Burlington College Feels the Bern! Will Close Thanks to Crushing Debt Acquired by Mrs. Bernie Sanders

One of the reasons Bernie Sanders is doing well with Millennials is because he’s promising free college for everyone.

In an ultimate twist of irony, his wife Jane Sanders was president of Burlington College in Vermont and racked up such large debts for the small school that she led it to ruin. sanders wife

Burlington College announced today it will close after it was unable to recover from the crushing debt incurred under during Jane Sanders’ tenure as president of the institution. Heat Street reported:

“Burlington College announced today that it will close on May 27 after it found itself unable to recover from “the crushing weight of the debt” incurred under Jane O’Meara Sanders, the college’s former president and wife of Bernie Sanders.

FWIR, Jane Sanders joined the delusional, one-size-fits-all approach of school presidents at the time "If You Build It, The Alumni Will Donate".

The progressive trickery of calling any and all spending, "investments", regardless of the ROI to the school or students. Naturally, each school president probably benefited personally, as well as the "trustees" agreeing to waste, I'm sure.

To avoid confusion she should be referenced as Comrade (Jane) Sanders so as not to be confused with Comrade (Blockhead Bernie) Sanders!

Great post!  What justice: Bernie and Jane -- friends of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao -- have totally destroyed a lovely New England college.

But not to worry happy graduates.  No need to get a doctorate in astrophysics.  All the knowledge you need is contained in one little red book!  Look at how far it's taken Bernie!

Such a marvelous equality is realized in a society where everyone takes from the rich and gives to the poor.   The Robin Hoods steal from the Robin Hoods till nobody needs to go to college anyway.  Get your hunting rifles, washing boards, berry baskets, maple syrup buckets, and axes so you can live comfortably in the (mild climate) Burlington, Vermont forest.

If you want to read more of my foolishness, I posted a vanity: Bernie's Youth Brigade and China's Cultural Revolution.

“Any college that goes broke today with unlimited federal lending, should be laughed out of America.”

Isn’t this why they want free college to continue their chow down on the government trough?
