It's pretty obvious to me that the Biden Student Loan Handout is a midterm Hail Mary. With a 40 percent approval rating, why wouldn't the president throw some free stuff at the gender studies graduate vote? What has he got to lose?
Notice that I said: "what has he got to lose." I didn't say: what has the average American got to lose by adding $300 billion to $1 trillion to the national debt?
It helps me understand how the Peronistas wrecked Argentina, and the Chávezistas wrecked Venezuela. When your policies have wrecked the economy, why not double down, throw money at your supporters, and call your opponents names?
Let's leave aside the economic debacle of the 1930s where FDR's famous Brain Trust failed to recover the U.S. economy from the Great Depression with their New Deal and FDR blamed it all on "economic royalists."
Let's start with the Sixties, when Democrats passed the Civil Rights Acts (with Republican support) and then the big spending programs of the Great Society. If you were a Democrat in those years you knew that Democrats had cracked the code to justice and prosperity and would rule for a hundred years. But something went wrong.
How could it be that blacks did not shoot into the stratosphere, and that the 1970s would be the decade of stagflation and the end of the big-union industrial economy?
And how come, with the great feminist movement and careers for women and the Pill and no-fault divorce and Roe v. Wade, that women did not live happily ever after?

Just what we need, an easier path to a Gender Studies degree.
I’m still fuming over our billions to the Ukraine.
Expect More Republican Cowardice in Response to Demonicrat Criminality

and i might add persecute your political opponent
There are some in the GOP-elected and new candidates, at the state and federal level, who are fighting. It lacks leadership among its elected officials. Compare how Newt acted in the run up to ‘94 election versus the Turtle and McCarthy today.
How many trillions can Nancy spend in 120 days? We’re about to find out.
I’d also blame the voters who put a demented old fool in the top leadership position in the country/world.
....what was it that Steve Hilton said last Sunday evening..? we may be looking at a Red Ripple in the midterms rather than the supposed Red Tsunami or whatever the rose-colored glasses wearers are saying....leave it up to the Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory....
Is this another “Catholic Only” thread?

Part of the problem with the article is that the author calls the people who have been destroying the US culture and its institutions “[Demonkkrap] friends”. While he enumerates some of their failures, their common use of scapegoating, and unmentioned the use of lies, slander, libel, violence, high tech censorship, and unequal treatment under the law for its political enemies ...one would think after 100 years of this ... calling these anti-Americans “friends” or “Democratic” is no longer applicable - and maybe part of the problem. We are beyond a difference of political opinions and shared common values.
“ I’d also blame the voters who put a demented old fool in the top leadership position in the country/world”
Could be worse. He could put out mean tweets at night. (/s)
There’s a dem governor candidate in Ohio who’s running on a promise of inflation rebate checks.
That was a great comparison of all of The Left’s failures and their attempts to blame others for those programs failings.
Over and over and over again like the same tune, but a different beat.
And it’s still the same old tune.
I don’t believe it was the voters.
Biden will be dead within 5 years. He won’t have to live with the consequences of anything he does.
Democrats better beware the pi$$ed-off taxpayer.
WRONG!
Republicans passed the 'Civil Rights Act' with LITTLE Democrat support.
LBJ was under considerable Pressure, from DEMOCRATS, NOT TO SIGN IT.
Any course or degree that contains the word “studies” is better described as a “Grievance Studies” course or degree ... because that’s really what it is.
He had that vote already…rats are tilting at windmills…if election was honest rats would all be thrown out…who in their right mind votes for their own demise?…
