"We need students to have access to higher education and to do it without oppressive debt" -- SBSo if Sherrod calls an extra $1000 on a loan that someone voluntarily borrows "oppressive debt", what does he call the mountain of debt he and President Downgrade are piling on everyone's shoulders, without our consent?
What kind of debt are we talking about?
When Sherrod Brown took office on January 3rd, 2007, the national debt was $8.7 trillion. Today, it stands at $15.7 trillion. Since he has been in the Senate, he has increased the national debt by $7 trillion.
Sherrod has added over $23,000 for every man, woman and child in America in under 5 1/2 years. Debt that we didn't ask for, unlike taking out a student loan.
And he DARES to call $1000 "oppressive"?? The failed joke of a "stimulus" that he voted for? That alone cost every person in America $3000! And he wants us to get worked up over $1000?
Sherrod Brown actually talks about "fiscal responsibility" on his website. His idea of responsibility begins with blaming George Bush and ends with claiming that Obamacare is going to reduce the deficit. In fact, Sherrod is so fiscally responsible, that he and his Senate Democrats have refused to pass a budget in over three years.

I looked up Sherrod Brown on twitter and found the account you show here and one that is "Senator" Sherrod Brown - I assuem the one you show (which I have been answering on twitter) is legit?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, Sherrod has 2 twitter accounts: @SenSherrodBrown and @SherrodBrown. He and his staff use @SherrodBrown much more frequently.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only Website that talks about the "real" Mr. Brown. Keep up spreading the word!
ReplyDeleteBytor - thanks - now a question from a Twitter neophyte (sounds better than newb, right?) - when he tweets, and I want to reply to refute his BS, is there a way to respond that others that are not following me will see the reply?
ReplyDeleteNo. Only your followers would see it in their timeline. Also, if you are replying to someone by starting your tweet with their handle, only that person, and people who follow BOTH of you, will see it.
DeleteFor example, if you tweet
@SherrodBrown did you pass a budget yet?
then only Sherrod and people who follow both you AND Sherrod will see it. Your other followers wouldn't see it.
But if you put @SherrodBrown anywhere later in the tweet, then all of your followers would see it. That is why you will often see tweets with a period in front like this:
.@SherrodBrown did you compare anyone to Hitler today?
thanks for the education - great examples - what if I use a hashtag that he used like #dontdoublemyrate?
DeleteIf anyone searched for the hashtag they would see your tweet and all other tweets that also included that hashtag. But it wouldn't show up in anyone's timeline except your followers.
