Sophisticated economic jargon is routinely used to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people. We're consistently told we "don't have the money" for things that should simply be considered rightfully ours.

A case in point is the 2017 tax cut v. the college loan debt crisis. The tax cut (83 cents of every $ went to richest people & corp) cost $2T, and the loan debt is less than that. The 2017 tax cut should be repealed, although the middle class tax cut part of it should be kept in.

See what really went on there. We're told the tax cut was an economic stimulant - which it wasn't. THE REAL ECONOMIC STIMULANT WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE COLLEGE LOAN DEBT ENTIRELY. The release of creativity & productivity would immense, creating wealth across the board for everyone.

So my proposal is not a plan that reduces the debt. My proposal is that the American people wake up on this one, realize how bamboozled we have been by trickle down economic theory for the last 40 years & ask for what we really want: Not just to reduce the debt. REMOVE THE DEBT.

People ask me how I’d feel if student debt were removed after having paid mine back. I would be ECSTATIC! I know many GOP who feel differently. They say, “If I had to pay, then everyone else should too!” That idea is the problem with our nation now! I’m with you, @marwilliamson!

What do you think the chances are that they remove the debt in a honesty?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Let's go. Let the American people know, not to accept the Republican fear mongering about the National debt. Tax cuts to the top 1% aren't an issue to Republicans, but legislation that help regular people? That's socialist, leftist, pie in the sky nonsense? Don't fall for it!
