    Default While you sleep... they are tying to give away your tax $

    I subscribe to a bunch of the Left's crap under a false email to keep abreast of their shenanigans.
    Got this yesterday...
    Below is an email from Robert Applebaum, a MoveOn member who created a petition at SignOn.org that is getting a lot of attention and may be of interest to you. If you have concerns or feedback about this petition, click here.
    Dear MoveOn member,
    Forgiving the student loan debt of all Americans will have an immediate stimulative effect on our economy. With the stroke of the President's pen, millions of Americans would suddenly have hundreds, or in some cases, thousands of extra dollars in their pockets each and every month to spend on ailing sectors of the economy.
    As consumer spending increases, businesses will begin to hire, jobs will be created, and a new era of innovation, entrepreneurship, and prosperity will be ushered in for all. A rising tide does, in fact, lift all boats—forgiving student loan debt, rather than tax cuts for corporations, millionaires and billionaires, has a MUCH greater chance of helping to raise that tide in a MUCH shorter time-frame.
    The future economic success of this country is wholly dependent upon a well-educated, prosperous middle class. Instead of saddling entire generations with debt from which there is no escape, let's empower the American people to grow this economy on their own!
    That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org, calling on President Obama and Congress to support legislation seeking student loan forgiveness as a means of economic stimulus.
    Will you sign the petition? Click here to add your name, and then pass it along to your friends:

    Thanks!

    NO NO NO NO! Too many people get student loans and don't even go to school!

    Hmm an online petition (those always work, right?) to forgive the student loans (which most of the middle/lower class that really pulls the heartstrings of liberals don't have, because they didn't go to college) of people on everyone else's dime? Can I have a few years to get into law school first?

    Here we go! Let's just forgive all debt right now and go back to zero! That'll stimulate the economy! Then 10 years from now let's do it again... then we will be no better than Somalia!

    I take it back! They apparently will listen to online petitions.

    https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions (I appreciate the irony of the name)


    Heard on the radio this morning 5 of the top 10 petitions so far were for legalization of MJ.

    Can't wait to see this media stunt backfire for MORE lack of action...

    Why do these people think everything should be free. You went to school and took out loans and it is your responsibility to repay them. Don't blame the banks or try to make me pay for your degree in women's history. It is your fault you can't get a job with your useless major.
