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

[gallantwarrior]

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.

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.

How is that incorrect?

 

[gallantwarrior]

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....

Not to mention that everyone will become "qualified" to higher education, regardless of their ability. Talk about dumbing down an educational institution.

 

[gallantwarrior]

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?

Or get elected to public office by an ignorant electorate hellbent on getting all the "free" stuff they can?

 

[conserveguy877]

Goofy Warren who lied about her heritage back at it again!

 

[irosie91]

can I get the money that I PAID BACK?

 

[gallantwarrior]

Punish the wealthy. Penalize the wealthy. When all else fails, tap into class warfare and hinder what makes America great - past, present, and future.

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?

If I had billions, I would. Do you not wish to help your fellow man?

Besides relieving student loan debt, will allow many to now afford buying homes, cars, saving for retirement, etc.

If you had billions, that would be your prerogative to spend them any way you wanted. If I had billions, it would be up to me to choose what to do with them. Why aren't you demanding that all those wealthy congress-critters surrender a percentage of their holdings to pay off these loans?

Many Americans don’t see the fraud being committed on them by the billionaire transnational capitalist class and our corrupt central government. So I have no problem taking the wealth from these bastards.

Do you know eight men own half the wealth of the world? Something like 90% of the worlds wealth is controlled by 300 people. That is fucked up.

 

[Edgetho]

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.

No way, fauxcahontas wins the nomination.

No way.

It will be somebody we've never heard of.

The only way dimocrap FILTH can EVER win a Presidency is by running somebody we've never heard of.

 

[BluesLegend]

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.

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.

Since higher education is a Dem party cash cow fat chance of this happening. Asshole Dem's claim to care about young people yet they are fine with slaving them out to student loan debt to line their own pockets.

When you say "fraud is being committed on Americans", are Americans' personal wealth or pursuit of Economic Prosperity being compromised? Socialism will take personal wealth and pursuit of economic prosperity all under the guise of protecting from billionaires' activities. Thank you but I would rather deal with billionaires in a capitalist economy vs. crony capitalists in a socialist economy. I make more money and enjoy more personal freedom in the former.

I thought as you do...once. No longer. We live in a terribly corrupt system. Income inequality is off the charts.

You may be fine with half of humanity living lives of poverty, while these billionaire cocksuckers gain more wealth and power, I am not.

American poverty or global poverty? You said half of humanity lives of poverty so I assume you mean global poverty. People suffering from global poverty would love the opportunity to be in America.

That sure is nice of of Liz to offer up other people's money to pay off personal debt.

That's how she made all her money. She just wants to share her "good fortune" with others.

No problem
Just cancel all of that cash they're paying to non-citizens.

Don’t worry about t. It’s not like eduction was ever your thing.

Yes global. There certainly is plenty of poverty in the US, however.

I find it appalling that we have so much poverty, yet these billionaires continue to enrich and empower themselves without an iota of concern. Their only concern is making sure they are protected from the masses, should the masses wake up and knock down their doors.

Define poverty in America? Many who live in “poverty” in the US have large screen TVs, cell phones, rent paid for, healthcare paid for, food stamps. Where else can you get that? Where else in the world can one living in a level of poverty make a decision to stay on welfare because it pays more than working? The masses should think who funds that.

You are ignoring the problem and trying to blame the victim.

When 70% of Americans live pay-to-pay check, something isn’t working. We need a system that benefits all Americans not just the 1%. I don’t claim to have the answers and am not promoting a violence but if we continue as we are, I suspect violence is what we will get.
