November 12, 20223 yr In the midst of some of the highest inflation in 40 years and other economic strife, NBC News Now reported that nearly three quarters of people receiving President Biden’s student loan handouts are planning on using their extra cash on "travel" and "dining out."

He was willing to go after border security and advanced it farther than Biden ever Fing did. In fact Biden made worse. He managed quite a bit having to fight both parties. Almost forgot the best part. He embarrassed the **** out of Hillary and all those who knew better in 2016. They didn't even see that hammer coming until 9:00pm. How exactly did he go after China? He did get them to award his daughter some hard to get patents. Other than that though?

If you want that tract of thought: Why are we all of sudden interested in throwing billions into Ukraine after allowing Crimea to previously fall? Is that the price we pay to protect the Biden income stream? That income is not a theory conspiratorial or otherwise.

Is that clear enough for you? Assuming it is, let's continue. I like the tariff strategy. It promotes a domestic supply chain and employment opportunities. It also disincentivizes the use of foreign, slave labor. Might have to pay a bit more for goods but that hasn't stopped anyone to this point. My initial response was spot on despite the sarcasm.

I don't understand how that would be a thing. Were I to get it, it wouldn't put an extra cash in my pocket. It wouldn't lower my payment every month. It would reduce my gigantic balance on paper which is basically meaningless. It wouldn't change my my month to month cash flow at all. My guess is people are jsut stupid and think that they are going to get 10k in cash.
