    I disagree with your premise. Any college degree improves one's opportunities in the job market. So you want government, not only to pay for college but also to help people get jobs? Federal government has no business doing any ot this.

    I was kind of hoping for the Debt Slavery Reparations Plan:

    End of slavery:

    “The Federal Reserve's rule told credit card companies that they no longer can consider household income when assessing the creditworthiness of an individual who applies for his or her own card. Under the rule, only an individual's own salary or other income -- rather than combined household income -- can be considered.”

    Slavery reinstituted:

    “U.S. Reps. Carolyn Maloney, D-NY, and Louise Slaughter, D-NY, both among the principal authors of the CARD Act, said the rule ‘goes beyond the intent’ of the law and ‘represents a serious risk for women in abusive domestic partnerships.’"

    2004 Democratic Platform:

    "Average family debt is higher than ever. And as they lose the struggle to make ends meet, one out of every seven middle class families may be bankrupt by the end of the decade...over time, fiscal discipline saves families thousands of dollars on their mortgages and credit cards.”


    “You have probably caught that Visa credit card commercial in which a wily wife hides her many shopping sprees under the bed and up in the attic, all out of sight from her clueless husband.
    The punch line is that she could have won all that stuff she rung up on the plastic. But the reality behind such behavior is hardly a laughing matter.” (Rene a. Guzman, San Antonio Express-News Jan. 12, 2005 12:00 AM)

    Warren is a hypocrite:

    [​IMG]

    she lies constantly.

    [​IMG]

    Elizabeth Warren is everything that has gone wrong with the Democrats. She is rich, enriches are herself and lies to people to make them think she will help them. She just wants the vote and then she will enact policies that will destroy them. Time and time again she and her fellow Democrats have moved society towards their elite status while destroying the Middle Class and increasing poverty.

    You don't speak the truth. You speak a false dichotomy.

    Let me break it down for you. It is not a choice between a social welfare state and excessive military spending (military industrial complex welfare). We don't have to pick one or the other. WE CAN HAVE NEITHER.

    NEITHER. Get it.

    I think we should invade France. America has never been better than when we invade Europe. We need to stop going to these places where there are a bunch of crazy fanatics, and start wars we can actually win instead.

    No, it's not it. Warren, being closet Socialist, love to spend money she does not have.

    As for a viable third party... what was it again you did not like about Tea Party?

    If that were the case, then most Trump voters should be able to relate to her pretty well.

    My nephew went to a state university (in computer science) with somewhat reasonable tuition (relatively) rather than to an ultra expensive private university and has paid every penny of his student loan back. He went to work right away after graduation in a lowly position and has worked his way up to now gotten pretty well off. In high school he went to work at McDonalds the day he turned 16 and stayed working there for two years until he left for university. He believes in hard work. He never had the idea going to college entitles you to anything. He didn't drink his way through and piss money away on spring break.

    Surely he can get some of that Warren money, too, for being smart, rational, wise, and no burden at all on the taxpayers. That would be fair.

    Sorry, but this is bullshit.

    Taking out student loans isn't forced upon anybody. You take the loan you take the responsibility. You want to take the loan, fail your classes or get some worthless degree, that's on you and only you.

    What needs to change is we need to stop lending to just anybody. There's no reason to lend massive amounts of money to a student who's getting a worthless degree, failing, etc.

    Also, students need to go to 2 year colleges first until 4 year schools get there **** together and cut the cost of attending them.

    Well, if education is a right, I guess that means we, the working, have to slave to pay for it.

    Looking back, I can't say that it's ever been possible. Looks like entropy wins every time.

    3rd parties would paralyze the Democrats. i judge they would help Republicans. Take the Tea party for example.

    Well maybe, but a good offense often is better than remaining on defense. For example, we have seen liberalism pushed back on 2nd Amendment issues to some degree. Look at the number of States that allow unconnected non-elite citizens to carry a concealed handgun.

    Working folks slave for everything they got, including the victuals in the cupboard and the frig. There's no reason college should be free, either.

    When you slaved and continue to slave away for your living by hard work you are being repaid.

    It's a hard world for those born with that silver spoon.

    Of course, they give the order to issue the paychecks.

    There should be reparations for those who already paid off their student loans. Equal protection under the law.

    Liz Warren and these elitist Leftists are even more insidious than people realize. Let's really consider "Free College" or giving student loan forgiveness. What does that mean? It means this:

    People without college degrees who earn less, will be forced to subsidize those with college degrees that will earn more. - Matt Walsh

    That right there is immoral.
