Elizabeth Warren, James Clyburn to release legislation cancelling $50,000 in student loan debt per borrower'The student debt crisis is real and it's crushing millions of people -- especially people of color,' Warren said.

The majority of Americans work hard to earn what they have, so arbitrarily giving deadbeats free-bees is insane. What about TEACHERS who have been legitimately paying for 20 years, and have spent as much as they owe in their classrooms....but can’t get any of the loan forgiven because they consolidated right out of college for lower interest rates?

Where Does Bernie Sanders Stand On Student Loan Debt?Sanders supports debt-free college. But what about current student loan borrowers? havent paid a dime on my student loans What does that even mean? Debt-free college. That mean your neighbors are forced pay...forcing them into debt? Or do we monetize the tuition fees...then have neighbors pay, plus interest on ever-increasing debt? Debt-free college is up to the individual. Cancel all student loans & let families & communities blossom without DEBT, shakling & handcuffing the economic growth of society. Education should NEVER been used to manipulate & conquer society into submission to economic hardships & banking slavery.
