Don't Fall For Democrats' Disastrous Student-Loan Racket
David Harsanyi
Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren released a cringy video appeal to young voters this week, letting them know that Senate Democrats were integral in the White House’s efforts to “cancel student debt.”
Sure, they’re bragging about saddling the average taxpayer with the debt of the privileged college graduates. But let’s not overlook the fact that Warren and Schumer are also bragging about helping the president circumvent the institution they supposedly run.
It is no surprise the leader of what is allegedly the greatest deliberative lawmaking body in the world — tasked with checking the power of the executive branch — is telling us he will sell out the legislative branch for a few votes. A few years back, Schumer told Rachel Maddow it may be “a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency,” which would have given the White House nearly unfettered power to run the economy by fiat. If President Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis or Joe McRedState took the same power, Schumer would rend his garments.
These are the same people, incidentally, who’ve deputized themselves as democracy’s great defenders. Thank you, heroes.
For partisan Democrats who don’t give a whit about constitutional order, the student loan racket has no real downside.
