This is an idea Dems float out constantly. They have no intention of actually DOING anything about it, but they harvest votes from the hopeful.

If they actually delivered on this or several other promises, they’d need to come up with something new to dangle for the next election.

This is fail. They are going to tax on a persons worth. I can see many many buildings suddenly worth 1 dollar.

They will eventually do something about this, as more and more of the borrowers are non-whites. They are in a race to squeeze as much out of the dwindling white population as possible before it disappears or ceases to be an economic force, because if it takes to long they will be asking black, brown and yellow people to foot the tuition bills for black, brown, and yellow students/borrowers.

This is what is also adding urgency to the “reparations” nonsense/proposed theft; the window of opportunity is slowly closing, considering that several years ago they told us more white people were dying every day than being born. Ageing childless whites are already leaving their financial legacies to pets and other causes du jour; the racial hucksters want those funds.

Sure. Take money from the older, working folks and give it to the young ones who have a whole lifetime of voting ahead of them. They are too stupid to know that you took from their older selves to give to their younger selves. (The people who got the money are going to have to work harder to pay the taxes that went to them when they were young.)

Most people are too catatonically moronic to challenge the claim that they are going to get something for nothing.

Yes, I agree. Those who paid for others’ college through taxes should be reimbursed, as well as those who actually paid for their own college and/or paid off their student loans as they committed to do, when they were taken out.

There will be quite a bit of accounting to be sure everyone who deserves these benefits are paid.

It just doesn’t seem right that only those who REFUSE to pay their student loans (and all of the overpaid professors and college administrators) should be the only ones to benefit from the largess of Warren and the DNC.

What about repaying all those who paid for their college? I mean, let’s be fair.

Student reparations...for all!! I went to school for 14 years and my parents and I payed taxes. They and I are owed BIG TIME!

If the millennials want to enroll in indentured servitude of of Founding Fathers’ day for 20 - 30 years, it’s their business. Nanny Warren will have to find a job somewhere else.

Make the teachers work for free. That’ll cover it.

She has zero education in economics.

She has never had a career outside of politics.

Her husband and she have a net worth of between 4 and 11 million dollars

Her husband is a college professor

Can we have a break? Can people just google this and think about who is telling the American people how to manage money?

Tuition went up out of control after the government took over. Cause and effect way more than most likely

How did she and her second husband get between 4 and 11 million dollars?

Why don’t they report what exactly it is they are worth? 4 or 11?

“Make the teachers work for free. That’ll cover it.”

They sure want medical professionals working for free. They want them to take a 40% cut in earnings

No. Warren’s husband is a college professor

She is a senator. Her salary as such is from 174 to 193 K

Where do they get 11 million dollars?

Here’s a solution... Setup a raffle/lottery and sell tickets to anyone who believes somebody else should foot their bill for past educational debts. The winner gets his educational expenses paid out of the raffle proceeds and contributors provide the pool. No government tax money is involved unless the participant is subsidized.

No free raffle tickets. One winner weekly, all others lose. Party like it’s 1999 and quit bitching about always losing. Guaranteed you’ll win if you live long enough. No play, no win rule of life applies.

Some variation of this idea might be necessary but I’ll bet it’s so simple even a Democrat could do it. Might work for descendants of ex-slaves and similar situations too.

If confused, consult your accountant, lawyer, politician for further details. In the meantime, GOOD LUCK! /s

You get a free college education but you will be a slave to the government the rest of your life.

Holders of useless degrees, who don’t want to pay for their student loans, probably like fauxcahontas’ “ideas”.

But surely people who have not yet fallen into that CF are starting to realize that non-stem college degrees are pretty much worthless and are already seriously looking into community colleges and trade schools for dollar and skills-acquired value.

I think this calls for “reparations”.

>
Does she mention that nearly 90% of the $1.5 trillion in debt that students owe is to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

Cheap government loans simply flowed through the pockets of students and parents into the massive bubble that is our left-wing education-industrial complex (and a key leftist voting and social-engineering bloc)

It is the government and its political-interventionist policies that caused this.

Correction: Owe to the TAXPAYER. Fedzilla doesn’t have a pot to piss in, let alone $$ to (illegally) “lend”
