Elizabeth Warren on paying for expensive program: 'C'mon, there's always money...'

Elizabeth Warren has forgotten, if she ever knew, Margaret Thatcher's immortal dictum: "The problem with socialism is that sooner or later, you run out of other people's money." In what ought to be a career-ending slip, facing a friendly questioner, Lily Eskelsen García, president of the National Education Association, her belief in a fantasy world where money can be endlessly spent came out. Watch her brush off concern over funding an expensive education program with the words, "The way I see it, there's always, c'mon, there's always money. It's there."

I’m shocked that there is any shame left in either. Is there? LOL!

That’s what minimum wage increases are all about. Get small businesses to pay for increased wages as a way to buy votes with other peoples money. If the small businesses go out of business, that’s acceptable collateral damage. The democrap party doesn’t care about the consequences when they can blame the businesses and an uneducated public goes, “Yep, it’s those damn capitalists.”

Well my oldest daughter thought that for a brief time way back when. DOH!

Unless your an “undocumented alien” (trespasser to me). Then there is an endless supply of money to take care of them. Social security and medicare.......not so much.

[Old Yeller]

Youcan always print up money so that we’re all trillionaires.

My daughter is not on the city council. LOL!

Zak Lee why I posted this one. LOL!

Especially if you can print as much money as you want and the world will take it. Why because they're worse off than us if the Ponzi scheme collapses? Its bizarre - so in some ways she is right. It doesn't make any sense to me I thought being this many trillions in debt would have had dire consequences by now so what gives? Here is my current - "its all rigged" line of thinking that seems to be emerging - it is probably full of holes.

Perhaps Senator Warren comment offers insight into how this can be true.

1. Foreign Nations want access to US markets
2. Politicians are whores who want to get relected
3. Once elected you get to help allocate however many trillion dollars we spend each year
4. Politicians are whores who want to and seem to get rich during or soon after leaving office
5. There is actual value in the dollar do to geniune economic activity Americans work like two week more then most peoples I seem to recall
6. Various schemes and scams are run but the effect is usually the same - somehow tax payer money, nicely laundered and folded, is funneled to politicians from foreign sources. It'd be interesting to see how much Hunter Biden could get out of Chinese Monastery
7. Because we can direct aid and provide access to markets that all operate in dollars it behooves those on the gravy train to honor our severely (you would think) devalued dollar but yet the dollar is strong as ever
8. Real economic activity is happening because of president Trump's policies but the this whole network was setup long before he arrived on the scene
9. Bitcoin is risky and probably has tainted the worlds flirtation with cryptocurrrency on a large level - Its totally hosing Little Kim's ability to do much to pester any one
10. Outside of gold it seems like we're the only game in town

Break out the tequilla and let's order more paper woohoo sorry grandkids

As for Warren, each and every day she brings more and more shame on both the legal profession and Harvard.

Add Noah Feldman, who lied under oath to the Judiciary committee, and the value of a Harvard Law degree is approaching zero.

Perhaps someone should explain ‘Capital Flight’ to the Princess.

[simpson96]

Not only stupid, but contemptuous of taxpaying citizens.

Voters who say they’re for her? You’re better off keeping them out of your life.

Her candidacy is spinning down the white wishing well, and down into the septic system.

[ProudVet97]

If her father, Chief Broken Rubber was more careful, we’d all be better off!

Faux-Injun not willing to put Wampum Where Mouth IS

They used to beat village idiots with stick to make them not bother normal people.

Lefists destroy things.... Debasing the currency was once a capital crime
