The student loan debt should never have occurred. From the beginning it was the predatory project of an unholy economic alliance among government, lending companies, and banks. Until the 1970s we had a system in this country for near tuition free college in various places. Such systems exist in every other advanced democracy, and the fact that it doesn’t exist here is not because it’s complicated but because we’re so corrupt. The government should not be run like a business, serving only to enable vulture capitalism to turn any and every human desire into a profit center. It should be run like a family. We should do everything possible to set our young people up to win, not cut them off at their knees. The President can cancel the entire college loan debt using the Higher Education Act. As President I will. #disruptthecorrupt

I agree that student debt shouldn’t exist, but the fed govt shouldn’t be run like a biz or a family. It is the monopoly ISSUER of our currency. The rest of us are USERS. The issuer can not run out, can afford whatever we need as long as there are resources & has no profit motive.

Aid has become exploitation. FAFSA is no credit check on the front end, no bankruptcy protections on the back end. Capitalized interest and no government oversight in the middle.

I was with you for the first two sentences.

Yes, and also No. The system is rigged and should go back to pre-1970s. But also, people agreed to the terms of their student loans, received mandatory counseling on what that debt means, and have to pay them back. Because that's what happens when people agree to debt.

I’d rather keep my student loan burden than to have you in office to do Israel’s bidding you Zionist war pig.
Replying to @marwilliamson
You left out corrupt universities...
Replying to @marwilliamson
Stop being absurd.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Don't forget the colleges that raked in all that money. They are fully complicit.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Will you cancel the loans of people that didn't go to college? If you're looking to be fair.
