ummm, i know an elephant and a mouse arentbthe same just because they eat peanuts. you guys are really slow in the uptake.

the mouse and the elephant are different. very different. but if both eat peanuts, neither one has the moral standing to lecture the other about why it’s evil to eat peanuts. do you honestly not agree with that? seriously?

see, once again, you are losing so you move the goalposts. first you said the distinction was between the elephant and the mouse, now you’re saying the distinction is between good and bad peanuts.

was warren only calling out the “predatory” lenders, and encouraging people to use the ethical lenders? that’s not how i recall it. she went after banks for exploiting students and driving up the cost of tuition. you cannot win this, i have all the cards, you have a pair of 4s.

she’s the textbook definition of a shameless hypocrite. and i pray she runs for potus in 2020.

I think you're conflating issues Jim. Warren wants all college loans to be at a low enough interest rate so the lender -- often the US Government directly -- doesn't see a profit. I'm not sure why this would be a bad thing.

The predatory issue she has was with shady colleges working to attract students but failing to deliver an education. Previously the government would forgive these loans if the complaint was qualified...under Trump this has pretty much ceased.

Holding all the cards doesn't mean much if you're at the craps table just FYI

"Warren wants all college loans to be at a low enough interest rate "

Which colleges would use as an excuse to pay unionized professors more, to jack up tuition more.

If you want to lower the cost of tuition, a good start would be to not have professors getting paid 400k a year to teach one class. I see Warren isn't advocating for that, gee I wonder why...

"Holding all the cards doesn't mean much if you're at the craps table "

That's true in theory. But when I look at what the GOP is holding right now - the Oval Office, both chambers of congress, and a large majority of state governorships and legislatures...when I see all that, I'm pretty confident that I'm not the one who wandered moronically into the wrong table. Have fun making that wrong.
