The response would be that it makes it useless for people to try to find a job when that runs out beacuse their earnings would go to repaying the loan, leaving them nothing to live on. You cannot win an argument with people who don’t believe in reality other than the reality they perceive in their fantasies.

I love Pelosi’s “welfare checks-create-spending” argument.

As if the Taxpayers’ spending isn’t negatively impacted!

Hearing what these LIB/DIM freaks-of-nature spew, I believe I am visiting a mental asylum.

Cardozo Professor Kate Shaw discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions on DOMA and Proposition 8, and the impact they will have on marriage equality in America.

Before joining Cardozo, Professor Shaw worked in the White House Counsel’s Office as a Special Assistant to the President and Associate Counsel to the President. She clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court and Judge Richard A. Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Mr. Hayes is fairly obsessed with wealth inequality and tends to address the topic at a machine-gun clip. “The core economic fact of America since 1973 is rising, accelerating income inequality, more specifically, in a pattern that confers the largest gains to a smaller and smaller group at the top,” he explained.

At the sight of a nod, he moved on.

“I’m using data from Pikkety and Saez,” he explained, “He won the John Bates Clark medal.”

Nod.

“I call it fractal inequality, because inequality reinscribes itself every level.”

This is not blowhard punditry; Mr. Hayes, an editor-at-large at The Nation, is deep in it right now. On his days off, he works on revisions of his book, due out from Crown Publishing in spring 2012. “The book is about how accelerating inequality has produced dysfunctional elites,” he explained, “which have produced failing institutions and broken the bonds of trust between the people and the leaders of the institutions.”

The son of a retired public school educator and a community organizer turned Department of Health advocacy worker, Mr. Hayes was born and raised in the Bronx. After graduating from Hunter College High School in Manhattan, he attended Brown, where he studied philosophy, wrote and acted in plays and met Kate Shaw, now a law professor and former associate counsel to President Obama. The two wed in 2007.

While Ms. Shaw attended law school at Northwestern, Mr. Hayes landed a fellowship writing for In These Times, a leftist investigative journal. When she began a clerkship in D.C., he got a writing and editing gig at The Nation. There, his eloquence made him seem a natural for cable appearances.

After a run of successful guest spots, including hosting for Rachel Maddow in spring of 2010, MSNBC offered him a network analyst contract. In July 2010, he was among several invited to sub for Ms. Maddow while she was in Afghanistan, in what is now seen as an audition.

After signing his contract, he and Ms. Shaw packed up their Prius and moved to Park Slope. (He now gets around on a bike.)
