I see she’s back to telling tall tales about their “crushing” student loan debts - wonder if anyone in the media will get curious this time around?
1) If you and Bambi were really as middle class as you claim, you would have gotten tons of aid at Ivy League schools such as Columbia and Princeton. Besides, college tuition was nowhere near as high in the early 1980s, so where did you get such high bills?
2) Did you have any scholarships and if so, from where? Were they academic?
3) Why, if you had so much debt, was there never any student loan interest deductions on your tax returns?
4) If you did go into thousands of dollars of debt to get your law degree at Harvard, why did you suddenly give up you license only four years later?
I imagine any expenses they had for school were paid by someone else. I bet they didn't even have college loans.
They can prove me wrong by showing us the bills.
A normal young couple with “crushing” student loan debts doesn’t have the income to qualify for a mortgage on a $277,000 condo one year after the wedding date. Real struggling couples rent for years to scrape up the down payment and closing costs for a much more modest first home.
Struggling college students work during summers between school years, they don’t have the funds to travel internationally. They also lack the funds for recreational drugs. Most middle class kids go to state universities, not elite and expensive private schools. The truth is, both Michelle and Barack are children of privilege. Real struggle has not been part of their life experience.
