Breitbart ^ | 05/07/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/07/2022 2:10:38 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Democratic strategist and CNN Contributor Paul Begala criticized proposals for President Joe Biden to forgive student loan debt by stating that “Democrats have gone from being the party of the factory floor to being the party of the faculty lounge.” And Democrats should “go back to their roots, which is, earn it.”

Yeah, I thought the little SOB was dead. But just this once he’s right. It certainly isn’t fair to the suckers who dutifully paid off their student loans.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But are the Dems smart enough to take this advice? Nooo...

The forehead is right. But thankfully the Dems won’t listen to him and the Reps will take back the middle class in November. It will be a bloodbath which will make 2016 look like a normal election.

Can't argue with him on his one. Begala is right:
“Democrats have gone from being the party of the factory floor to being the party of the faculty lounge.”

Well he’s right about this. Whatever votes the Dems may win by canceling student loan debt, they are likely to lose from those who paid off their loans. Will anybody ever pay off their student loans in the future, or just stall payments hoping for another debt jubilee? The moral hazard here is so obvious, I can’t believe they are even considering it.

Ya think?
I was about to pay off my daughters student loans last year...
But I sure as heck am not going to if Bidumb is going to.

Depends on what he means… Probably some bogus community service type thing being a liberal activist.

The way you “earn debt-relief” is by paying it off, Forehead.

“Democrats have gone from being the party of the factory floor to being the party of the faculty lounge.”

That phrase is so very true. Dems have morphed into an elite ruling class.

“Democrats have gone from being the party of the factory floor to being the party of the faculty lounge.”

This has been in the works since at least the 60’s, when patriotic union members clashed with Vietnam war protesters.

“””Democratic strategist and CNN Contributor Paul Begala”””


Sounds like Begala is counting the votes and it does not look good for the Democrat Socialists.

I paid mine off.

Made it a priority and double and tripled the payments to get it off my back sooner.

We spend more on illegal aliens and give them $65,000 each and even say we should give them $4550,000, but I didn’t see this idiot remarking on that.

“””It will also piss off thousands of us that PAID OFF our student loans!”””


Though it is probably the case that those who paid off their student loans are very much supportive of MAGA already.
