Elizabeth Warren's plan to cancel most student debt and make tuition free at public colleges is reopening a fight about the fairest way to make college more affordable

Washington Elizabeth Warren's new plan to cancel most student debt and make tuition free at public colleges is reopening a fight about the fairest way to make college more affordable.

The Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential candidate this week proposed using her tax on America's richest families to radically reshape US higher education, and forgive outstanding student loans -- which top credit card and auto loan debt. Her plan would exclude the wealthiest borrowers from getting any debt relief. But -- just as when independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders proposed making tuition free during his 2016 Democratic presidential bid, or when New York Democratic Gov.

I told you she's clueless. It's gradually unravelling. Anyway it's good to make a little noise.

Best way to deal with college debt is stop pushing everyone into college and stop allowing them to offer degrees have no real work application in the workforce

By stopping the cycle of tuition increases and Federal subsidies.....

You pay for it.

DEMOCRATS AND CHEAP TRICKS . . THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN . . DO YOU WANT TO SEND EVERY DEADBEAT KID TO COLLEGE AND PAY FOR IT

MonopointAmy If we want college to be more affordable they need to get rid of the over paid administrators. The ones in the big houses paid for from the exorbitant tuitions charged our youth.

She’s essentially saying that educators sold customers (students) a defective product. I won’t support any debt forgiveness without a full independent investigation into the institutions that received the money, including how much of the funds was spent on actual tuition.

her plan is not realistic-stop promising Americans things that will not happen to get votes-she has lied in the past re: her heritage

Making college more affordable? How bout not incurring debt, if you have no idea how to repay it. Or pick a major, which can actually provide you with a profession to repay it. Start out at a community college or voc. school, which can be semi affordable.

She has a' magic wound' !! Trump2020Landslide

Wouldn't want those whiny ass babies to learn how to handle money They already cant walk and chew gum at the same time

No such thing as free

Reducing or eliminating student debt is a great idea & there should be some relief in the form of a tax credit or an education savings account credit for further education (available to anyone in their household) for the people who have already repaid predatory student loans.

How about eliminating athletic scholarships and using that money to put true academic performers through school?

How about not sending everyone to college. Career training can mean a lot of things, like trade school. Too many people either never finish, or end up with a meaningless degree and debt. But it is debt they promised to pay. Pochahontes is just pandering with other people’s money

Spoiler alert: focus on why tuitions at private colleges are so high. Why did Harvard pay Elizabeth Warren $430,000 to teach? Why are endowments at or approaching billions?

Only the beginning. Though it's wrong, it'll spread to other debt as well.

Cut academic salaries for the top 10%!!

You go girl! 3

You first have to admit that college is a money making scam first,a debt generator second,and education third.

Just what we need more people with basketweaving degrees, A.K.A. Liberal Arts degree.

Americans really don’t like free stuff huh? Free education, free healthcare... but you’re happy to pay for Trumps golf trips and his children’s wages 💁🏻‍♀️

2 yrs community service using your degree & getting paid to work in some of the most rural, poor areas of our country

Is it re-opening a “fight” (maybe it’s a debate not a fight anyway), or is it jurt the idea of a candidate on the margin trying to get a leg up in an ugly fight ?

Her people already have casinos, why can't they use that money?

Wouldn't it be easier just to give every high school graduate a college degree ? I paid for my college while I worked for it. If these students spent less time protesting and partying, maybe they'd graduate sooner without the debt. Maybe if they worked for what they wanted...

'free' The word Socialists use to lie. Nothing is FREE. Will the professors work for free? Will the power companies light the Unis for free? Will the buildings be built and maintained for free? Of course not, unless you mean to have slave labor. Is that the end goal?

Make belief talk by the so called native Indian fake ewarren

Thank you, Elizabeth Warren.

The student loan system is also b loaded up with fraud. People taking out loans and then not attending school, spending the money with no intent to pay it back.

Pocahontas ewarren, you and AOC belong in a FARM where COWS & MICE Sing - HAY HO & HOO HAA !!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So you want to flood the job market with thousands of college educated graduates in the work force? Last I checked, if you give a company a surplus of employees they treat them like low wage replaceable tools.

The fairest way to make college affordable is eliminate for-profit education. Make college free to those who can get into college. If you open up all the spots routinely given to every Dick and Nancy with a trust fund, you'll find education going to those who truly deserve it

It's also alienating a lot of 'former' Republicans looking to make the switch over to the Democrats.

Good! About Damn time!

INDOCTRINATED NATION ! What happened to being responsible citizen-work & safe? Gov. assist NEVER used to be an option for Americans. Hint: when gov. pays bills, universities will hike the price even more !!!! Gov has no $ but only our taxes. Price is freedom - NOTHING IS FREE

Umm yeah tell colleges they can’t charge as much or raise the tuition. I love how they want to get rid of all health insurance companies but somehow find away to pay for college with government funds but not lower the cost.

How about free tech school training starting in high school?

Fight about fairness? What’s unfair, is sending kids out after graduation with crippling debt and entry level salaries that have barely increased to meet the standard of living in most cities.

Make college free ...... THEN I'll vote. Campaign promises are like assholes ......

Perfect 🏃🏃keep going ewarren ❤

Or we could all just lie about our ethnicity like she did to get favored status for perquisites.

What she is planning to do is fair.

Lmao

♥️🙋🏼‍♂️

Great move

Yes Elizabeth! Why are we the only country that can't get with the program.

Nice job ewarren 👏💪 Thank you 🌹❤️
