The reason we should cancel the entire student loan debt is because those loans should never have existed to begin with. Before the 1970s, we had near. tuition free situations in Florida, Texas, and California. This was a malevolent strain of capitalism reaching into the pockets of some of our most vulnerable citizens, people simply trying to better their lives by getting a higher education. Every other advanced democracy has tuition free higher Ed. We should too.

To the Ayn Randies: Higher ed (HE) isn't expensive bc of gov't loans, but mostly bc gov't slowly stopped subsidizing HE. HE doesn't compete on price, but quality. Capping loans won't help bc plenty of rich parents'll pay the $$ HE charges--kids who aren't rich will get screwed.

Our indigenous people should come first in talking points.

Is this a really old AOC?

If you cancel the loans, make the colleges give ALL the money back. Why should they get to keep it?
Replying to @marwilliamson
why blame capitalism when this entire debate is in the control of the government. government is the problem. capitalism is the solution.

Cancel all debt

The demise of the educational institution unsurprisingly coincides with the advent of the DoE. Gov't drives costs, lowers standards yet socialists like Williamson thinks more gov intervention with other people's money is the solution. Mary simply pagurizes poor old Bernie. Sad

Its not capitalism that has driven up the cost of education, its the government making excessive "free" money available that colleges were quick to find ways of snarfing up, allowing nonsense degrees such as gender studies, and a whole DEI beauracracy.

Well we don't have free education now and they willfully borrowed the money......so they have to pay it back...period. Quit living in the past..like 50 years ago!!.....get real Williamson!!
