Sen. Elizabeth Warren is proposing using taxpayer money to wipe out hundreds of billions of dollars in student-loan debt as a way to control rising college costs.
The proposal, which the Democratic presidential candidate would pay for by increasing taxes on high-wealth households, steers the bulk of debt relief toward people whom Ms. Warren views as least likely to be able to repay their loans.
Free education passes the grade, undercuts achievement and produces a no put reform on the recruiting bench. We love careers but hate League. Go go it’s my turn run let him in turn and burn.
I call BULLSHIT.... These colleges are state run businesses and she does not control their operations. They are not federal government entities she can dictate.
Vieja zorra
LIZ WARREN IS JUST USING THE OLD 'GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT' POLICY . . FOLLOW BERNIE . . FREE STUFF - FREE STUFF - FREE - FREE
SenWarren So you want taxpayers to pay for this twice? Why don't you ask the colleges and universities for it seeing as they are the ones who benefited greatly by the Federal Government taking over student lending. You of all people should be aware of this. PUTZ!!!
no way. We all vote against your plan.
So does buttercup’s plan result in me paying more in taxes than I currently pay for my child to attend a 4 yr US public college? Her 15 minutes needs to end & she just needs to go away
Did she put the bill in the Senate or is she just talking about this on her campaign?
And just like that, she lost her race for the election before it began.
We need a candidate with a broader vision, unless Liz wants Dept of education job. Devos is a total lunkhead. Liz for Sec. Of Education...yay....go Liz
Is she still running?!? Wasn’t paying attention haha
SenWarren will say anything to get further left of Bernie and get some traction. She also wants to require all businesses to get a permit from the Feds to do business. Complete government control over business— that is a really scary proposition. SenWayTooFarLeft Socialism
Put it in a bill and pass it. Stop talking about it
She's going to pick up the tab.
Good luck with smoke & mirrors Warrenbuffoon!
Vote buying at its worst. Warren has gone from reparations for Indians so she can claim her share to reparations to reparations for other groups to now debt forgiveness for educational debt. Country is $22 trillion in debt & leftist socialist DEMS want to buy votes for $$$.
No no and no. This is too much. We need a moderate to win
She’s desperately dying for some millennial traction
joshjame No shame in her game. People already paying high tuitions should pay down others debt? Typical lib
Warren has tons of proposals on how to spend your dollars.
Oi
Princess Panderer.
Who in their right mind would agree to take taxpayers money to finance a massive increase in oppressive communist propaganda. We've already got too many people with useless degrees and heads full of shit.
Called “oh crap anything to help me in the polls”
just, no.
Was there a Full Moon yesterday? Pocahontas is definitely a loon!
The race to offer more free shit to millennials also known as the democratic primaries
When you get something for free you stop valuing it. Be prepared for record drop out rates and useless majors, high unemployment.
She wants to make her Angry Vagina puppet workshop for free? Garbage Liberal Arts academia is illegal State Sponsored Church for liberal Ideology. LIBERAL RELIGION!
ewarren also proposes a free unicorn for each student
Of course it does
Buying votes with the taxpayer’s money. How trite.
People will take that education and get the hell out of the USA to avoid her exorbitant taxes! She’s no good for America. The US is already slipping in global rankings of business friendliness. She won’t help.
The people may not agree with this idea of bailing out the college students. They created their own mess so, let them correct their own mess without the people doing it for them. ♀️
Here it goes again higher taxes; eventually, we will paying 75% in taxes !
How is that going to be paid for? Where are the details? Another harebrained idea foisted on the public.
This is from the woman who charged $700,000 to teach 1 class, over two years, at Harvard.
It worked for her. ,,,,why not claim to be an Indian
I would rather have the Freedom Dividend being pushed by Yang than proposals for free college.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Socialism
We need to fix the tuition problem. It is totally out of hand but there just might be other solutions if we spend a reasonable amount of time working on it instead of ignoring it. problems caused by HLC demands and the institutions ability to apply for loans FOR the student.
Why? Why should I pay more taxes to erase other's debt? You benefited from it you pay!
Pandering to the college loan crowd with no plan on how to pay for it. Non-starter from a loser candidate.
This is not equitable. It's aimed at young voters. Choose issues that apply to all Americans.
Nothing is free 😜
So, will I get to pay for college again? Not for MY kids! I've already done that.💳💳 She's going to allow me a do-over?! Maybe for a 'refusing to work' kind of situation? TOAST
ewarren is embarrassing.
Sounds nice, at what expense$$ free schooling must take Russian or Chinese as a primary language?
In desperation she tries to buy votes by transferring wealth from savers to irresponsible borrowers. Is this the best America has to offer?
So glad to hear that all those working in higher education have decided to abandon their salaries for the good of the country. I’m certain with the huge influx of students (who love free things), there will be a line of new faculty and staff looking to work for free.
A more modest proposal would make sense, but increasing the Federal Deficit by trillions of dollars is the same wrong headed notion that the Republicans have already embraced. They act as if there were no consequences to carrying an ever skyrocketing debt burden.
Never did understand why tax funded colleges charge tuition. Just like public schools.
So govt takes over student loans causing universities to raise prices as they please, and now you propose for taxpayers to write off those loans? Hell no. Give it back to responsible banks who will show discretion.Endorse vocational schools. Not everyone needs a degree.
Just check off American Indian on application. Worked for her!
How about we focus on stopping the inflation of tuition prices? Especially for out of state tuition. Some schools charge double and even close to triple their in state tuition for the out of state.
Oh hell no. Put student loans back with banks. Solves the issue.
Liberals must be very very haters and believe anything about free things from Big Government could help them. Always lying and spending other taxpayers money. What happens when they run out other people money
Another example of Democrats and their higher taxes obsession
Baaaad idea. 👎🏽
Translation - your taxes, and government-incurred debt will pay for it. More “free” stuff from the left, paid for by the right. NOTHING is ever “free”. The cost comes from restricted personal freedom to everyone. Thus, this is a very bad idea. Socialism has NEVER worked.
This women is a borderline mental case. Thank god she has no shot of winning the presidency.
Wasn’t she in “Wizard of Oz”.
Mrs. Claus handing out goodies.
Pandering and fishing for votes. Earning a useful college degree part of the learning process.
Pocahontas
She’s just trying to outdo Harris with a vote buying scheme.
Too far. But tax cuts for the top while growing massive deficits is just giving away free stuff. It’s called not paying your bills. How about starting w/no interest loans instead of 8% on student debt & free 2 year community college w/1 year of service to U.S. upon completion?
What a stupid lady!
So very stupid.
Another political stunt people’s!! Don’t be a sucker...
Was she drinking beer again
Force other people to pay for your education. Suppose you do not want to go to college. You still pay for someone else to get an art history degree.
So what's next, car loans, home loans, & oh course credit card debt. You know it's all going to an evil bank anyway. They can afford it.
In other words, raise taxes so that the working class can pay for it.
Who’s paying?
Continuing the trend of making 4 years of high school even more inconsequential and guaranteed to make college more expensive -- to taxpayers.
Not everyone has to go to college; who’s going to run our factories? Anything that is free is ultimately worthless.
And a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
if anything - Should be a flat payment to all - not everyone chooses to go to college and to buy into that system and way of life... How is this remotely fair to those who CHOSE not to spend money in this direction? Were these folks forced to buy loans?Do any of them have CABLE?
So then there probably will be a limit how often you can do that. If it is free people will study 10 times. In Germany it’s free but you can’t study more often.
Just election year pandering for votes.
Dems are getting desperate....free this, free that...Might as well give out free Tesla’s and free houses while they’re at it😐
Fauxchantas makes $500k a year for teaching at Harvard. One way to reduce tuition is to pay her a much LOWER salary
You know this is introducing more moral hazard into the system as people start racking up debt hoping it will be canceled.
All those tenured professors at Harvard who thought she was the greatest thing all just hour fired or saw their salaries chopped ...karma
Great ...more free entitlements to bribe votes ....what’s next ?
Will that also include being allowed to lie about the heritage in order to enter an Ivy league ?
I would expect a Financial Paper to write - “her proposal punishes the degrees most wanted by the free market and rewards those least wanted. creating a glut of degrees undervalued by the market, suppressing their future wages. The Senator ignores the law of supply and demand”
. Better to invest in trade schools for those who will not succeed in university life
If this happens I would like reimbursement for paying my children's college education. My wife and I sacrificed to make this happen!
look there’s ways you can help with college costs but this plan that she’s got is absolutely crazy!
Higher education will quickly become lower education standards and the plight of Venezuela will be the future of the US FreeIsCostly
We already have free public education. Try making a high school diploma valuable again and reintroduce trades to the curriculum. MakeHighSchoolGreatAgain
Great initiative. Investing in the long term future of our youth is always great to any country to flourish and sustain a positive economical outcome.
And of course all liberal professors and college employees will work for free too. RIGHT 🤔
So to give 'free' college seniors and middle class will pay higher taxes so kids they don't know can go to college AFTER THEY already pay for their own kids college. Yeah, that'll work.
oh goody, then everyone can just go to college for 'FREE' and the colleges go bankrupt because no one pays them. want to control tuition costs, get the government out of the student loan business, DA Obama.
Join the Military. It’s already a Government Funded way to go to college for free. It worked for me.
Senator Warren,who's going to pay for all free tuitions?
ewarren lives in a socialist's fantasy world. WE DON'T WANT socialism in the USA. She and Bernie just don't get it. We want to work, pay, earn, prosper, not pay high taxes (we ALL will pay not their fantasy 1%) to give everyone a handout.
Fake Pocahontas
hmm...so according to dems I don't need to pay for food, healthcare or education....seems more and more like a zoo...we all are fed and taken care of...whilst losing our freedom little by little...
Unless you are not fighting against Smoking, Alcoholism, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex & Extramarital Affairs. .......Our AMERICA can't Improve. GROW-UP.......Don't live in Fool's Paradise.
This sounds amazing
EVERY time I see one of these Demwits' proposals on FreeStuffForAll it reminds me of that great line by Richard Pryer: 'I'm here to buy your vote.' In the 2020 Dem election vote for: ✅NONE OF THE ABOVE
This requires heavy taxes and the destruction of factories and an increase in unemployment
So debt relief will be based on household income? Doesn’t sound like “free college for all” to me. 🤔
UBI ar $5000 per month will be next....
How does college address current market skills gap?
Property values UP 20% (past 12 mo) in the distressed neighborhoods designated opportunity zones by Trumps's Community Reinvestment Act. More proof that it is working.
Why doesn't she just unveil her 'Everyone is an Indian' proposal so that every American can receive an Affirmative Action based college scholarship?
You go Lizzy...back to you padded room.
The left is tripping over itself to offer things for 'free' as if they won't actually cost taxpayers.
This woman is a big fraud.... Pocahontas
How?
Americans hate publicly funded education for all.
