Should Students Be Required to Pay Back Their Student Loans?

What sort of asinine question is that? And how STUPID do people have to be to think they DON’T have to pay a loan back?

You borrow the money to go to school – you borrow someone else’s money to “buy” a product, in this case, that product is your education, you need to pay it back, dumb ass. It’s a loan. That’s what a loan means – you borrow money, you pay it back.

I mean seriously, people. DUH. You don’t want student loans? Then don’t borrow money. Get a job and pay for the classes as you go along. Sure. It’ll take you longer to get through school, but you won’t be $60,000 dollars in the hole after graduation. You don’t want $60,000 student loans? Then don’t go to a university where they charge you $60,000 – go to a cheaper school. But you want to go to a more expensive school? Well, I want to quit my job and travel the world.

You don’t always get what you want. You compromise and make sacrifices. It’s called real life.

But it’s not fair,” you whine?

Tough. Life’s not fair. Get over it.

Stop being such a whiny ass and buck up. NOTHING IS FREE. GET OVER IT.

OMG, this stuff drives me bat-shit crazy. We have spent the last 100 years brainwashing people into thinking they’re entitled to crap – that some magic fairy is going to come along, wave his magic wand and *POOF*, you get everything you could possibly want. Screw the people you’re getting it from, they EXIST to serve you. They EXIST to grant your every wish … AAARRGGHH….

I’m sorry, but this entitlement attitude just really pushes my buttons.

Look. If you want something, work for it. If you need money to get that something and you borrow money to get it, pay your damn loan back.

It’s not rocket science. Stop acting like people exist to give you things. It’s insulting.

We Have a Food Stamp President

I used to listen to talk radio every day, all afternoon, but now that I’m working, I only get a chance to listen to the local morning show while I’m getting ready for work, or Neal Boortz in my car at lunch.

I miss it. And I really miss not being anywhere close to my blog whenever I listen to these programs but I GET FIRED UP about this stuff.

So when I found out that the morning talk show I listen to, Nick Reed in the Morning, published segments of their show to MP3, I got excited – now I can listen AND comment when it was convenient for me!

Press “play” on the player below and listen to the segment and I’ll comment below. Skip ahead to the 11:07 mark to hear him talking about the food stamp issue.

Can you believe we currently have 45 million folks on food stamps??? One in seven people are on food stamps. WTH??? Sure. There are some folks who really NEED food stamps and I’m glad the program exists for those people, but I’m betting the majority of people on food stamps don’t HAVE to be on food stamps and only are because they can be. In other words, they are taking advantage of our crappy system because WHY NOT??

Our social programs don’t exist to HELP people anymore, they exist to SUPPORT people and in essence, make them SLAVES to the system. How so? Because it makes people dependent on the government. Because once they get sucked into the system and start relying on these programs to live, it’s doubly hard to get off them and let’s face it, most are not even motivated to do so … it’s just so much easier to allow the government to take care of them …

Er, excuse me, not the government, THE REST OF WORKING AMERICA.

Let’s not forget that all-important little factoid there – THE GOVERNMENT CONSISTS OF THE REST OF US WORKING STIFFS TRYING HARD TO MAKE IT ON OUR OWN.

People who abuse the system are leeches.

That’s right, I said it!

This gives us really good insight into the different points of view when it comes to what the role of government is in our lives. Within the bureaucracies, and many on the left, when you have a government program that exists to assist those in need, the more people you have in the program, the more of a success it is in their minds. That’s how they view success. They’ll, at times, even brag about it, that we have managed to reach, to manage to cover, ten percent more people this year, and in their minds, that is a success. It is a success to them that our country is eroding to a point where more and more people are not able, or willing, to go on their own and to have assistance. That is a clear contrast to what it is that the successful, not only in this country but successful in their lives, view as what a success is. I mean, imagine that point of view for a moment … when your view of success is when the more people in your country are failing, therefore need you in order to supplement their income, supplement their pantry, that’s a horrible, horrible way of looking at things.

You know those old black and white movies where you see people in line to get soup? It would be like bragging that you have more people standing in line to get soup. That’s how the government views it when more people get on government programs today.

That’s a pretty sick logic, folks. I think calling President Obama the Food Stamp President is justified.

Don’t you?

That’s what he wants. That’s what the extreme left is all about. Their mission is to trick people into becoming more and more dependent on the government so that more and more people have no choice but to vote for them, and their dependent, social programs.

That’s a form of slavery people.

How, exactly, is that a GOOD thing?

Think about it.

Are You Thinking for Yourself? Or Are You Allowing Others to Think For You?

If you haven’t been paying attention, if you haven’t been reading, listening, watching the debate about Obamacare, then you’re a poor excuse for an American. Because we have reached a critical moment in our American history. We’re on the precipice of fundamental change. The question is, how many of us will sit on our asses and allow it to happen?

Not me.

Dude. *tap-tap-tap* You. Yeah, you. Are you paying attention? Turn off your reality smut-TV for a moment and pay attention to what is going on – it’s ugly and it’s going to affect you PERSONALLY very, very soon.

Let me tell you something, whether you like Mark Levin or not, you should listen to him right now. He has been dissecting the debate in the Supreme Court and it’s terribly interesting. It’s especially interesting to listen to Mr. Levin’s opinions because he’s a Constitutional lawyer and knows what the hell he’s talking about.

I’ll tell you something else – I’m so thankful that this is happening now, in the age of the Internet and blogs, because a lot of this information is coming from the Internet and blogs and NOT from “traditional” news outlets. Why? Because news “outlets” only spoon feed you what they want you to know. At least now, the information is out there, if only people would click outside their Huffington Posts and New York Times and read it.

Knowledge is POWER, people. Try it sometime.

The Vote Pump

Did you get all of that? Did it make your head spin?

It should. IT’S OUT OF CONTROL.

Watch it again, pause it, absorb where those numbers are coming from and then try and convince me that we should continue to spend like we have been.

WAKE UP AMERICA. We can NOT sustain this level of insanity much longer.

Which would you prefer: painful cutbacks and responsible programs or nothing at all?

Because just like Mr. Whittle says in this video – if we continue to do nothing, we will have nothing.

I did not post this to scare you, I posted this because it’s time to take our head out of our asses and fix this mess.

And it all begins with taking the checkbook away from our president.

Vote this clueless, money hungry, power grabbing man out of office NOW.
