This does not jazz the Free Crap Caucus whatsoever.

Hold on there, Pardner! Let’s not be too hasty.
To: Libloather
This would be a moderate position, if true. Big gamble for the little guy.

I’m amazed that he managed to come up with a policy position on student debt that probably alienates everyone at the same time in how insane it is.

How would it alienate the poor taxpayer schlubs who are otherwise gonna be on the hook for it?

Oh, sorry—I just read more. It has that offensive means testing crap in it.

The time to go on strike against debt is before you take out the loan.

It’s less offensive than the debt jubilee that Sanders and Warren are calling for.

Fifteen percent ? max out of your paycheck or pay the previously agreed amounts.
It may be in the graduate’s interest to sign up.
To: Shadow44
I think it is a good idea. Kind of like a garnishment for child subsidies.

It would be like the English system, but I assume only a new repayment option.

Bloomers is a banker yes? If so, he just wants to make sure he gets paid, but since the other dems are saying they’ll erase that debt, I am not sure what demographic Bloomers is targeting here.

He is likely targeting the middle class taxpayer who has no interest in paying for some snotnose kid’s Princeton degree in transgender studies. He is setting it up for an independent run.
To: xkaydet65
As long as he doesn’t peel off any votes from the right, I do not care.

Bloomberg is going to burst into flames when people realise what his proposals are.
To: Libloather
Take it out of the endowments of the universities who exploited dumb 18-year olds for their student loans.

Then let’s do that with all debt, no discharge of any debt in bankruptcy court.
