yanno, something just hit me. Recently while out stumping for hubby she was complaining about owing her student loans.
Now, aside from the sheer absurdity of her ingratitude for being able to go to Princeton & Harvard, I think? and somehow being mad at having to pay back the loans...
OK, tangent here. They were "student loans", not student grants", "student gifts", student gimmes" etc. She signed to borrow the money. She seems fairly intelligent, so what part of "this is a loan, which means you have to pay it back after you go to work, didn't she get?
This is the nice, twisty little maze that set me off to:
Obama is my age, 47. They've been married for almost 20 years. She has been earning $200 to $300 THOUSAND per year. They reported income last year of something like $1.4 MILLION. For one year.
So why the hell hasn't she paid the loans back long ago? Why does she still owe anything?
Are these people who have earned a considerable amount of money, yet rather than becoming wealthy with their debts paid off & money in the bank, invested in some mutual funds, bonds, CD's, etc working for them, are as broke as everyone else? I dunno what their debts are, but I'm wondering now just what makes anyone think he has any idea how money works, much less enough to diddle with our various govt polices that effect the economy?
But why the hell hasn't she paid back those loans?
