Joe Biden, his Administration, and The Federal Reserve are really “The Alligator People.” Despite what they tell you, they have small brains (particularly Biden) and are hyperfocused on spending. A good example comes from “Wall Street On Parade” where they show that The Federal Reserve is still paying BILLIONS to US Treasury in the form of remittances (losses). While at the same time, paying the mega banks on Wall Street high interest loans. As of April 3 of this year, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has racked up $161 billion in accumulated losses. We’re not talking about unrealized losses on the...

President Joe Biden will announce Monday that student debt held by ten million Americans will transfer to taxpayers, White House officials told reporters Monday. The plan to convey student loan debt to taxpayers is widely seen as a political move to gain electoral traction among young voters, who largely do not approve of Biden’s leadership. Taxpayers can expect to absorb about $5,000 for each of the ten million students, according to the plan Biden is set to tout in Wisconsin. Overall, Biden intends to cut the amount that 23 million students owe on their loans, placing the burden on taxpayers...

There used to be a saying: "As goes California, so goes the nation." Bear in mind that the first time I remember hearing that the Governor of California was a man named Ronald Reagan, you may have heard of him. These days, we should be terrified at the very idea of California taking its fiscal train-wreck policies on the road. Under the current governor, the impeccably coiffed Gavin Newsom, California has gone from a state with a budget surplus to facing almost $70 billion in debt. Yes, that's "billion" with a "B."That isn't stopping the state of California from coming...

History demonstrates that attempts to “cure” a problem by exceeding the federal government’s constitutional powers generally lead to more and worse problems... “A rage ... for an abolition of debts ... or for any other improper or wicked project ....” — James Madison, Federalist No. 10.. The courts, in the exercise of what is called “equity jurisdiction,” have long excused borrowers from obligations incurred through fraud, duress, and other forms of creditor unfairness.. In addition, federal bankruptcy laws (authorized in the Constitution by Article I, Section 8, Clause 4) offer a path to safety for debtors who get in over...

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that President Joe Biden’s student loan program “is not giving anybody’s money away” because the people who got “forgiveness” “have already paid back” their loans. Clyburn said, “I think we need to explain to people what is going to happen going forward. It’s one thing to eliminate the loan, the debt that’s already been accumulated. What they did yesterday, about 1.5 billion, that’s added on top of the 137 billion that has already been forgiven. Going forward, every two months, for the next four years,...

The White House said Wednesday it is canceling $1.2 billion worth of student loans for some 153,000 people, moving forward with a piecemeal solution to its debt forgiveness pledge after the Supreme Court struck down an earlier scheme to cancel $430 billion. “With today’s announcement, we are once again sending a clear message to borrowers who had low balances: if you’ve been paying for a decade, you’ve done your part, and you deserve relief,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement. “Under President Biden’s leadership, our Administration has now approved loan forgiveness for nearly 3.9 million borrowers, and our...

The Biden administration's latest plan to "cancel" student loan debt extends to those struggling to repay loans due to financial "hardship." The proposal was devised under the Education Department’s existing rulemaking powers after the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s original student loan bailout plan. A number of factors are set forth in the new proposal to determine hardship, “such as a borrower’s total student loan balance and required payments relative to household income, and whether a borrower has high-cost burdens for essential expenses like healthcare or childcare,” the press release states.The current regulatory process builds on the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts...

In the intricate web of financial markets, the tightening of credit spreads often serves as an ominous overture to broader economic shifts. The current scenario, driven by a focus on liquidity, raises concerns about what lies ahead, hinting at potential storm clouds on the economic horizon. The ripple effects begin with a spotlight on auto loans, where many find themselves submerged in financial challenges. A concerning trend emerges as individuals resort to running up credit, not with the intention to repay but rather to navigate the inflated prices of goods. The influx of excessive government money has created a surge...

Tucked into a footnote in a letter written by former federal judge Barbara Jones, the court-appointed special monitor overseeing Donald Trump's New York business fraud case is a bombshell that appears to indicate the former president may have engaged in massive tax evasion, according to a new report released by The Daily Beast. The letter, first reported by The Messenger, was delivered Friday to update Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron on Jones' findings while reviewing the former president's business dealings through his company, the Trump Organization. In it, Jones writes that the financial information filed to her by Trump's...

On Friday, the Biden administration announced they were canceling the loans of another 74,000 student loan borrowers, hiking the total number of people who have gotten their debt canceled to over 3.7 million Americans. The Biden administration has been ignoring the Supreme Court, which struck down Biden’s student loan relief plan last June, because it had not been approved by Congress. The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision resulted from the six conservative justices voting to strike down the plan while the three leftist justices opposed them. The Biden administration had cited the 2003 Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act (HEROES...

Ah, here we go. Just like we thought would happened. Almost like we wrote the script ourselves. And all the excuses the Biden administration put together for absolutely forgiving student loan debt coming to life in one irresponsible package. Of course, when you’ve already got a get-out-of-credit-report-jail-free card handed to you by Crusty Claus and his gang of thieving education elves, whut? You worry? Aw, hell to the nah. 🚩Red flag in student loan payments: 40% missed their payments in October this year, a stark jump from 26% in 2019.
