Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By admin Like a dog with a bone, I’m not lettin’ this one go yet. The following is an email sent to Senator Merkley, reprinted here with the author’s permission: Why should empathy for people that can’t spell b-u-d-g-e-t, much less adhere to one, cost all American taxpayers $300 billion? We live in the United States of America, the land of opportunity, not the land of handouts. The president specifically, and Democrats in general, must be blind. Here’s the REAL reason for out-of-control student debt in this country: “Since 1980, college tuition and fees are up 1,200%, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all items has risen by 236%.” Besides the student debt fiasco, the Democrat’s tax and spend lifestyle is on the cusp of creating another Solyndra debacle thanks to loosey-goosey provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act. Given current politics playing out on the national stage, if just one of the get-rich-quick outfits falls on their sword with pockets full of taxpayer money, the Democrats will suffer an embarrassment that will make Obama’s Solyndra fiasco look like a success story. 3
