On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” host Stephanie Ruhle responded to accusations from Republicans that President Joe Biden is trying to buy votes with his student loan plans by saying, “isn’t this just how politics works? Fulfilling campaign promises to certain groups.” And by arguing that 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and other Republicans do the same thing by letting people keep more of their own money by cutting taxes.

Ruhle sounds similar to Janet Yellen regarding a 'loan' to Ukraine using frozen Russian assets.
If I recall correctly the Trump tax cuts expire in 2025 or 2026? The next president in Congress will have to deal with that. Allowing those tax cuts to expire will have the effect of being a tax increase on the American people.
Who are the bigger morons, the ones who say it or the one who believe it?
Rhule is an idiot. My money is mine by RIGHT, not by permission of the government.
How incredibly stupid these people are.
Keeping your own money is a bribe?
With such stupid women in substantial positions in the liberal media, you have to assume they slept their way to the top.
Is dhe auritioning for White House press secretary?
I’d like to know why Congress, Republicans, and the states have not been back in court to stop Biden’s repeated giveaways despite court rulings.
Wealth transfers from the productive to the unproductive will always lower productivity and result in less net wealth for a society.
Bidens approach will always result in less net wealth for our society. The Republicans approach will always lead to relatively more net wealth for our society.
All money belongs to the gummit.
It’s good when communists out themselves and say out loud what the Leftists all believe: Everything belongs to the collective People writ large. The People writ large create all wealth collectively. (Obama: “You didn’t build that.”) Individuals get to keep some small amount if the People’s Commissars think that is in the People’s collective interest.
Unfortunately the founders did not list a right to private property in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Had they done so much of the progress the left has enjoyed infringing on property rights over the past 100 years would have been avoided.
Whatever you call them - leftists, communists, socialists, collectivists, progressives — they sincerely believe the central government is supreme to the individual. Rights and privileges are doled out to citizens by government. In addition, while they never overtly admit it, progressives believe the product of the work of citizens (i.e. their incomes) is the property of the state. Through the tax system the state determines how much of the income of the individual citizen the citizen will be allowed to keep. Essentially collectivism assumes the individual is a slave to the state.
We form governments to insure and protect freedom that is already inherently ours.
I sometimes forget that people can really be THAT stupid. Her statement was a fresh reminder.
Biden is using the money of taxpayers who didn’t take out student loans to pay off other people’s debts.
Even though SCOTUS ruled:
“The Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for millions of borrowers.”
What are Republicans doing about it?
Biden buying votes by paying off loans with other people money. Trump letting people keep their OWN money.... Even they must see the difference.
Pretty sure they do.
I looked up this bimbo’s bio on wikihahahapedia. She worked in the “real world” for more than a decade ... she knows better than the fecal material she’s peddling.
Let me withdraw $100k from my IRA-tax free. 2 can play this game.
The ones who believe it. The ones who say it are smart enough to know how stupid the people are.
So, when we have the Presidency and both houses back, make that a priority amendment.
That will force the hands of those who oppose it to disclose their position.
