Origins of debt are traced to policies favoring specific demographics, highlighted by anecdotes of $70,000 online loans versus veteran forgiveness.

Government Created This Debt Problem00:05:32
Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
Look at this clown.
He's a damn clown right there.
You got a nice suit on, though.
81 million votes.
Superstar.
81 million votes for this guy.
Jam superstar.
Check out the video.
Dumb and dumb.
Right now, over 40 million Americans eligible for debt relief are being denied that immediate relief today.
Why?
Because Republican officials and special interests hit us with lawsuits to block it.
Folks, I know you're frustrated.
I am as well.
And I am too.
Wow.
The millions of working and middle-class Americans who are under the burden of loan debt, student debt relief would be life-changing.
No, it ain't.
And guess what?
Because of these Republican officials, not even one of the over 80,000 people from Delaware, where I know you're from, Joe, who applied for student debt relief or were eligible for automatic loan forgiveness, have been able to get a dime of that relief.
The fact is that in Vermont, Bernie, it's over 50,000 borrowers.
50,000 borrowers.
And what about bigger states?
How about the state of Texas and the state of Missouri?
Well, Joe, it'd be over 2 million and close to 500,000 borrowers, respectively.
The list goes on in state after state.
No matter what these Republican officials say, we know student debt relief will make a real difference for people.
We're going to get it done.
It's good policy.
The law is on our side.
And we're doing the right thing.
We're going to get it done.
And I didn't hear any of these Republican officials complaining when the government gave huge tax breaks to big corporations.
But here they are stopping relief for working families.
Now we're fighting like hell to get this done.
We're in court next month, so keep the faith and spread the two clowns.
Whose idea was it to use post-it notes?
Hey, dumb and dumber.
I think it was Bernie's idea.
Cut me off, man.
Won't you let me talk, man?
Three hours later.
Man, I just answered your question.
I kept trying to say this one thing.
Whose idea was it to use these damn post-it notes?
And that's your question.
I said, Bernie.
You must build a rag today.
Chief is the most violent host I've ever worked with.
I'm scared to even say anything.
Hey, what did he say?
He said, I didn't hear no Republicans complaining when they passed the tax breaks for the wealthy, the big corporations, right?
Who passed the tax breaks, assoles?
Who passed the tax breaks?
Congress did that.
Just it was in Congress when those damn tax breaks got passed.
These two jackasses.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It wasn't just Republicans.
It was Democrats, too.
Hey, let me do some talking.
Let me do some talking.
Look, they're trying to say Republicans are bad, bad, bad.
And they're good, good, good.
But the people that's doing all the bad, bad, bad is the people that's accusing other people being bad, bad, bad.
It's genius.
These people are Einsteins.
People eat this up, man.
People believe them, man.
You know, inflation is like a huge problem in this country.
And what causes inflation is increasing the money supply.
Yeah.
Like, let's say this pass, right?
They get this to go through for some reason through the courts.
Yeah, because we don't got that money, dude.
Because we don't have that money.
The government's got to go back and print this shit.
They print it.
You can't get all this tax money from the taxpayers.
We're already in the hole.
They're going to take and print this shit and then send it to all the banks.
Hell, pay them all off.
That's inflationary.
That causes inflation.
Yeah, it's not like we have any money left.
You think all that money we sent to Ukraine.
How much money we send in Ukraine?
I think it's billions, ain't it?
Billions?
It's like tens of billions.
I think we're around billions.
50 billion, man.
Yeah, that's the same thing they did there.
They print this money and send it there.
This causes inflation.
Yeah, it's horrible.
And you know the reason why we in this mess?
Why?
Take a wild guess, man.
Who caused this mess?
Who caused it?
Oh, the government started all this mess.
You know why?
This is what the government did years ago.
Hey, you black, you Mexican, you Mexican, use a person of color, you're too stupid and poor to go to college.
Yeah, yeah, you're a woman.
You taught all these white men getting all these great paying jobs.
Hey, guess what?
You could go to college too.
Now we're giving out student loans.
Yeah, anybody can go to college.
Doesn't matter about your credit score.
You want a job like a good, like these white men?
Yeah.
You got to get education.
Yeah, you got to go.
With education, we can put you on the same level.
It'd be equality.
It's equality.
Everybody gets to go to college.
And when that went through, the college is like, yeah, everybody's guaranteed to get student loans.
And let's check these damn rates up.
Let's check them up.
Damn, book.
That book used to be $25 out of that book.
$500 now.
Yeah, these classes, man.
We went to school online.
Paid like, what, $70,000 for that piece of shit?
The damn piece of paper.
It was $70,000, man.
I'm still paying on my college loans.
I'm almost done.
I paid mine off.
Yeah, well, you got paid off because you're a disabled veteran.
They felt sorry for you.
Yeah, but y'all, the government created this problem.
And now supposedly, they're fixing it.
Education As The Great Equalizer00:01:08
Yeah.
They fixed yours, man.
The government fixed yours.
They couldn't get off me.
You're a disabled vet, man.
Yeah, they paid mine off.
He paid you off, man.
Hey, man, I want my student loans paid for, man.
Who'd you pay mine off?
You're not disabled.
You got paid off.
I want my shit paid off.
I'm voting for Bernie and Bob.
Well, I hurt my background as I'm military.
No, man.
Stop crying like a baby.
They took care of you, man.
I want to be taken care of too.
Well, I got like the job bill and stuff.
I'm just being facetious.
I'm paying them off.
I know that.
I was being facetious.
You can't tell what I'm joking.
Shut up.
Yeah.
I found this video on Instagram.
The White House actually put this video up.
Yeah.
Imagine putting this video up and think that's a great idea.
Yeah, whoever y'all hired to shoot this video, y'all looking at the wrong cameras.
