Self-serving politicians are easy to spot. They’re different from the actual public servants like Donald Trump, Rand Paul, and Marjorie Taylor Greene who gave up so much in order to do what’s best for the country. Self-serving politicians tilt policies to benefit themselves, their families, and the cronies who help to keep them in power.
Many have equated “The Squad” to being the radical progressive version of the ideologues; they may be wrong in their Neo-Marxist perspectives, but at least they’re supposed to be true believers in their cause. Yet time and again, we’ve seen contradictions to this notion. Squad members have universally called to defund police and promote gun control while maintaining expensive personal security that their constituents could never afford. They complain about the rich while voting for their own pay raises. Now, there’s a more direct example of how their proposed policies would help them personally.
According to a report from the NY Post, most members of The Squad are deep in student debt just as they call for the Biden regime to eliminate it for them:
Many of the woke politicians who have pushed for student-loan cancellation are themselves hip-deep in school debt, federal records reviewed by The Post show.
Most members of “The Squad” — the coterie of socialist legislators led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — fall into this category. Collectively, they owe between $180,004 and $400,000 in student loans, the records show.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had a balance of between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loans as of 2020, according to her most recent personal financial disclosure. Despite her $174,000 annual salary, the economics major hasn’t paid off her balance, despite a zero percent interest rate and no payments due since March 2020.

“This is a result of sending morons to college who have NO BUSINESS BEING THERE. Like the military, college isn’t for everybody, IMHO. Rather than spend all their Head Start years trying to determine their “gender”, kids should be seriously thinking what they want to do with their lives when mom and dad saw off their end of the dinner table.”
The Deans and most professors at many of our colleges have a couple of big scams going for them.
#1 Everyone should go to college!
#2 Don’t worry about getting a degree that will enable you to get a job after your graduation.
#3 Get a masters and maybe a PhD in the same Instant Unemployment Degree (IUD!). Then, you can be a great professor and teach the same B$ using your former students with their worthless degrees as TA’s or assistant professors.
#4 Create and expand the student loan B$ with minimal or no repayment to pay for #1, 2 and 3 above.
Then, keep repeating #1-4 from above for your sons and daughters and grand kids.
So AOC can drive a $60k Tesla but can’t afford to pay her student loan ..... here comes the waaaambluance.
“It takes women an average of 2 years longer to pay off their student loans despite making higher payments.”
This only makes sense if women are taking out bigger loans.
YOU nailed it. Well said. The truth too.
The reason they want to cancel all student debt (i.e., "give away massive amounts of free taxpayer money to students across the country") is to secure more votes to keep them in office, in big-money positions, in power, and also to continue devaluing the dollar, reducing Americans' spending power, making Americans more desperate, more dependent, and thus demanding the socialist "government" please help them with even more new spending programs ... which of course leads them to vote for more and more far-left Democrat/RINO politicians (who liberally promise even more wasteful spending programs) ... Shampoo, rinse, repeat ... a vicious never-ending cycle ...
So right you are, they are also doing everything they can to destroy the middle class.
You can with certainty know there’s a huge kickback for anyone or group that’s pushing this on the taxpayers.....including the squad.
