REMINDER: Biden created the student debt crisis.

The solution is simple: students who truly can't pay back their student loans should be able to have it discharged in bankruptcy court.

That would also force lenders to be less predatory in their lending practices.

And it would force universities to make their tuitions more affordable, as lenders refused to make risky, overly-expensive loans.

But in 1978, Senator Joe Biden supported the "Middle Income Student Assistance Act", which eliminated income restrictions on federal loans to expand eligibility to all students.

He then used that elimination of income restriction to warn of the threat of student debt bankruptcy, and wrote a separate bill later that year to block students from filing bankruptcy on those loans.

The income restrictions were reinstated in 1981.

He then went on to vote for bills which extended loan eligibility to students with no parental financial support.

In 1984, Biden used his senior position in the Judiciary Committee to extend bankruptcy exemptions to vocational schools as well.

And now that he's created the debt crisis that everyone with common sense warned would happen, he's trying again to use it as an excuse to assert powers that his office does not have.

Because that's what politicians always do: create a crisis, and then grandstand on your suffering that he caused in order to push for more power and more of your money.

To this day, he still won't push for Congress to end the bankruptcy exemption for student loans, for a very simple reason:

He doesn't want the crisis to end. He wants it to worsen, so he can exploit it for more power.

Man, @SenatorBrakey is such a goddamn legend!

Kim Mulkey's commitment to talking about herself is honestly impressive.

[Nate @HawksBro]

@CraigShultz87 I've disliked her ever since she tried downplaying how good Gustafson was when Iowa played Baylor in the tourney a few years back. She's somehow gotten worse.

Hope these officials never get another game in their lifetime.

Opportunity to grow the game to levels like it's never seen, break TV records and the entire conversation is about officiating.

Hope there's an investigation after this game.

No T here. Lmao. Gotta be kidding me

[Nate @HawksBro]

@whitwt Well that's encouraging. I know for a fact that rabbits that make their way into the backyard don't get the cuddly treatment

[Nate @HawksBro]

@whitwt 🤣🤣🤣

[Nate @HawksBro]

@whitwt I'd sure hope so. She might also ask an intruder for pets...but aggressively so still scary if you don't know she's a teddy bear

[Nate @HawksBro]

@whitwt Phenomenal. She gets a little close when she's romping around worked up sometimes, but her overall demeanor is everything you'd want.

[Nate @HawksBro]

@whitwt I think it was a gift? Either that or the wife bought it. Either way, came back purebred. The dog ones are cheaper than the people ones and presumably less nefarious

[Nate @HawksBro]

@whitwt Purebred Pyr according to the DNA test, but it seems like she's got some golden in her

You can’t find baby formula in the United States right now but Congress is voting today to send $40 billion to Ukraine. Let’s put America First for a change.
