A group of congressional Democrats introduced a resolution on Tuesday seeking to ensure that students who attend public colleges and universities can graduate without debt.
The Senate resolution was introduced by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), while Reps. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) introduced the House version.
The lawmakers support plans to increase financial aid, help states lower tuition and make it possible for students to earn degrees in less time.
In a statement, they noted that the cost of college has increased by 300 percent over the last 30 years and that when students graduate with debt, it has negative effects on the economy.

On Tuesday, Warren called that debt "crushing."

Everyone under 107 years old should get to go for free and get PAID if they take Afrocentric, hairstyle oriented, privilege examining, multigender, multi color, studies, with a minor studying the effect that EVERY part of our ecosystem has on the future of EVERY SINGLE species of plant and animal. .
Oh. And how to kill whitey
Free tuition for Transgender African-American studies! With a minor in horticulture!
We need to sever the connection between Government money and academia. We also need to let market forces destroy that cadre of left wing agents. For those people who can learn with online videos, they should be able to receive credit.
This isn't rocket science. We can crank out diplomas with more efficiency and we don't have to pay left wing cranks who hate us!
Let’s take from taxpayers and pay for a good liberal indoctrination at the “gubmint center for for getting your mind right”.
The three areas with the highest rate of inflation are education, housing, and health care.
The three areas with the most government interference are education, housing, and health care.
The obvious solution to too much government is more government. It’s so obvious! /s
They should just issue everyone a doctorate degree at birth.
The fastest way to lower college costs is to drastically cut the number of college administrators and to drastically cut the salaries of faculty. Yes, I am all for reduced or free tuition.
And, as you might guess, they don't employ useless leftwing professors teaching __xyz___ Studies or other fluff courses.
Free college.
The degree will be worth 1/100th of what is paid for it.
There’s also the college in Berea, KY
Sure, why not? Since the Dems FAIL at indoctrinating all kids from K-12 they need 4-5 more years to truly get their brains “right”.
I hate liberals. I really wish they’d all drop dead and rot in hell and take a few GOPe aholes with them.
Other than the fact that their professors and devotees aren't interest in working?
"Democrats Introduce Resolution Calling For Debt-Free Public College"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
This is another 17th Amendment-related issue. The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate schooling purposes.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And the Founding States had expected federal senators uniquely elected by state lawmakers to protect the interests of their states in Congress by killing unconstitutional House appropriations bills.
In this example however, corrupt members of the House are evidently trying to win votes from low-information, voting age students by relying on popularly elected senators who also want to win votes from low-information students. And these Constitution-ignoring senators are working in cahoots with crook representatives to buy votes from students using stolen state revenues.
The problem is that voting age students go back to their dormitories after voting for their favorite federal senators and watch football, oblivious to the major problem that their corrupt senators are working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional appropriations bills in order to use stolen state revenues to buy votes from students.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
This has one purpose: to make Republicans look like the bad guy.
Gibsme my tuition money paid in full back.
It will be just like my debt-free, inexpensive Obamacare!
