So the President can change the tax code?

Seems like Congress has some say on ‘tax loopholes’ regarding inheritance, capital gains, and income taxes?

How the Hell does he get away with it? Why doesn’t another branch call him out on these outrageous actions and infringements? All we get are a couple of mealy-mouthed responses and then it fades away after a day or two.

What infuriates me is this whole problem with leftist-run universities tripling their prices in 30 years all because their students can get “free” money from the government. If there were no student loans at all, then higher education would be affordable, just like it used to be. As soon as you get the damned government involved, everything turns to sh!t. Just like health care — “free” care makes it totally unaffordable.

We scrimped to get our kids through college and they came out with very small loans they can pay off in short order. To this day, my wife drives a 17 year old Explorer we bought new. We would’ve loved to have bought a new car somewhere along the line, but we planned for our kid’s futures instead. I just love being played for a sucker by government.

Yes, so why don't they speak up?
