As another example of moving programs out of the Department of Education as part of the dismantling of the department. I could not resist this example. So President Trump proposes to move the student loan portfolio to the Small Business Administration, which has neither the capacity nor the expertise needed to handle this massive program. 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?

CLAIM

Asserts that Trump proposes moving the student loan portfolio to the SBA, which lacks capacity and expertise.
