So millions of Americans have a collective $1.5 Trillion in student debt, most of it guaranteed by Fed.gov, which itself is in debt for $22 Trillion (not counting any future promises also)

Now we have a socialist candidate saying that as President, she can just eliminate that debt with the stroke of a pen.

These are the perverse fruits of the Federal Reserve and our printed, fiat currency.

Why stop with student loans? Why not general debt forgiveness? We should all start with a clean slate.

What makes students special?

I have been doing accounting & Bookkeeping since I was 17 & I just turned 80.

I am straining my experience to come up with the accounting entries that would be put on the books to achieve this nonsense.

I paid every penny of my college expenses. I never had a single dime of ‘loans’.

The Federal Government under Obama took over student loans from local banks-—who KNEW their customers & acted accordingly.

Stealing from the taxpayers -—many of whom NEVER had any college education -— to make current loan parers whole is so wrong, I don’t have words for it.

This is MASSIVE theft——and WARREN KNOWS IT.

How many hard core Dem voters who never had a college loan to forgive will be really turned off by this idea????

They are the perverse fruits of our very bad decision to bail out the banks in 2009. That was a sea change. Now nobody sees any logical reason why they shouldn't get a bailout too.
