Punish those who are hardworking and pay their debts.
Reward those who don’t work and squander their money rather than pay what they owe.

Just like Federal higher education financial aid.

Punish savers and reward debtors.

I’ve told this story before, but here goes.

Twin daughters in grade school (4th grade?), different classrooms. One daughter comes home and talks about how the teacher placed a bunch of pennies around the room and they all went to find them. Some kids found 3 or 4 and some kids found 1 or 2.

The teacher asked them if that was fair or not, and what should they do about it. Well, the kids all put their heads together and they decided to split it up evenly and give the kids that didn’t have many pennies some of theirs to make it more fair. She was so proud of the fair solution they had come up with on their own. (Fourth grade remember.)

The other daughter comes home a couple of hours later. She was pissed off when she entered the door. “So the teacher made us play this stupid game.... All of the kids wanted to make it fair and to give away the extra pennies. I argued how it wasn’t fair. I was running all over and found 5 pennies. Tom and Johnny were just sitting at a table not doing anything! How is it fair that I have to give them each a penny!!?? It isn’t fair - it just made things equal!! But that’s not fair! I tried and tried to convince them not to do it, but I got out-voted. Well, one boy came over in my defense and changed is vote to no with me.” First daughter has always been compassionate, second daughter has always been a thinker.

Anyway, first daughter thought about it and said “Hey - you’re right, that isn’t fair!”

I told them to go back to their teachers and play that game every day for the rest of the week to see what would happen. They didn’t. (Fourth grade remember) But, we did talk about what would happen.

Daughter one just texted me about this mortgage thing. When she gets done with work I’ll ask her if it reminds her of anything!

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

This is how things work in Biden’s America, that’s for sure.
