'Five Bankruptcies For Me, No Loan Forgiveness For You'

[turbinetree]

Rep. Burgess Owens, who has filed for bankruptcy protection multiple times, said (student) "debt cannot be cancelled." Irony truly is dead.

By Ed Scarce — March 24, 2023

I suppose it's fitting that a congressman who's declared bankruptcy five (5) times himself should disparage student loan forgiveness, as Trump has often done, seeing as Trump has declared bankruptcy six (6) times himself. Not exactly the party of personal responsibility, are they? They all talk a good game, but...

Anyway, this dummy will parade in front of tv cameras on Thursday to do just that, and hope we all just ignore the contradiction and the hypocrisy of his words.

In a press release, Owens telegraphed how the hearing would play out, arguing that President Joe Biden has no authority to cancel student debt unilaterally.
