As usual the media and the Democrats, but I repeat myself, are portraying the House Republican bill which lifts the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion as a bill with "big spending cuts"

This is how NPR, who else?, frames the issue from the beginning:

The House of Representatives has narrowly approved a Republican bill to raise the debt limit. However, it ties the ability to raise that debt ceiling to big spending cuts. And this House bill rolls back several of President Biden's key policies.

The House Republican bill, now languishing in the Senate, rolls back spending levels to pre-COVID levels. That's not a spending cut. That's saying, as Biden himself says, the emergency is over.

If the emergency is over, the emergency spending should end, too.

Outlays in fiscal 2020 and 2021 ballooned because of the new pandemic spending. Deficits for just those two years soared to almost $6 trillion. Republicans seek to roll that spending back. Democrats want that spending to form the new baseline. If Democrats succeed, Katy bar the door. The national debt will absolutely explode.

NPR knows this. It just chooses to hide the facts about it all, how the pandemic spending created these massive deficits, and how that spending which flooded the economy with money contributed to the new inflation:

So it raises the debt limit by $1.5 trillion or through March of 2024, whichever comes first. It also sets spending levels for federal programs to those that were in place two years ago. It limits the growth of spending going forward to 1% annually. But as you said, it also targets a list of the president's policies. It repeals the president's student loan forgiveness program, which is tied up in the courts. It claws back unspent COVID relief money and rolls back key energy provisions that were in the Inflation Reduction Act. It also puts in place new work requirements for adults without children who receive federal assistance like food stamps or Medicaid.

Clearly the interest rate beatings will have to continue until stock market morale improves

It's a small point, but the stock market cheerleaders, who are ubiquitous, consistently report year over year inflation as 7.7% when it's 7.8%.

Nothing must get in the way of the narrative, especially convention.

Meanwhile, the inflation regime is a giant wealth transfer scheme from you to them. But student loan forgiveness was the anesthetic to make young skulls full of mush forget on Tuesday.

Joe Biden was going to mask for 10-days after Jill's rebound infection on Wednesday, but the mask was nowhere in evidence at Joe's Thursday campaign event in Maryland


 The on-going COVID-19 emergency which Joe ignores is also the excuse for the $10k student loan bailout even though the Biden administration is arguing that because the COVID-19 emergency is over Trump's Title 42 policy at the border must come to an end.

Got it?

Good.

Biden is breaking the law by canceling student loans, and everybody knows it

A COVID-19 emergency excuse is even less persuasive today than it was when Pelosi last year said Biden doesn't have the authority to cancel the loans.

This will be stopped by the courts, same as Biden's illegal vaccine mandate for the private sector was stopped.

Still waiting, however, for the courts to reverse the illegal deprivation of the former president of access to his own papers. 

So don't hold your breath.

This out of control and senile old man Joe Biden should be impeached and removed from office.

US Department of Education, Office of the General Counsel, January 12, 2021, here:

All federal student loan programs administered by the Department are funded through annual Congressional appropriations drawn from the Treasury. These appropriations are conditioned on the Department’s faithful execution of the laws authorizing that loans be made available to eligible borrowers and then repaid or collected. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 1077a, 1078, 1078-3, 1078-6, 1078-7, 1080, 1080a, 1082, 1083, 1085, 1087e, 1087-1, 1087gg, 1091b, 1092b, 1092c, 1095a, 1098e. Although Congress could enact legislation authorizing the Department to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify repayment amounts or terms, it has not done so. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 1077-10 – 1077-12, 1087e(f), 1087e(h), 1087ee, 1091b, 1098d. Rather, Congress has explicitly authorized cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness, and/or material modifications to repayment amounts or terms only in very limited circumstances. See, e.g., 20 U.S.C. §§ 1087e(f), 1087e(h), 1094(b)(3), 1098aa, et seq. ...

Title IV’s plain text and statutory scheme, and controlling interpretative canons, compel us to conclude Congress appropriated funds for student loans with the expectation that such loans would be repaid except in very specific circumstances.

NAACP President: Forgiving $10k in student loan debt ain't good enough, is a slap in the face to the average black who owes $53k

From the story:

Canceling $10,000 per borrower would cost around $321 billion and completely forgive the loans of about one-third of student loan borrowers.

This is all BS, of course. Millions of those borrowers can afford to pay off their loans themselves.

Student loans are another form of welfare for far too many borrowers of color, who dig themselves into a deep hole with government and education establishment encouragement and never get a degree, both of which also profit off the scheme. Meanwhile colleges continue to increase the cost of tuition knowing there is a ready source of government loan funding to pay for it.

Forgiving student loan debt without paying attention to income will inevitably be a handout to millions upon millions of high earners like Representative AOC who drives a Tesla Model 3 while reducing the average black loan balance by less than 20%.

Americans with income over $74,000 hold roughly 60% of the total public student loan debt. ... Black Americans are the only race who have student debt higher than their median annual income.

If you make over $74k you are in the top 20% of all wage earners in the United States in 2020. You can afford to pay your obligations. AOC is in the top 4% of all wage earners.

Handing $10k in loan forgiveness to American elites isn't a vote-buying scheme. It's a Democrat patronage payment.

Ilhan Omar lied to the infidel to steal from the infidel: She married her brother Elmi, while still married to her husband Hirsi, in order to get student loans for Elmi at North Dakota State University

Omar kept her marriage to Elmi quiet, with no one from the Somali community invited to the wedding. ...  'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.' ... The first report that Omar and her husband were siblings appeared on the website Somalispot in 2016. It said of Elmi, 34: 'As soon as Ilhan Omar married him he started university at her alma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012. ... Elmi and Omar married on February 12, 2009 at a Hennepin County office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, southwest of Minneapolis, their marriage license shows. Omar said she and Hirsi had separated in 2008, and because their faith-based union was never recognized by law, neither is their separation. ... After their marriage Omar and Elmi moved to Fargo, where they both attended North Dakota State. But Omar and Hirsi were still together as husband and wife, [community leader Abdihakim] Osman said. ... 'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country. 'Once she had the papers they could apply for student loans.  'They both moved to North Dakota to go to school but she was still married to [Hirsi]. In the Somali way, the only marriage that mattered was the one in the mosque. ... Osman believes Elmi and Omar sought out someone outside the Somali community to conduct the ceremony because an imam would have known they were related and would have refused to marry them. ... Omar and Elmi eventually divorced in 2017 and she remarried Hirsi — with whom she had a third child — in a civil ceremony the following year, just in time for her election to Congress. Osman scoffs at the idea that this was a real remarriage. 'They never parted,' he said.

Better yet, we forgive the student loan but the student must return the degree

It's the only way to tell how "worthless" all these degrees really are.

There's no business like the loan shark business: Federal student loan rates jump 18.4% effective July 1

The 10-year Treasury pays barely 2.3% but the Feds will now gouge students over 93% more than that.

From the story here:

For new loans disbursed from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018, undergraduates will pay 4.45 percent. That's an increase from this year's rate of 3.76 percent. ... [Graduate students] will pay 6 percent for a direct unsubsidized loan — which begins accruing interest as soon as the borrower takes out the loan — an increase from 5.31 percent this year. Finally, rates on direct PLUS loans, which both graduate students and parents of undergrads can use, will rise to 7 percent from the current 6.31 percent. ... Last year, the average college graduate owed $37,172, up 6 percent from 2015, according to data from Student Loan Hero. ... Total student debt in the United States is now over $1.4 trillion — the majority of which is from federal loans.
