FOR A SMALL FEE IN AMERIKA!..................
Why student debt and not medical expense debt, or mortgage debt?
Until the bill comes due (which many mediocre and unprepared students are now learning).
Heck, why stop there? Credit card debt!
or gambling debt?......................Some Italian guys get pretty antsy when it gets due............
Good idea, you know, for your "friend" who might benefit :)
This will require a new Dept of Higher Education to be established with 10,000 new Federal employees. Bank on it.
Universities around the country are now probably licking their chops to raise tuition $12,500 per year to take advantage.
Who would ever want to leave college? The new career path will be to graduate at 65 and immediately go on Social Security. :)
Unfortunately, this message resonates with way too many Americans. Not just the poor or the crazy liberals. It resonates with the middle class. They want a bunch of free s__t too paid for by “the rich.” Way too many Americans think they can have free health care and free college and free everything and that “the rich” can pay for it all if they just pay their “fair share” of taxes. Its the laziness and sense of entitlement created by the Welfare State.
Evert democrats speech is like visitors day at Hotel California.
It's the lack of education provided by our 'free' primary education system. You get what you pay for..............
Free at last- Free at last! Thank God Almighty, everything is free at last!
It’s goal is to draw Millenials off the couch to go and vote Dem.
It will likely succeed in that.
The students will ultimately pay for it through the government debt.
Now they got my vote. Wow. Like AOC said "You want to do something just pay it."/s
Just make sure the Free Republic and talk radio listeners and GOP voters pay for this. I'm low on money myself. I want my benefit money. Wow. My whole life changed today./s
In true seriousness:
I live in an apt. complex. I worked since I was about 16 and since 21 full time to age 71.
In my apt. complex there are a number of Section 8s---NOT because I live in a slum. They are forced onto several complexes here.
They get Obamaphones with annual contracts paid, full medical coverage, welfare cash and food money, and about 95% of the housing paid (voucher Section 8). They never worked a day and are not disabled. I went past them on the way to work every lousy day for years and they loafed. I hate them.
That’s a toss up between Bernie and AOC...as far as smarts go.
One aspect of student loan reform that I would support: colleges and universities should be responsible for a fraction of the loans that are defaulted by their students.
The advising students receive would likely be different in many cases if universities knew that they would be liable for students with huge debt after graduating from unemployable majors.
Looks like Elizabeth Warren has decided she does not want to be president!
