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

[Kilroy2]

Well one side are those who have student debt that includes parents and children

The other side says well if more people go to college will this increase the number of educated people in the US and fill those high tech jobs

Then the antidepressant side says "fill in the quote"

 

[gipper]

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 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.

WTF is eduction?

Silly Jilly don’t need no education.

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.

I won't shed a tear if they get taxed to oblivion even if the money is spent wastefully.

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

Bezos, Zuckerberg and Dorsey thank you for your undying support while they work tirelessly to destroy everything conservative America stands for

 

[FA_Q2]

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.

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.

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.

I know. How dare those wealthy people steal all that money from the poor. As they get more wealth, the rest of us sink ever deeper into poverty:

Well, at least if you ignore every iota of data that exists out there.



Billionaires wealth is growing ever faster. Ironically, the level of world poverty is dropping at an increased rate as well. I guess the fleecing argument is bullshit.

Yes everything is peaches and cream.

You think this absurd concentration of wealth is acceptable. I don’t know how that is possible.

In 2017 EIGHT MEN OWNED HALF THE WORLD’S WEALTH. EIGHT MFers!!!

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.

I never blamed the victim. I simply provided an observation. I don’t fault people. When you say Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, your assumption is they are keeping almost or all of their paycheck and everything is going to by bread, rent, and healthcare across the board. I assure you that is not the case. I am not a 1 percenter yet I am benefiting from a Capitalist economy as are the American poor comparatively speaking. You will be really sorry when a real 1 percent exists with no opportunity to move up; violence or no violence.

It’s not about you or me. I too have done okay.

If this outrageous income inequality continues, there will be blood. The billionaires know it, which is why they are doing all they can to protect themselves.

Some think there will be a day soon when one man owns half the world’s wealth.

Yet, there are people dying of starvation. This is unacceptable.

How do we stop wealth consolidation without destroying the incentive to invest, take risks, etc?

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 ..

Go ahead and push your people to run on a 70 percent tax rate. They won’t.

Bernie Sanders wants 52% about what Reagan had success with before he f***** the whole thing with 28% on the way out....

 

[gallantwarrior]

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.

So, the fed will pay themselves in order to pay off all the student loans they guaranteed?

Why stop there...
Cancel Mortgage debt, car loans, credit card debt,
give everyone free houses, cars and whatever their hearts desire
reimburse everyone who has paid off student loans
and reimburse everyone who has paid for public college

I like Warren; she is as bold as Trump!
Did Mexico agree to build the wall ?????

Free PUBLIC college education is a win for economic equality, but ONLY students qualified for college should be admitted.
Works in Germany.
Of course, the upper 1% will have to pay for this EDUCATION for ALL (qualified) policy.
Yeah!!

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?

As it was, as it is, as it always will be. Some have incredible wealth, some have little, some are dirt poor. Even social systems touted to distribute wealth "equitably" inevitably end with a small elite class ruling the greatest majority who struggle to make ends meet.
