Elizabeth Warren points out Mitch McConnell graduated from a school that cost $330 a year amid his criticisms of Biden's student-loan forgiveness: 'He can spare us the lectures on fairness'

Republican lawmakers have been quick to slam President Joe Biden's recent student-loan forgiveness announcement — and Democrats aren't letting it slide.

On Wednesday, Biden announced up to $20,000 in student-loan forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients making under $125,000 a year, and $10,000 for other federal borrowers within the same income cap. While this was a long-awaited policy that many Democrats were waiting for the president to implement, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was not thrilled with the expansive relief.

Yeah, but 107 years ago when that happened, $330 was worth something.

Warren LIED about her ethnicity to get financial benefits.
She truly should be prosecuted for what she did

Look who’s doing the war dance! The ho that got paid $400,000 a year to teach one glass. Fauxcahontas needs to STFU. She’s one of the reasons Snowflakes can’t pay off their absurd college tuition loans.

Actually parents can’t even afford the instate public colleges either. They are now $15k/year tuition. That times 4 years of room and board (also $15k/yr) is $120k per child or for 4 kids (as I have) a half million dollars. Who can save up for that? Not many.

Mitch McConnell is the biggest threat to our republic. A bigger threat than Biden, Pelosi, Obama, ... anyone.

Do not defend this man no matter how unfair the accusations may seem. He does not deserve it

And those were Confederate dollars!

Seriously: If I purchased an automobile for, say, $330, am I somehow then magically deprived of the right to criticize someone who purchased a car for $250,000, and is now demanding loan relief?

If I buy a hamburger for $3, can I no longer chide someone who ordered a five-course meal with champagne for $600, and is now refusing to pay the bill?

Warren's understanding of the concept of "fairness" is ass-backwards.

Re: What is Business Insider?

It was created by Henry Blodget, who may have been the most quoted Internet investor in the world during the dot.com boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Blodget was so successful at destroying other peoples money he was permanently banned from working in the USA securities industry.

No problem - he created a website that REPORTED on the securities industry.

BI was so successful as a politically Left general news website it was purchased by a major German-American digital publisher.

In recent years, Business Insider (aka Insider) has become a 24-7 political attack dog against Trump and USA Conservatives.

MSN.com is so infatuated with BI they post several BI headlines or stories every day!

I would expect a guy like Mitch to shell out plenty for education.

If kolleges didn’t pay incompetents, liars, and fake Indians so much to be professors they wouldn’t have to charge students so much for their gender studies degrees.

'He can spare us the lectures on fairness'

I'm sure all the people who believe that Warren kept them from getting that coveted Harvard minority position have something to say about "fairness."

Little White Dover Warren was a major proponent of loan forgiveness. The first polls on the scam will be out in about a week. Them we’ll see what Brandon says.

The argument that the student loan system is broken is laughable. Obama broke it by making it a government monopoly.

When Mitch McConnell needed a tooth pulled, the barber only charged him 2 bits. Was that fair?

That was back before the government was financing college educations to the extreme extent that they are now. Furthermore, the so-called elite or first tier colleges are grossly overpriced. Once accepted, however, it is your ticket to the “big dance” and you become one of the “good old boys”. We need to stop voting for the Elites!
