Paraphrasing former Senator Dirkson (sp?), “a trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money.”
Since Monopoly has stopped using paper money, the loonies in the Communist Party can pay for their boondoggles with Monopoly money.
Rather, the middle class will cease to exist
I happened to select a major that the government thinks is so critical that my tuition plus a stipend were covered during graduate school. So I did not graduate owing $100k, but also I do not earn as much as a medical doctor.
While my major may be critical, that is not true of many majors. Going into deep debt to major in “Studies” is not wise, since employability after graduation is almost nil.
Students have a responsibility to research job opportunities prior to selecting a major; colleges an universities have a duty to make that information available. It is not the role of government to shift the cost of majoring in useless subjects onto the backs of taxpayers.
It is an absurdity. But the students signed the loan and then used the product.
I blame greedy college administrators and the supporting system for fostering the lie that college education automatically improves the ability to earn more money.
And then jacking up fees at higher rates than inflation.
They pretend to pay us we pretend to work
The schools are the institution most clearly captured by the Left. This plan rewards all the loyal apparatchiks.
The student loan crisis could be fixed by simply requiring the colleges/universities cosign the loans.
So Commie Sanders wants people who didn’t go to college to pay for their bosses who did.
The Democratic party relies on people’s stupidity for votes. Much like time share salesmen, when they first trot out their sales pitch its sound wonderful but if you start thinking about it you soon realize it is a terrible deal. Democrats do not and I repeat DO NOT want you thinking, elsewise you would soon see they are selling fecal material
My husband and I repaid all my college loans. We paid cash for our 3 kids to go to college. If Bernie becomes president will he pay us back. Our youngest graduated from Concordia Irvine California and tuition and fees were almost $35K a year. Add books, car, gas, apartment, food, car insurance, clothes, shoes, utilities, supplies, some minimal furniture for apartment.... It was about $75K a year that we paid for. Can’t wait to get our reparations! Took him 6 years! $75K x 6 = YIKES! No wonder we didn’t buy a new car for ourselves while we had kids in college!!!! Come on Bernie, reparations please! LOL
It would sure make me feel like a fool for working hard so my daughters would graduate without a debt load hanging over them.
Aside from the costs they will bear in terms of dollars, they will pay an even steeper price measured by loss of freedom
Middle class will be wiped out joining the welfare poor like what FDR did.
Yes, but possibly not for the rest of our lifetimes.
The world is caught in a perfect storm where we can basically print-and-spend-and-print-and-spend, and nobody will do anything because they’re all afraid of being left without a chair if the music stops.
Leftists proposing this stuff have surely figured this out.
Hey, Bernie, News Flash, "Wall Street" doesn't have it's OWN money.
Retirees trying to live above Social Security and fund their retirement by investing in stocks and bonds will get hit yet again.
Free Stuff
It isn’t like it’s going to come out of their pocket.
lobbyists wink
I figure I’m paying 50% of income to taxes. Property tax, utility and services taxes, general sales taxes, gas tax and vehicle licenses and tags are taxes. Add in hidden extras that our health and auto insurance charges us because others don’t have it and we’re over 50%.
The Dems cannot stand that Trump gave out all those tax cuts. They are trying to find any & all ways possible to keep draining the taxpayer’s pocketbooks.
This isn’t going to end well.
