August 25th 2022: Jubilee

The fact that the people who most rail about separation of church and state are the ones talking about theonomy and jubilee is almost as hilarious as the group that was most upset about building a wall also being the group that quoted Nehemiah most to say we need to focus Christian work on urban areas.

Let me break down why jubilee is wonderful and doesn’t apply at all to this situation.

The rich oppressing the poor isn’t some Marxist tagline, it is a pattern of behavior throughout human history that Proverns warns that God hates. Unequal weights and measures Proverbs 20 (twice) is exactly what is happening when people who have never voluntarily entered into a contract for student debt, people who paid off student debt, people whose entire careers were shackled with lower earning because they couldn’t afford college and felt that debt was unwise (borrower is servant to the lender) are being asked to pay for the debts of others.

The government cannot give anyone money. The government doesn’t have its own money. It has money that we the people pay in the form of taxation. That is it. When Joe Biden gives away 300 billion he said he legally couldn’t last year (with Pelosi) he is taking it from the people.

It will also cost you in another way if it is able to hit the economy and isn’t stopped in the courts, it will cause inflation.

If they wanted to fix the issues, student debt could be dissolved in bankruptcy, and then people would cry that they cannot get money to pay for graduate school (the majority of student debt) and then the market would respond. Instead we have a plethora of truly worthless degrees in grievance studies sending out hordes of professional victims who end up demanding the type of parasitic jobs that help no one and destroy a Republic from within.

Jubilee helps to prevent predatory lending because people know that no matter what they cannot give more than X because the loan has a limited term. Being shackled by lifelong debt isn’t a possibility in an economy with jubilee. But the lender is aware of that from the start. Now the government is telling the taxpayers that we are paying a debt we did not incur and did not agree to pay and are not responsible for.

The IRS wants 87000 new agents so they can go after poor people who accept 1000 on Venmo for doing piano lessons as a side gig. This is class warfare and if people understand it before they vote, the rich thieves in DC are in for quite a wake up call.

Lois Lerner intentionally used the IRS in a partisan way, lied under oath and destroyed her hard drive, and things are worse today than they were then.

I am including in the comments two rants that demonstrate correct outrage at what is immoral and unjust that is happening. Feel free to share!
