Elizabeth Warren proposes canceling student loan debt and offering free public college

Why though when we could borrow another trillion for bombing brown people instead? That's what real nationalism is about, right?

Anyway, sarcasm aside, this will be Donald's 2020 competitor. You better take her seriously. Calling her Pocahontas won't be good enough.

Elizabeth Warren proposes canceling student loan debt and offering free public college

The proposal would cancel up to $50,000 in debt for people with annual household income under $100,000. Beyond that income threshold, smaller amounts of debt would be canceled, but no one with more than $250,000 in household income would be eligible.

To keep students from accumulating more debt in the future, Warren also proposes making two- and four-year public colleges tuition free, according to a plan unveiled in advance of a Monday evening CNN town hall focused on issues of interest to young voters.

With a price tag of $1.25 trillion over 10 years, Warren’s higher-education initiatives up the ante on an issue that most 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have been trying to address in more modest ways.
Why? Because she's promising more free stuff than any of the other candidates? We do know how much she values higher education considering she would lie and cheat to get into college. Hell, she'd even steal from underprivileged young people in order to further her own education.
 
Sure cancel their debt so they don't have to pay back the money they borrowed.

Free my ass. We tax payers will be footing the bills.

We will all be dead before being personally impacted by the national debt. I think if we set up young people for the future and actually do good with that money we borrow they will forgive us. Empowering young people is how we stop China from taking over the world. Anybody that would oppose that effort is no true nationalist.
Like it, or not, China is taking over the world. They are not crippling themselves with stupidity.

Oh for fucks sake, we don't want to throw gasoline on the problem. Students are borrowing ridiculous sums of money to purchase degrees that are not worth the price. If they were they would be able to get a job and pay off their loans HELLO! The price of the degrees must come down.
If we could get government out of the student loan process and let the price of an education fall back into the open market, we'd see the price of degrees fall. But as long as the government guarantees student loans, the universities will continue to charge exorbitant fees instead of competing for the student dollar, like they should.
 
nothing should be free, or every slacker looking for an excuse to smoke weed and get drunk for 4 years is going on the dole.

there has to be skin in the game. not some token skin, real, 'this is costing me some blood', skin.

trade it for unpaid military service.
trade it for community service at the rate of X dollars an hour towards their bill.
trade it for something meaningful that repays, in economic terms, what they've pulled out.

Deal with the cost element also. The education racket is out of control already and 'free college' would only ring the dinner bell for those greedy bastards....
 
“I will say anything to get your vote.” You want a car? “I will get you a new car for free!” You want to pay zero rent for a new condo? “Done”. You want to make $340 an hour? “ I can do it!” You wanna renounce your citizenship and become an Native American? “ I can help with that too!” She is the all-purpose candidate that has a snowballs chance in hell of being nominated or elected President.
The real problem is the constituency that would vote for such a lying, cheating, SOS. And all for empty promises of "free" stuff.

----------------------------------------- OK with me , make college open and FREE to all and I think that college education becomes more worthless than it already is .
 
All student loan debt should be forgiven. Then make the billionaires pay for it. Special tax on Bezos, Gates, Buffet, and the little Facebook dork.

Punish the wealthy. Penalize the wealthy. When all else fails, tap into class warfare and hinder what makes America great - past, present, and future.
What made America the greatest was the greatest generation and a 90 and then 70% top tax rate, super duper. you idiots want to go back to the gilded age which was the last time we had this kind of inequality and Injustice. There is a reason all tax systems have been progressive. Not just federal income tax, super duper. Google the only tax graph you need to know, and you will see we have an actually flat tax system right now, with everyone paying between 20 and 30% in all taxes, for the middle class and the country going to hell. Only BS propaganda and silly Dupes like you make it possible ..

they're already pissed off at the current state of affairs in the country and you want to compound it by handing them a shitter world cause you'll be dead and gone and not give a shit?

nice.

I think it'll be a better world when education isn't putting people into severe debt.
When we quit selling "higher" education as the only way to get ahead. We need more craftsmen (persons?) and trades-people.

The biggest impediment to college kids having the freedom to use what they have spent millions of dollars on (college tuition) is crushing tuition debt.

Imagine the explosion of talent if those kids were freed from that. Imagine the boost to the economy?

Imagine the explosion of debt we tax payer will be stuck paying.

No thanks. You want to go to college then pay for it yourself.

You take out a loan for college. Then YOU pay it back.

I'm not interested in paying off someone else's loan.
 

Making decent money teaching at an Ivy League college makes her a hypocrite for wanting to help young people with their student loan debt?
Decent money? That's a pretty indecent amount for someone who's advocating free education for all. If we're going to be socialists, let's go all the way. University professors will be paid the same minimum wage that all other professionals are paid. Education for the professions is "free", too! Good ol' Pocahontas has figured it all out, though...under communist rule, the only folks who are well off are the party apparatchiks.

I agree.
College doesn't always mean your going to get the best or best paying job.

Electricians, carpenters, welders and plumbers along with many other trades are always needed and they pay big money.

These people are always needed.

No, it isn’t. It’s flat out irresponsible to pile on that kind of debt on top of the 22 trillion this country already owes. It’s mortgaging our future even more to win votes from idiots like you today.
They should investigate why college tuition is so high.
Are the students being ripped-off?
Yes. And so is the government insuring those loans. But government programs are notoriously stupid.

Sure. Why not? They are a bunch of crooks anyway.

If they are crooks, work the due process. Policies rooted in class warfare or otherwise tapping into the sin of envy among the masses for wealth transfer never fares well except for a true 1 percent.
Lol. Terribly naive. These billionaires are above any kind of justice you and I know of.

If they weren’t such fucking psychopaths, they would gladly pay off all the student loans. It would be a fraction of their wealth.
Why would they do that?
 
How is paying for college for some ungrateful millennial going to pay off for me?

If you want to go to college then you invest in yourself don't ask me to invest in your education unless you can guarantee me an actual return
Simple minds think alike.

So why don't you start a go fund me to get other people to pay for your kids' college?

Let's see hw many people actually want to pay for college for other peoples' kids


Ohhhh! You stumped me with major simple!!

It's so simple you can't answer the question I guess

What do I get for footing the bill for some other's person's kid to go to college?

An educated populace with the skills needed for today's jobs and a greatly increased tax base far into the future.

That's what we all get for footing the bill for our fellow Americans to become highly educated and skilled.

Think beyond your simpleton schnozz, ya weirdo.

And you think the only way to be educated is to pay a hundred grand on college?

The fact is that only 40% of college freshmen get a degree in 4 years

and you do realize that degrees have different values don't you?

How many baristas have a bachelor's degree and can't do anything but make fancy designs in latte foam?

Paid for by 2% on over $300000000 income?
It's going to kill me

Now you're on to deflection and can't bring up an argument. typical

I'm not deflecting. I'm waiting for an intelligent comment.
You get what you give

Incorrect.

Absolutely correct.

If you want an intelligent discussion then start with an intelligent premise.

Stupid snarky comments get you just that in return
