If you are going to lie by omission, better you were silent. Although you could be getting your lies by omission from Faux News, the mouth of the Elephant party. The Elephants want to offset lost interest by eliminating funding for part of the new health care provisions -a sleazy way of repealing them, while the dems want to close tax dodges.
Nancy Pelosi upon taking the gavel said: “Impeachment is off the table”. She said it, because she KNEW there was NO WAY they could get articles out of the House and to the Senate because she wouldn’t get the required votes. She SHOULD have brought articles forward anyway, so that at least some of the criminal activity would have been exposed to Congress, and the Public!! It WAS her worst moment as Speaker.
…and remember how Democrats in Congress blocked ANY oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mack, and how these GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED lenders triggered the bubble bursting? Yeah, didn’t think that you would…
That’s a dodge, Eryx. The facts are that the very economic crash that’s blamed upon Bush came about through Democrat collusion with Fannie and Freddie. Also, what about the predatory so-called “institutions of higher learning,” whose costs are so ridiculously high in the first place. The bubble is from the cost of education, not the amount that is being loaned, JUST as it was with the real estate bubble.
Why they are called “bubbles” in the first place: because the cost of something is far over-valued, as in a real estate market, that will eventually fall, or “burst.” The loaning institutions are not causing universities to over-price the cost of an eduction, they are merely providing the money to attend. Why you lefties are putting all of the blame for student debt on LOANERS is, frankly, idiotic.
There must be a cheaper way to get a degree. One that’s cheap and yet respectable. The price of just the College textbooks is not reasonable.The student loan is a terrible burden that most can’t pay back. I’m not sure why any one would agree to the lop sided-deals. Yes, I blame the lenders. There have been enough different circumstances, that a graduate can NOT make enough to pay them off. The wealth of the 1% is equal to 40% of all the rest of the US. THe income for the remaining 99$ has not gone up, it has actually gone down. Companies that used to give raises every year or so is now put directly into the pockets of the 1% OWNER ELITE. When have you gotten a raise lately?
Like it has been pointed out, the repugicans held filibuster and otherwise were able to make sure nothing got done.After all, their number 1 priority was to do 1 everything they could to make him a 1 term president! And this was BEfore he even took office.
