If Democrats lose this fall, repulsion with “dirty politics” may be the cause – more than inflation, crime, drug deaths, open borders, Afghanistan, China, and arrogance. They corrupted the 2016 campaign – we now know from the recent trial – feeding false stories to the FBI, allowed corrupt FBI leaders and media to push a two-year investigation, pushed lawless impeachments (no due process), and allowed a vice president to ink deals with China and Ukraine, and now have raided Trump’s home.
But sometimes a pebble tips the balance, creates the avalanche. That pebble – if the avalanche is not already in motion – may be the student loan forgiveness vote buying scheme. Hint: People know.
At a time when Democrats spent $3 trillion over normal spending, inflation doubled in 20 months (gas up $1.98 to $3.88), homicides hit records as police get down-funded, two million illegals in since early 2021, 100,000 allies left to die in Afghanistan, and fossil energy being shut down, people are mad.
Now, Democrats have the gall to hit America’s struggling middle class – which suffered bankruptcies and layoffs from COVID shutdowns, is barely making it with new inflation, h interest, discrimination for refusing vaccines, attacks on their religion, and who hate Marxism and racism in schools. They are in no mood for more taxes – to pay for $300,000,000,000 in “free money” – some say $500 billion – for those earning up to $125,0000. The idea is outrageous, another abuse of power.
Money does not grow on trees. It comes from somewhere. Where does it come from? Working Americans, the private sector, the job and wealth creators, NOT Government, not Congress, not a failing former US Senator who earned $29 million dollars from working Americans – now president. As Governor DeSantis notes, mass loan forgiveness misunderstands the issue.
So, what is the issue with massive student loan forgiveness? Just this: The money does not exist. Moreover, personal debts – assumed in good faith, rewarded by education – should be repaid. That is how debt works – with honor. The nation has $30 trillion in debt, and giveaways push dependence.
It is worse. Working Americans have other debts, medical bills, mortgages, home equity loans, business and car loans, credit cards, and like. Political giveaways burden people in debt with more votes!
Getting down to brass tacks, this is not the Federal Government’s money to give away. Democrats are trying to right their sinking political ship. People know. They see Democrats trying to buy votes as midterm polls tip against them. How? With your money. Even many younger people resent the pitch.
This is nothing more than another shameless “Rube Goldberg” or “kiting” scheme, giveaways now to a few for seats in Congress, to be paid by a duped middle class who then pays for the giveaways. The idea has even been called illegal by some Democrats, although – with polls down – no one objects now.
The idea is to give out money now and tax later – adding administrative costs, or federal skimming. To make matters worse – more transparently offensive – as these middle-class taxes rise, along with inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and insecurity – Democrats hire 87,000 new (armed) IRS agents. Can you think of a more scary, anti-free market, anti-freedom, anti-American plan?
So, here is what this brilliant “student loan forgiveness” plan – forgets. Americans are not fools, even young Americans. They know the game. They know this is another abuse of power. They are sick of it. Polls show their view of Biden.
Beyond recent graduates, an estimated 70 percent of those who finished college have debt, and for more than 60 years, they have paid it off. With two million college degrees conferred annually and student loans back to 1965, 130 million Americans took out loans, and paid them back. Think what this means.
When Biden says, “Free money, come get it, vote for me,” the unspoken is this: “Sorry, the rest of you missed the boat, foolishly paid your loans, now have others to pay, but YOU are now paying for this.” Are we fools?
If you were looking for just the right pebble to tip the balance, really tick off Americans, assure an avalanche, you could not find a better one than socking it to average people, forcing on them more debt to pay for a cynical scheme to buying young votes. Most Americans detest this kind of crass, classless chicanery, and we have a name for it, dirty politics.
This guy sure is wasteful with the taxpayers money! Of course when it’s someone else’s money it is easy to do that. This terrible move should wake taxpayer citizens up that this guy has a “pen and a phone.” Doesn’t that sound familiar?
Great article!
To top it off, it’s an unconstitutional move by the President. Via our Constitution, we the people grant Congress the power to make federal spending decisions, not the President. Any law which opposes our Constitution is unconstitutional. Period. So, Biden may have the right to modify payment plans, but no matter what Bush signed into law, Biden does NOT have the right to use our tax money to forgive student loans. Constitutional lawyers are weighing in and I’m hopeful they’re strong enough to push this to the Supreme Court.
The deceptive backdrop of forgiving student debt is not just catering to provide fiscal relief to the students so involved. The schools (Colleges, etc.) have made out like bandits financially. The whole scheme amounts to paying off institutions … especially ones that know they are expected to give some level of political backing/support to the Liberal Learning DemocRat Party to max their power and influence in further ingraining Communism as a displacement to a Constitutional Democracy is a disguised way. Wake up!!!! It is the learning insitutions and and staffs/personnel that are the brig profiters from the giveaway to student loans.
Right, look at how the people of Massachusetts buried their head in the sand for decades over Teddy Kennedy, IF any of us had done what he did, we would be in prison! Not him, they kept him in there for 40 years after he left a woman in his submerged car to die!
The opening sentence: “If Democrats lose this fall” is so stupid! . . . Why would they lose? . . . Name 1 Republican candidate or serving Representative or Senator who are calling these so-called Democrats what they REALLY ARE? . . . COMMUNISTS!
It is my understanding that when a debt is forgiven, the IRS looks at it as INCOME to the person receiving the “forgiveness” in the year they receive that forgiveness. Sure going to be a BIG SHOCK next April 15th when these folks go to file their taxes. SURPRISE! Every one of them will have to come up with several thousands of dollars more to pay their tax bills.
So, in the meantime, everyone receiving student debt forgiveness should just bend over, grab their heels, and hold their breath, and just wait for President Buydung to slip them all a wimpy noodle!
“DANGER SARCASM – NOT FOR THE WEAK, IGNORANT, OR STUPID EXPOSURE TO REALITY IS DANGEROUS.” “While We” that were screaming from the rooftops about a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT and were called CONSPIRACY THEORISTS tried to warn you, WE were ridiculed and laughed and demonized. I spit in your faces. Don’t say “I didn’t know” WE were the CANARY IN THE COAL MINE and were condemned and scoffed at. Next ” I didn’t know” is, “COVID SHUT DOWNS WERE TO DESTROY THE MIDDLE CLASS”. Continue laughing and scoff at us as we raise the red flag of danger. SHUTDOWNS WERE NEVER ABOUT COVID BUT INSTILLING FALSE FEAR Why close Restaurants, Gyms, Small businesses, and Churches? To take away what people enjoy, to destroy clean addictions, to separate us from GOD, AND TO DESTROY THE MIDDLE CLASS!! WE NEED DESPENCERIES, BARS, and PHARMACIES OTHERWISE HOW WILL WE BE SEDATE OUR SELVES AND BE GOOD LITTLE MINIONS? Please save us,”THE GREAT AND MIGHTY ALL POWERFUL OZ”. Please don’t sell me seeds, and gardening items, please don’t sale me paint, brushes, and things to upgrade my house, please don’t sell me Fishing Equipment, Boats, and Hunting Equipment so I can safely be outside with my family it’s not like the SUN IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT. I want to stay in my home with my DRUGS, ALCOHOL, and the COVID VIRUS and infect my family, and so I can continue to follow the road of DEPRESSION, AND DESPAIR all the way to suicide there isn’t a GOD anyway. All the people should be able to die “WITH COVID” not “FROM COVID”. “Thankfully ” THE GREAT AND MIGHTY ALL POWERFUL OZ” WILL STILL LET ME BUY A ROPE SO I CAN DANGLE WITH OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE TO JUMP FROM THE ROOF OF MY 1 STORY 4000 SQ. FT. HOME. Oh, wait I lost that because I was given $1000 a week to stay locked up in my home and didn’t have to pay my mortgage or rent and lost it so I could be rewarded with homelessness. Well, at least we have “THE GREAT AND MIGHTY ALL POWERFUL OZes” to give us mail order supplies so BOZOS, SCOROZS, AND WALTONZOS can they can get closer to the TRILLION dead presidents they so rightly deserve while I walk toward financial ruin. All the small people should die “YOU KNOW THEY ARE ALL JUST A WASTE OF OXYGEN. YOU KNOW – DEPLORABLES. HILLARY IS SO INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL. AND “THE GREAT AND MIGHTY ALL POWERFUL OZ” is our savior. Soon our dream will be realized and our ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL EMBRACE US WITH WHAT WE REALLY WANT – TYRANTS TO CONTROL OUR LIVES AND SQUASH FREE THOUGHT. FREEDOM IS JUST TOO DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE, WE NEED THAT WHAT WE DESERVE. A RETURN TO NORMALCY AND GET A DESPOT THAT WANTS TO QUASH THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE SOVEREIGN POPULATION AND THAT PESKY FREEDOM OF SPEECH. PEOPLE JUST DONT UNDERSTAND ” THEY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO CONTROL THEIR OWN LIVES” FORTUNATELY, THE DEMONCRATES ARE HERE TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY WILL DO EVEN IF THEY DONT LIKE IT. WELL ENOUGH SMALL TALK, ANYONE FOR STOMPING OUR FOOT ON THE NECK OF THOSE FASCISTS “CONSERVATIVES”. THEY WILL BE HAPPY WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND THE ERROR OF THEIR WAY. WELL LET’S GET OUR ANTIFA BUDDYS, AND A BUNCH OF LARGE ROCKS SO WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED TO DO AN “ANDY NGO” ON THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY “LOVE FREEDOM” WE WILL GIVE THEM THE FREEDOM THEY DESERVE. OH, ALMOST FORGOT THE BAGS AND THE IDENTITY TAGS (LAUGHING) GOT TO TAG AND BAG THOSE DEPLORABLE. REMEMBER THE TAGS ON THE RIGHT TOES BEFORE YOU ZIP UP THE BAGS. NEED TO REMEMBER WHO WERE REMOVED FROM THE LIST. BEFORE LONG WE WILL BE DONE WITH THE “FINAL SOLUTION” AND THEN IT WILL BE TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE NIGHT “THE NIGHT OF LONG KNIVES” AND WE WILL BE DONE WITH THE FREEDOM LOVERS AND THE PESKY ANTIFA DUPS. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE SOME BROWN SHIRTS AROUND TO BLAME AFTER A HARD DAY OF FREEDOM KILLING. WELL, LETS GET BUSY THE FREEDOM LOVES WILL NOT KILL THEMSELVES. IF THEY ONLY WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN VACCINATED AND LET THAT DO THE VACCINE DIRTY WORK WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO.
Where has the smart idea of term limits been buried. The need is more than ever .
Think of the 3 branches of government as a 3 legged stool. Joeblow’s executive branch behaviors have removed one leg from the stool. Need I say more on the status of the stool?
Nancy Pelosi stated a couple of years ago that Congress is the only one that could forgive these loans. How was Biden able to do this & now it looks like it is almost $1 Trillion. Also how did Trump pass the 2016 tax cuts thru 2025 without going thru congress. What gives the POTUS such power with our tax dollars?
‘here’s the deal with these corrupt dems. people who are dumb will always vote for dumbness so you won’t change their views. they can never see that the dums are just plain evil. everything that is negative or unlawful these morons love! so what we common sense, good true Americans have to do, is focus on getting people who are swayed by bidens hypocriical ways, to see the lite – there may be hope for them but not the die hard dumb who lack common sense!. i guess the supporters are just proud that we have millions of illegals, sex traffickers, drug dealers, rapes, coming across the border, they are proud that we good Americans have to pay for them to house and feed them etc. mean while we will be paying for people who chose to go to college and are now free from any responsibility. i am a senior citizens and i need help with my bills. where is my help. i have paid my dues and am damn sick of this nonsense – why isn’t anyone taking biden out. he doesn’t deserve to be walking around ruining this country – non of these dumos do.
The key factor in Socialism is the redistribution of money from those who work for it to those who make poor decisions in life. Having working Americans forced to pay for bad decisions of those from more affluent families is worse.
