When the Democrats control the House, the House is the most powerful branch of government, and can do whatever it wants.

When the Democrats control the Presidency, the Executive Branch is the most powerful branch of government, and can do whatever it wants.

Make the Universities erase half of each students outstanding debt.

Leave the tax payers alone.

Universities have already been paid. It’s the lending institutions’ shareholders who are going to get robbed if the phoney Indian gets her way.

So, there’s a poor schmo that just got finished paying off $75k in student loan debt and now all outstanding loans are forgiven.
Is he/she gonna raise hell?? ‘What about Meeee??’

How is this going to work? Lenders aren’t going to magically write down all these loans? Remember how long it took lenders to write off non-performing mortgage loans? Years and years. They couldn’t afford to write them all off at once; otherwise they would all look insolvent.

So, the government (repeat with me now: ‘We’re here to help you’) will have to step in and guarantee/pay off some, if not all, of the debt. This will be a bailout on a high order.

And where will all this forgiveness come from, dear reader? Why, out of the pocket of you and me and every other responsible, law-abiding citizen, that’s who.

Free handouts are only free to the recipient.

Ok so she gets some of the college crowd, if they bother to vote. But just dumped those who may have wondered who will actually pay this passed-on debt.

It’s Elizabeth Warren, staring in PANDERPALOOZA, because by God, if you are soft minded and easily manipulated, she has a hand out for you...

If Democrats can’t earn your vote, then by God they will buy it!!!

On Her First Day in the White House

Why would the re-elected President Trump invite her to the White House?

Given her track record for lying about everything, why would anyone believe her campaign promises?

The people, that's who. Promise people something free and they check their brain at the door.

Plus, it's for the children.

But who is going to lend the money in the future? The government directly?

Do not be too certain that she can’t buy votes with this.

A lot these people owing this debt are going to consider there personal situation whole lot more important than what’s right for the country.

Exactly.

Lots of questions. Where is she getting the funds to pay off the debt? The budget for the current fiscal year has already been approved. Waving a wand by executive Order means zippo. Can't re-purpose defense money. Therefore, in order to forgive debts on the first day, she needs to take money from civil programs. Now that should be interesting. If you think building the wall was hard... Fed courts are going to be very busy issuing injunctions.

It is illegal to pay a couple of your own bucks to buy votes. It is somehow noble, honorable and legal to spend billions of dollars stolen from other people.

I have saved enough for my grandchildren’s college. If Warren is elected I can use it for something else.
