Which is fine.

The problem is, she attached banks for doing the same thing she did. She also got very rich off the backs of students who took out loans to pay her massive salary, but again, she says it's immoral for anyone else to profit off student loans.

No hypocrisy there? None?

"then support Mnuchin"

I generally have no use for Manchin (is that you you mean?), he talks like a Republican at home to get votes, then goes to DC and votes like Chuck Schumer. I don't like him, but I'm glad he torpedoed this bill. Though I'd bet he's holding out for more pork for WV, I don't believe he actually voted on principle. He has positioned himself as the most powerful person in the country right now. Even the president has to kiss his ring.

But I doubt you were critical of McCain when he killed Republican attempts to revise Obamacare. If that's heroic, so is what Manchin did. What's good for the goose...

First of all she didn’t make her money thru flipping foreclosures.
And an endowed chair is funded thru an endowment, not tuition and the person is chosen because of their status in their field.

Mnuchin was the guy who was called the foreclosure king.
During Mnuchin’s reign, IndyMac carried out more than 36,000 foreclosures, tossing former homeowners (including active duty military servicemen and women) onto the street without hesitation or pity by any means necessary. According to a memo obtained by investigative reporter David Dayen, OneWest, the new name that Mnuchin and his billionaire posse coined for Indybank, of which Mnuchin was now CEO and chairman, “rushed delinquent homeowners out of their homes by violating notice and waiting period statutes, illegally backdated key documents, and effectively gamed foreclosure auctions.”

The Koch brothers still own a lot of real estate, but their best investment may be the Manchin they bought in West Virginia.

Pete, if someone follows the law, i don’t have a huge problem
with them flipping foreclosures. I have no problem
with Warren making money by flipping foreclosures. What i have a problem with, is when she says it’s evil when others do it.

if she can do it, so can everyone else.

And i have a huge problem with her calling someone a free loader who helped create 71,000 jobs in the US and who is going to pay $11 billion in federal income come tax in a year. He’s the exact opposite of a free loader, he’s contributing tons to the public good and taking little public money for himself. His money comes from smashing success in the free market.

Very few people who have ever lived, have been a better “deal” to the public, than he has.

Healthy people
who choose welfare over work are free loaders. Not Elan Musk. He’s a huge, huge, huge net positive for the public.
