Dad Confronts Warren On Student Loan Forgiveness: ‘Can I Have My Money Back?’
Daily Caller ^ | January 23, 2020 | william davis

The father of a college student was seen confronting Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren about her plan to cancel student loan debt in a video that went viral earlier this week.

The dad chastised Warren over her plan, and got especially heated after the senator and 2020 presidential candidate told him he could not get the money back that he saved to pay for his daughter’s school.

“My daughter is in school. I saved all my money. Am I gonna get my money back?” the dad asked.

“Of course not,” Warren replied.

“So you’re gonna pay for people who didn’t save any money, but those of us who did the right thing get screwed?” the man asked.

The man mentioned that he worked a “double shift” to pay for his daughter’s education, and accused Warren of mocking his life story.

“You’re laughing at me!” the man said.

Warren denied that she was laughing, but the dad was not buying her explanation.

“That’s exactly what you’re doing!” he said. “We did the right thing and we get screwed!”

Warren unveiled a $640 billion plan last year to eliminate student loan debt, a plan that would be funded by a tax on the ultra wealthy.

Yeah, what a fool I was to pay for my kids education so they wouldn’t end up in debt.

Should have let them borrow it and then walk away.

Excuse will be thus:

“Wiping away this debt will free millions of young couples to buy homes and vehicles, stimulating the economy, creating jobs and growing the economy, which will benefit those of you who paid off old loans by blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Warren doesn’t give a rip how “fair” it is, she has only one calculus in mind: can it get me votes?

It’s all about fairness say the Dims.

Unless you did the right thing and paid your own way for a decent employable degree at a decent school.

Any “loan forgiveness” should come from the endowments of the SJW universities that harvested dumb 18-year olds for their student loans.

That I’d be OK with.
