Elizabeth Warren clashes with Iowa father who calls her student loan policy unfair
Yahoo! ^ | January 23, 2020 | Oliver O'Connell

Elizabeth Warren was confronted by an angry father at a campaign event in Iowa by an angry father who took issue with her plan to forgive student loan debts.

Arguing that those who paid for college tuition themselves would be “screwed” by her proposal, he confronted the Democratic senator on Monday at a presidential campaign town hall in Grimes, Iowa.

Having waited patiently in line for a photo, he said: “I just wanted to ask one question. My daughter is getting out of school. I've saved all my money. She doesn't have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?”

“Of course not,” Senator Warren replied.

Is Warren going to pay reparations to those who slaved away to pay their own way though college?

"Of course not." She says.

I’d love to see her reaction to this question:

What about professors who are paid way more than they should be such as $400,000 to teach one class?

That’s the dirty little secret.

Until people rise up against the insanely expensive college paradigm, academia is going to keep cranking out new, socialist robots.

Are the professors in favor of making no money to teach at the colleges? If everything is free how do they get paid?

Both Sanders and Warren are angry proabortion, prosodomy anti-Christ sociologists.

Just like the housing bubble in 2007, the “higher-education” bubble of tuitions and ever-increasing debt are a government phenomenon.

Warren of course proposes nothing to stop the debt-wave gravy-train going to the leftist education-industrial complex.

Medical Bill’s wiped us out years ago.

We covered my son’s Associate’s degree, but his BA and law school are on him.

He knows this and is planning accordingly.

It's not just overpaid professors.

Entire departments, which are completely unnecessary, along with useless indoctrination programs, are being financed by students' tuition fees.

When are parents going to rebel against this ridiculous fleecing that passes for higher education? Enough is enough!

Not to mention “Development” departments whose job is to keep swelling endowment funds.

We paid my was through college. I worked summers at a glass plant in Okla where it was 104-106 outside and 110 inside. No AC. Just fans blowing hot air and salt pills at the water fountains. I had a $1K loan every year plus one summer. I couldn’t get federal student loans, because my folks, dirt poor, made ‘too much money’. I had about $6k in loans to replay when I graduated in 1973. We repaid it in full, on time. In today’s dollars it would be about $57K, adjusted for inflation. Not even adjusting for if it had been invested, etc. It wasn’t fun or easy to repay that money. We both worked. We lived in a tiny cheap apartment with rented furniture and husband had a 1967 VW bug. We didn’t have 2 quarters to rub together.

We paid for our 3 kids to go to college. Youngest one cost us $75K a year at a small private college that didn’t do ‘in state tuition’. We scrimped, we did without, We didn’t buy a new car for ourselves from 1995 - 2011. WE drove a 1996 Plymouth van we bought in 1995 until you would think it wouldn’t run, looked like it was falling apart, because it was. The cloth lining in the ceiling was held up by huge safety pins, etc.

So none of our kids have college loans to worry about. After how much stress it was paying my way through college and trying to make good, better than good grades... we didn’t want our kids to go through that.

I figure youngest son’s college cost us $75K a year from 2007-2011. Plus one summer. Plus the years before he enrolled in that private college, he was in college. It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t $75K a year.

Oldest son went to U of H. Daughter graduated from U.T. I didn’t add up the total but it now costs $60K to go to UT for a year, they said on Austin TV.

So we paid my way. My husband’s parents paid his way. But with NO extra spending money, we were expected to STUDY! THen we paid our kids’ college. So Miss E. W. where do I go to get my college funds back? About a million might be a good start. She pisses me off.

“its a business, and they can pay their employees what ever they wish.”

Not exactly. It is financed by federal money since 2009 when Obama had the government take over the student loan business.

The cost of tuition is up way beyond the rate of inflation

The cost is put into kids who have no choice but to attend college.they are being taken advantage of terribly.

The president of Baylor for example makes 4 to 5 million per year. For what?

Who chooses to pay that? The business? The customer- the student? Certainly not
