Sen. Elizabeth Warren should focus on the job she was elected to do
The Lowell Sun ^ | 11-16-2020 | Editorial

The left wing of the Democratic party is already openly pushing President-elect Joe Biden toward controversial progressive wish-list policy items rather than the pressing needs of the American people during an unprecedented public health and economic crisis.

Elizabeth Warren tweeted last Thursday that upon taking office “Biden-Harris can cancel billions of dollars in student loan debt, giving tens of millions of Americans an immediate financial boost and helping to close the racial wealth gap. This is the single most effective executive action available for a massive economic stimulus.”

Rather than reaching across the aisle to craft an equitable, bipartisan stimulus bill, for example, Warren is choosing once again to promote divisive political priorities that pit Americans against each other.

Fair economic stimulus payments, shoring up unemployment during the pandemic, and keeping small businesses afloat should be areas of collaboration for all senators, no matter their political affiliation. For too long, Democrats have used President Trump as an excuse for the division in Washington, D.C., and failed to act to meet the needs of people who are struggling during this unprecedented period in American history.

With Trump soon to leave town, it is time for Sen. Warren and other congressional Democrats to set aside their partisan agenda items and get back to work.

lol. she’s been trying to better-deal the poor saps that elected her to the senate since the day after she was elected.

“dump the dumbasses that voted for me? I’ve got a plan for that.”

The fact anyone could think this makes a bit of sense is remarkable.

If a college education was worth what it once was, there would not be a so-called "student loan crisis." If you are not making enough money to pay your student loans, your college education did not give you a good return on investment. Therefore, as taxpayers, we should certainly not be investing more in something which does not yield an equal or greater benefit to the cost.

That should read, “With President Donald J Trump..”
Where is he going?
The Democrats invented “division,” long ago. They perfected it with the Kenyan Usurper only too happy to push racism as the divider of the country.
That has been the Dem’s biggest success. Now, they have “OFA,” and “BLM,” and “antifa” to do their dirty work.
Stay tuned, you will see them in “Action,” the “A” in “OFA.”
War is a nasty thing.

“War is a nasty thing.”

Especially if only one side is really fighting.

Once again, the GOP has been playing checkers while the democrats were playing chess. Their plan to place Soros trained politicians in the SOS office in every state has been operating since 2010 at least. Now we see the results of that with rampant fraud and cheating that they’re getting away with.

Add that to the fact that the Swamp will not allow Trump to win re-election, and it’s obviously futile. We’re outnumbered, and the mob wants socialism. It’ll destroy America eventually but they apparently don’t GAF. Trump was our last conservative president I’m afraid, and it’s all downhill from here for our country with these ppl in power.

How exactly does this help the guys and gals who paid for their education and started a small business that now is going belly up because of COVID. Outrageous.
