1/ Just to be clear, more people educated means more people making money means a more expanded economy for everyone. More people shackled with loans means less money circulating and a more constricted economy for everyone.

2/2017 $2T tax cut where 83 cents of every dollar went to the wealthiest corporations and individuals will never pay for itself, and only increased income inequality.

3/ Forgiving a $1.5T student loan debt will put money in the pockets of everyday people and decrease income inequality. THAT is why all the propaganda against it. It has nothing to do with money, but with power - which is why the student loan system was created to begin with.

Problem is we don’t have money for that! But you go ahead and tax me and my family another $13,000 for someone who signed on the dotted line and is reneging on their loan! I paid mine off!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Admit it... it would also drive up inflation.

I like your intentions, but this is just flat wrong. This is taxing truckers to pay off college student debts. Insane. Instead, allow student debt to be discharged in bankruptcy.

Sure ... There used to be lots of Pell Grants ... then they were converted into loans ... so certain Corporations can make money off the interest!

And take money from Blur collar workers. Where do you think the money will come from? Should they pay for upper middle class kid’s college expenses?
Replying to @marwilliamson
What about those who did not go to colleges. What do they get? The joy of paying for upper middle classes education expenses?
Replying to @marwilliamson
lots of homeowners are also 'shackled' by debt, should we cancel their mortgages? of course not. average income of student debt holders is over $80,000. fact, not propaganda. targeted relief for low income earners? certainly. blanket relief for all? certainly not.

It will also cause Campus costs to skyrocket. Do you want kids paying $60k/yr for school?
Replying to @marwilliamson
This is like just like health insurance. If you want to cut down the premiums you need to cut down the costs of getting medical attention. If you want to cut down education debt you need to cut down the cost of university and college attendance. If not it’s all going in circles.
