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?

> gender studies graduate vote
$500 billion for less than 1% of the population? They’re voting Dem anyway.
Anybody who takes a democrat bribe is as useful as a $2.00 whore.
“I’m still fuming over our billions to the Ukraine.”
Me, too. Stolen elections have consequences. No way on God’s green earth would Trump be dumping borrowed cash into that shiitehole country.
But heck, he wouldn’t have tried to push Ukraine into joining NATO, either—which lit the fuse. Or any new country in NATO.
Trump was anti-NATO, as am I. Long since it’s outlived it’s original mission. Now it’s just a giant slush fund for defense contractors, cushy assignments for ladder climbing officers, and kickbacks to the politicians —of BOTH parties — who vote for all the money. And most of it paid for with IOU’s our grand kids will have to pay—to China!!!
What a cf. I truly despise the warmongers. Forever Wars are the pertpetual vig paid to the Organized Crime family called the Federal Government.
How do congressmen and Generals (and their families, and defense contractors) get so rich? This is how.
Thank you for being 100% RIGHT. Refuse to let error go unnoticed and Uncorrected.
Good on ya!
Great remarks. Thanks. Sometimes I am confused about NATO, which I realize I’ve never clearly understood.
