they're just moving programs without figuring out how these programs are even going to be continued. In fact, that is not their intention. Their intention is to get rid of the U.S. department of Education, and they can't do that because only Congress can do that. (09:51–10:03)
