COUNT THE COST

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 31, 2022

    IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SCRIPTURE, YOU KNOW THE VERSE IN LUKE WHERE JESUS ASKS THE QUESTION: “FOR WHICH OF YOU, DESIRING TO BUILD A TOWER, DOES NOT FIRST SIT DOWN AND COUNT THE COST?” HE’S TALKING ABOUT THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP, BUT THE QUESTION COULD ALSO BE APPLIED TO NONSTOP GOVERNMENT SPENDING.  

    ASKED ABOUT THE COST OF THE STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM, THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY, THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE PRESIDENT HINMSELF CAN’T, OR WON’T SAY.

    ASIDE FROM THE LOAN FORGIVENESS BEING UNFAIR AND UNJUST TO RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHO  HAVE ALREADY PAID OFF THEIR STUDENT LOANS, HOW CAN THE ADMINISTRATION SAY WITH STRAIGHT FACES THAT IT IS BEING PAID FOR BY THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT, WHEN MOST ECONOMISTS SAY IT WILL ADD TO INFLATION?

    IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ATTEMPT TO BUY THE YOUTH VOTE IN NOVEMBER. HAVE YOU EVER VISITED THE DEBT CLOCK ONLINE AND SEEN HOW RAPIDLY IT IS GROWING? IT IS UNSUSTAINABLE, BUT LIBERAL POLITICIANS DON’T CARE, BECAUSE IT’S ALL ABOUT THEIR CAREERS AND RE-ELECTION PROSPECTS. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT COUNTING COSTS. THEY CARE ONLY ABOUT COUNTING VOTES. STOP ELECTING THEM AND STOP DEPENDING ON GOVERNMENT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
