GOP Hypocrisy Lined Up at the Trough

[Phil1111 908]

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP(Payrol Protection Plan) loans forgiven. While she appeared on FOX  critizing President Biden and democrats for giving aid to struggling students.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) got $5.5 million in federal crop subsidies. He voted against the plan.

Congressman Kevin Hern had over $1 million in PPP loans forgiven. He tweeted "To recap, in the last two weeks, the "Party of the People" has supercharged the IRS to go after working-class Americans, raised their taxes, and forced them to pay for other people's college degrees."

Congressman Vern Buchanan had over $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven. He tweeted  "As a blue-collar kid who worked his way through college, I know firsthand the sacrifices people make to receive an education. Biden’s reckless, unilateral student loan giveaway is unfair to the 87 percent of Americans without student loan debt and those who played by the rules."

Congressman Markwayne Mullin had over $1.4 million in PPP loans forgiven. He tweeted  "We do not need farmers and ranchers, small business owners, and teachers in Oklahoma paying the debts of Ivy League lawyers and doctors across the U.S. This places undue burden on those already suffering due to the weight of Biden’s failed economic policy."

I could go on through the GOP senate and the GOP House. But its more of the same.

A.. Thats why business tax breaks, subsidies for their self invested industries receive priority. Over public policy, education and long term social development policies. No conflict of interest here.

1. Good question they receive generous salaries and pension benefits.

2. Like old cows. They know every trough in the pasture. So see A above.

You didn't include the source for these.

It was the White House Twitter account that posted these.

Turns out that Biden is getting fed up with the lies & hypocrisy.

And he (they) are starting to call them out on their shit.

Stroke of genius to wait until the (R)s started whining to expose the hypocrisy.

If the only benefit of the student debt forgiveness, given it's likely overturning by our partisan supreme court, is the opportunity to trumpet the hypocrisy from now until the mid-terms it will be worth the price. Now we need to show some cojones and quit with the nicey nice. We need to change the marketing rule of 7 to 77 to meet the reception capacities of the target market. Time to get after it.

It’s fascinating seeing the Trumpers who jumped on the student loan forgiveness as work of Satan now trying to defend the PPP loans to GOP congresspersons that were forgiven as somehow different and OK.  
 

The weaseling is terrific.
