SANTA CLAUS IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

By Bob Walsh

 

Illustration by Michael Ramirez for Creators SyndicateOK, his actual name is Joe Biden but he is still Santa Claus, or at least wants you to think he is Santa Claus, if you have an outstanding student loan.  

Even though practically nobody thinks it is legal Joe announced yesterday that he intends to "discharge" (cancel) $1.2 billion in student debt for 150,000 people, all of whom he wants to vote for him.  AKA vote buying.  And of course this doesn't really "cancel" the debt, it moves it to me and you, otherwise known as taxpayers.  

The most recent attempt to do this met with court challenges.  Eventually the courts told Joe that he did not have the legal authority to do this.  He even said up front that he believed he did not have the authority to do it.  But he is doing it any way.  He is desperate to buy votes anywhere he can, anyway he can.  

And he is doing it with our money.
