“Racial Inequality”: Chuck Schumer Tells Biden to Cancel Absurd Amount in Student Loan Debt Because of Racism https://trendingpolitics.com/racial...in-student-loan-debt-because-of-racism-crugg/ Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on President Joe Biden to cancel student loan debt due to racism. During a press conference on Tuesday alongside Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Schumer called on Biden to pause and end federal student loan payments. The Daily Wire reports: Schumer first asked President Biden to extend the federal pause on debt payments — a proposal that the three lawmakers suggested in June, arguing that the Department of Education’s “suspension of payments and interest during the pandemic has provided essential relief to borrowers and their families during this economic and public health crisis.” Schumer then suggested that Biden leverage his executive authority to waive tens of thousands of dollars in debt for each borrower. “We are also continuing to call on President Biden to use his existing legal authority to cancel up to $50,000 of student debt,” Schumer said. “This pause has actually shown how important canceling student debt is to borrowers and to our economy… ten times over, canceling $50,000 in debt would be even more important and helpful to these folks who are borrowers, to get the economy going, and to deal with the racial inequality which student debt has exacerbated.”

McCarthy Pledges ‘Real Investigations’ of Democrats’ ‘Fraud and Abuse’ If GOP Wins Back House in 2022 https://trendingpolitics.com/mccart...aud-and-abuse-if-gop-wins-back-house-in-2022/ House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Saturday he will ensure that the GOP engages in “real investigations” of Democrat “fraud and abuse” if his party retakes the chamber during the 2022 midterms. In an interview with host Matthew Boyle on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday, the man who would likely replace current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledged to support investigations into whether the California Democrat’s husband engaged in any insider trading as well as president son Hunter Biden over his art deals. Those probes stand in contrast to the current Jan. 6 select committee investigation which McCarthy says Pelosi has launched as a political decoy for the Biden administration’s policies as well as political fodder for her party heading into next year’s elections.

Gingrich: Dems’ Massive Spending Will Worsen Inflation And Lead to GOP Blowout in 2022 https://trendingpolitics.com/gingri...en-inflation-and-lead-to-gop-blowout-in-2022/ Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicted in an op-ed on Monday that congressional Democrats uniting to pass a gargantuan spending package while inflation rages throughout the economy will be “political suicide” for their party. Gingrich noted that Democrats are set to pass a $3.5 trillion spending bill filled with a liberal wish list including many “Green New Deal” provisions on top of a $1.2 trillion bill the Senate is expected to pass this week that contains about $600 billion in money for what is considered to be ‘traditional’ infrastructure such as building or repairing roads, bridges, waterways and airports. But that new spending will come on top of trillions already spent on “COVID-19 relief” and will dramatically increase the already burgeoning national debt while worsening inflation at a time when Americans are already paying a lot more for consumer goods, commodities, and services. “The $3.5 trillion spending bill set up to follow the $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill (which has little to do with infrastructure) should be called what it really is: The Higher Inflation and Bigger Debt Act,” Gingrich wrote at Fox News.
