Bernie Sanders Criticizes Billionaire For Giving Money To Students Instead Of The Needy Federal Government
2019-05-21
[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.‐Bernie Sanders's favorite pastime is calling out evil billionaires for their evilness. Sanders found the perfect opportunity to do this once again as billionaire Robert F. Smith announced he would be paying off the student debt of those who graduated from Morehouse College.

Sanders pointed to the egregious waste of funds as a perfect example of what happens when billionaires are allowed to keep their money.

"Why does this evil billionaire think he knows what's best for his money when clearly the incredibly efficient federal government could put it to better use?" Sanders said at a rally Monday. "This is just another example of corrupt billionaires hoarding their money instead of using it for the greater good by giving it to the government."

"We can't stand for it, we won't stand for it, and we will get this reversed if it's the last thing we do," Sanders said to cheers from the crowd. "His money is as good as ours."

#5  It may be BB, but the underlying story is real. At first I felt it was unfair to those (few?) who had found ways to finish without debt, but then recalled what Jesus said in Matthew 20:1-16; nobody's getting cheated, just some are getting a deal.

#4  I know it is the BB, but I stand by my comments anyway.

#3  Oftentimes, Sanders doesn't make a frickin lick of sense. Support this guy and you are following a nutjob down the road to ruin.

#2  I wonder how the Morehouse student felt who dropped out of school to work so that he/she wouldn't have to take out student loans?

#1  This is of course Babylon Bee satire, but I feel for the Morehouse graduate who worked his or her way through college and owes nothing.
