Another giveaway for votes and another taxpayer burden

The Biden administration just announced a student loan forgiveness program but cannot tell us the actual cost. 300 billion to perhaps 600 billion, but what the hell, it's the taxpayers money so why should the Washington crowd care. They hired all those new IRS agents to beat down the lower and middle class so they may be able to eke a few dollars out of struggling taxpayers to fund the debacle. 

I paid for my children's college education each semester, working two and three jobs when necessary to assure they had a quality education. They never had student loans hanging over their heads as they moved into a productive adult life. I never had student loans nor did I use the GI Bill for my own education. To be honest, I started college too late and my eligibility for the GI Bill had expired long ago. So, in my thirst for knowledge I obtained multiple degrees in my chosen field of endeavor, all the way to a Doctorate. And worked full time in doing so, studying at night and on weekends, and raising a family too. All this on a single income family.

So why are those who took student loans able to receive ten or twenty thousand dollars in loan forgiveness on the backs of taxpayers? And why this burden for many taxpayers who never went to college? Those who sought careers in jobs not requiring a college degree and who were, and are, highly productive members of society? Those who paid their own way through college and are now being required to pay strangers way as well? Why are those who took worthless degree paths like Political Science and Liberal Arts and other courses that they will never get a career in getting a debt payment? Why is the person who took 12 years to complete a 4 year degree and spent the student loan funds on cars, booze and parties getting relief of a debt they legally owe? 

It's all to garner votes for the mid term elections. It's a giant taxpayer funded ploy to give the warm fuzzies to a class of people who don't deserve the taxpayer funded "gift" in the hope this will sway them to vote Democrat. 

The current administration has gone off the rails in reckless spending and is adding to not only inflation, but the grief of American taxpayers who foot the bill for all of this nonsense. Try telling a family that is struggling to keep the roof over their head and food on the table how paying someone else's bills is helping them. Try telling working people that they need to pay more and more for people who don't pay. It's akin to that family eating beans and paying for someone else's steak dinner.

This is like a giant welfare system devised by the Democrats in Washington, the prelude to a socialist society. Take from those who earn their money and give it to the whiners who not only don't work for it, but don't deserve it either. 

America as we knew it is gone...
