Elizabeth Warren wants to cancel your student loan debt and make college tuition-free

for student loan debt forgiveness would:Provide substantial debt cancellation for every person with household income between $100,000 and $250,000.Also make private student loan debt eligible for cancellation.

Streamline the student loan debt forgiveness process using data and income information already available to the federal government. Importantly, Warren's plan offers no student loan debt cancellation to borrowers with a household income above $250,000, which she says is the Top 5% of earners. There would also be"phase-outs" based on income. The $50,000 cancellation amount would phase out by $1 for every $3 in income above $100,000.

This is the kind of big, structural change we need to make sure our kids have opportunity in this country."How would Warren pay for this student loan forgiveness plan and universal free college plan?Warren's Ultra-Millionaire Tax would include a 2% annual tax on the 75,000 families in the U.S. who have at least $50 million in net worth.

Warren also wants to invest an additional $100 billion in Pell Grants over the next 10 years and expand eligibility for Pell Grants to include more lower- and middle-income students.Some of the 2020 presidential candidates have weighed in on the future of higher education, how to manage growing student loan debt, and how to

I have an MBA debt and can't even get pass the interview, if I get one; and I know it is due to my age!

Take all Her money and offer scholarships.

Only if I’m reimbursed for the loans I already paid off early. I could have been so much further ahead if I didn’t have those.

Start by cutting this: Elizabeth Warren's Salary at Harvard is $429,981

Sadly, $50k would not put much of a dent in my student loan debt... Oh, to have that average $35k of debt. What a glorious situation to be in.

Cancel student loan debt? Can I cancel my mortgage debt? What’s more important, a home or an education? Hmmm...

This is BS I worked hard to pay off my tuition for my degree by doing this she would make degrees worthless. Instead of making tuition free, make it affordable by limiting tuition increases/hikes.

Please be our Saint ElizabethWarren!

And who will fund this?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❗️

Why just give everyone 1 million so they can pay their debts

meanwhile back at the teepee.

I used my retirement to pay my children's student loans. I then went back to work. can it be retroactive. what us behind done about lowering college costs? pushing the costs over to taxpayers is not acceptable

So, what about people like my niece and daughter who were fiscally responsible and have paid off their student loans, in full. If they had partied instead, would they be getting a bail out now?

People getting mad about this more then when the banks got bailed 😂

Student loan debt is student loan debt. People are faced with choices every day. To bail out someone because they made a bad financial choice teaches them nothing and perpetuates bad choices and behavior.

In other words, she's buying your vote and passing your misery on to other generations

Not for the middle class though! Have to make under 100,000 per household and that doesn’t help the middle class ..

Hey Elizabeth how about making it retro to oh, let’s say 1965.

SenWarren If that’s the case, you should cancel people’s credit card debt as well. I see a problem with forgiving people for their lack of financial education. They’re not children. They’re adults who are responsible for their own actions and the consequences that come with it.

Dumb.

How about spending time working on social security?

Why do you report on these bozos?

With today's education many will gravitate to being given something they didn't work for. Then applaud her idea without looking at Social Security & Medicare that Americans have PAID INTO that She & those like her in Washington have bankrupt. Her plan will audit EVERYONE'S assets

new fed student finl asst programs provided colleges golden opportunity to raise fees. added revenues gained fr rising enrollments & higher fees, colleges went on academic arms race. built fancier facilities, w atriums, climbing walls, & even “lazy rivers. WASTE $gs SenWarren

Cancel everyone's mortgage and credit card loans too. Just cancelling college loans shows bias toward the educated and prejuidice toward others who do not have college loans. Just cancel 1/512th of everyone's debt

People need to stop paying for over priced educations. How much more does college need to cost for people to realize this? Perhaps when it reaches $250k... how about $500k? Stop paying and prices will go down!

Govt to control admissions, what's taught or not taught, built or not built, updated or not, etc. States also control the 'state' schools & would never relinquish. Teacher's union is still the most powerful org in the US. Who gets the multi billion endowments at the schools?

There may come a time in our country’s future where it may be worth it, from many angles, to stay “poor”. That is anti-capitalism and exactly plays into the stigma of liberals wanting people to stay poor.

It's possible only with the right perspective

How do you want to achieve that if i may ask

I earned my college degree paid in full. Can I just get my truck and credit card paid off?

Free socialist indoctrination for everyone!

Crazy huh?

Buying votes.

Tomorrow can I get free beer and pizza too?
