Now We Know Why “The Squad” Is So Adamant About Canceling Student Debt

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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.

Women want it because they have massive student loans they have no hope of paying back because most of their degrees are effectively worthless.

And guys who make more than them, are not lining up to marry them and assume their monstrous debt.

Hence another reason for the shaming of men who dont “step up” and save a woman from her poor, voluntary choices.

[Bayard]

They can’t be bothered to pay their loans back, you peasants think the rich pay their debts?

They’ve made plenty in bribe money, its not about debt, its being bothered to pay back like a pleabian.

Progressives are always all about one thing.

You forgot Obama and the Clintons

>>They can’t be bothered to pay their loans back, you peasants think the rich pay their debts?<<

You mean those who got rich through politics.

And they frequently don’t pay they taxes either.

The statistic I hear most often quoted is that women are responsible for 85% of student debt.

[Bullish]

Yhay s a lot to pay for the worthless educations they got.

[gw-ington]

Has nothing to do with their own personal debt. Those far-left Democrat politicians are making fortunes off their political careers, so paying off their student debt is a piece of cake (they'll get to it when they get to it).

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 ...

to prop up the “social studies” and communist indoctrination in the universities. Enrollment is dropping, being propped up by foreign students. (more visa crap)

[bigbob]

Or elites like the Clintoons? No more than they should have to pay for their drinks or ice-cream cones!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

In America, politicians and government employees serve no purpose whatsoever except to enrich themselves using the labor of the peasants.

The smartest thing any man thinking about marriage can do is to pay for a background check AND a credit check on the prospective partner.

This poll actually had slightly more men than women supporting SL debt forgiveness (even though more women than men reported having SL debt):
