Tucker Carlson thinks we should stop paying our credit card bills

[00:00:00]So, Tucker Carlson wants us to stop paying our credit card bills. Watch and let's talk about it.

[00:00:05]>> People saying don't spend money you don't have. It's a It's something most people are aware of, but some people don't practice that.

[00:00:11]>> Yeah, I I used to feel that way. Now I'm kind of like, I don't know.

[00:00:15]I think people should stop paying their credit cards. I know no one else agrees with me and well, you have a moral obligation. Really? Well, you have a moral obligation not to send credit card applications to kids in college. So, this goes both ways. It's like just blaming the drug addict and never mentioning the dealer. Someone's selling the fentanyl. And that person is on the hook, too. So, that's how I feel. So, like, is it a sin to rip off your drug dealer? I guess. It's not one I'm going to judge you for.

[00:00:38]>> Tucker Carlson is absolutely right here and it's making me a little bit queasy how much I'm agreeing with him of late.

[00:00:43]Now, that doesn't necessarily mean you should stop paying. That's an individual decision that has a lot of implications, but if Tucker doesn't also believe in student loan forgiveness, then he's just spewing nonsense. I graduated from college in 2007 and then the market crashed. The only job I could get when I graduated was selling patio furniture for my dad's sister company. And let's just say there's not very many people buying luxury patio furniture right after the biggest market crash since the Great Depression. The point of me saying this is that for obvious reasons, predatory lending was at the top of everyone's mind, but it stopped at housing. I was so broke at the time that there's no way anyone should have been giving me loans and yet, I was given two credit cards. And when I enrolled in law school, there was almost no limit to how much I could take out for cost of living expenses. At the time, it was a big help because again, I was broke. But I was also 22 years old and probably further away than most from the full development of my frontal lobe. I also have ADHD and didn't know at the time. Not a great time to add on even more terrible judgment and impulse control. Now, I'm 41 and may never get away from all of this debt. And yet, the dudes that got rich off of us face no consequences. I even paid most of what I owed, but still owe more than I took out. If I don't pay, I could lose everything, but the rich don't care and do whatever they want. Tucker sees how much MAGA is now embracing the rich as opposed to the working class like they promised and knows that others see that, too. Tucker himself is an opportunist, but it's a good sign that we're seeing this kind of pushback from the right.
