There's not being intelligent enough to discern the truth and then there's willful stupidity.

I'm pretty sure this post was an example of the latter.

If we change the definition of "conservative" or if you were born in 2009, maybe.

I don't think the self-described populists will label GWB in their clique

And what we would change it to to make his statement true?

I would be at a loss to come up with that definition.

This has always been the discussion when MAGA-Patriots try to proclaim they are the real conservatives and demand ideological purity from their pols/fellow travelers. They play a whack a mole merging electability with ideology to make everything "conservative", and love self labeling themselves as "small government conservatives" while then promoting tariffs, Social Security, and the police state.

It’s not like the court said it was a criminal violation. Actually, I’d have to read the opinion again. I understood that Biden found an administrative way around the
Court’s holding.

Biden’s talking about the PSLF program which was created by Congress in 2007.

Although he temporarily expanded the qualifying payments, he didn’t create the program, so I’m not sure why he needs to announce anything.

It would be nice if he forgave the student loans for doctors and others who are actually contributing to society instead of baristas with a liberal arts degree.

Doctors have a million avenues in addition to PSLF.

Rural hospitals will pay off their SLs for a short-term contract in addition to salaries with major benies.

I thought SCOTUS ruled college debt forgiveness was unconstitutional? So does this mean Potatus has 'officially' scrapped the U.S. Constitution?

We don't need no stinkin SCOTUS ruling on student debt forgiveness - Pedo-Pervert in Chief Joe Biden

You thought wrong.

No, considering your question is built on an incorrect assumption in a previous question.

This is the opposite of populism. It’s simply an appeal to human tendency to ignore macro effect of policy when it benefits them on a micro level.

Don’t get so hung up with labels and terminology that you ignore what is actually happening. Throughout history, groups and individuals have sought to accumulate power and wealth, creating an elite class in the process. They have been known by many names, and manipulation is their most powerful tool.
