So Pocahontas upping the ante in the leftist game of who can give away the most money for votes by proposing we cancel huge amouts of student debt. Aw......hell no. My daught got an engineering degree, a job and is writing checks every month. Something tells me the plan Pocahontas puts together will ignore her and the millions of others who acted like adults. Seriously, WTF?

I think it's something that should be looked at more closely.

Maybe not total negation, but definitely some kind of reform/interest rate reduction.

Our kids and grandkids are drowning in debt by the time they graduate college.  It's a system that's broken.

College tuition has raised at an alarming rate - there is no check or balance in place.

What kids should do is shun the 4 year mentality in favor of the trades or maybe military service.

But those that are caught in the quicksand of student loan debt should get some help.

Universities are liberal institutions in the sense that young people naturally fail to see the complete ramifications of their ideas. That's why the analogy of liberals as children is perfect. But let's be honest, society needs those ideas to keep being developed because they are the engine that drives progress. However, as in the real world, we need adults to rein in children so the whole structure doesn't collapse.

Our problem now is universities are managed mostly by liberals so there are few adults to stop the nonsense children get into. Throw in the fact that today's leftist politicians grew up in this environment and its no wonder a child like Warren wants a subsidized adult daycare called college.

Like I said, the more government gets involved in college, the more it gets dumbed down to high school level.

But the very idea of the government inserting itself into a private contract between two people strictly for the benefit of one side is something that should be rare and carefully considered. If Pocahontas really wanted to spur the economy (which is doing better than ever right now) why not do her socialist thing and with a wave of her very white hand, cancel all car loans. Cancel all personal property tax on vehicles. Cancel all auto insurance requirements and have the government provide it. To the average person on the street, that would have a far greater impact on them economically.

I think her plan is to eliminate debt if income under a 100 grand and a sliding scale up to 250k. What about poor Joe Blow who couldn't afford school so he's working as an HVAC texh and living at home so he can afford a car, insurance, taxes etc....

 Turns out it's a post to bash liberals.
You should warn us liberals next time...

WOW, someone posts a POV on a subject.
And a crybaby complains,
it’s all about bashing,
the crybabies, POV.

Yeah mn, you got me.

I was crying.

That's why I used that emoji...right?

C'mon - do better than that - if you can.

So a HS graduate has to make a decision.

Spend 2 years, getting a, Free, education on how to fix AC units.
Or spend 7 Years, getting a, Free, education on how to be a Doctor.
How long will it take, before ‘Doctors’ are fixing AC units ?

One solution, ‘advise’, people that, racking up a $300,000.00 debt,
getting the ‘Underwater Basket Weaving’ degree,
is a bad idea,
(unless you had, $300,000.00 just laying about, and really like baskets)

It all comes down to, a person really likes a thing,
so they pay, loan/work, to learn how to do that thing.
They will survive, and will be just fine.
vs
A person, who really does not know, or care, what they do.
and EXPECTS, to make big bucks with that,
‘Underwater Basket Weaving’ degree.
They will, ‘want’, a handout and say Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.

...and Trump acts like a grown-up?...

It's a moot point, Pocahontas has zero chance of doing anything in her campaign other than guaranteeing future income on the failed Democratic speaking tour with John Kerry and soon to be fellow members Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden.

And yes, liberals are children.

Trump doesn't factor into any discussion like this. He is an outlier, a one of a kind anomaly that previous rules and paradigms don't apply to.
