It would also be a great day to raise the minimum wage & pass Medicare4All. At this point, Congress is institutionally resistant to helping anyone except stockholders and big donors. “Serving the people” is a quaint concept no longer in political vogue.

Today would be a great day to cancel at least $50,000 of student loan debt per borrower.

How about let the free market set the wages? Canceling student loan debt is a slap in the face to all of the families who sacrificed and saved money to send their kids to college.

That’s ridiculous. It’s like saying legalizing marijuana is a slap in the face to those who already served time.

It’s also going to have to be a process. That takes time. There’s no flipping a switch. No instant gratification. We’re just so accustomed to that. Be patient.

Serving People won't put Large Political Donations into your Bank Account ... However ... Serving the People will allow you to ... SLEEP AT NIGHT!

why should debt be canceled when the borrower read and signed the terms of their agreement? 'the people' also includes those who honored and paid their obligations and those who did not 'cosign' for their loans. absolving that debt obligation is a 'disservice' to those people.

Start M4A in California and see how that works out before you try across the rest of the country.
