Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has revealed a new higher-education platform that aims to eliminate tuition for two and four-year public colleges and cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans, the senator from Massachusetts announced Monday morning.
Many of Warren's challengers for the nomination are backing the Debt-Free College Act, which would pay for students attending a public college, but stopped short of full debt cancellation. "My plan would provide at least some debt cancellation for 95% of people with student loan debt , provide targeted cancellation for the families that need it most, substantially increase Black and Latinx wealth, and help close the racial wealth gap," Warren wrote in a blog post.
"College shouldn’t just be a privilege for those who can afford to take on the significant expenses associated with higher education," she wrote."Like K-12 education, college is a basic need that should be available for free to everyone who wants to go."
Aww hell no, it has to be for ALL students!!!
Is called being an adult. You make decisions about your education. Do I want to go? What will I take? How much will it cost? Can I afford it? Can I get a job? I put 2 through college & have paid myself. No aid! I work on cars for a living. They shouldn't get it for free!
That's socialism. I'll take capitalism any day. And NO free lunch and college for illegals!!!!
College isn’t a right.
So let me get this straight I couldn’t afford to go to college because I had to support myself and didn’t need debt. You want to make me now pay for someone else education with my hard earned taxes? Go fuk yourself
If you default on a student loan you should give up all the college credits. It's no different than foreclosing on a house
Why doesn’t warren tell the truth THE TAX PAYERS ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT NOT DEMOCRATS!
Nor should it be for those who lie on admission and employment applications, yet you did to get your slots...which prevented a qualified candidate from the slots.
That'll work 🤪
'Large screen tv's shouldnt just be for those who can afford them!' Elizabeth Warren's 2020 slogan 'Make the dollar mean nothing'
If college goes free, I want a refund of all that money I paid.
Screw you— without paying for her college, she wouldn’t be getting paid $400,000 a year to teach ONE class. Like everyone else-she went to college to improve her own worth and life-its a choice
I haven't seen how she plans to pay for it. It's not a plan without that.
This is literally a sad attempt at buying votes
Did she forget her meds again?
One easy question, why do I, who paid off my debt and my sons debt, have to pay for someone else’s loans? Will I get a refund? DemocratsAreFrauds lying to buy Votes
Yeah, great idea and all, But who's paying for this? Oh yeah, us tax payers.
Bullshit plan that is all optical in an effort to get votes. Staff and faculty have to get paid. Grounds must be maintained. Teaching aids/lab equipment, etc., must be purchased. Nothing is free. Fauxcahauntas is a bullshitter, not Sitting Bull.
Yeah, and she’s nuts! If she wants to really do something to help students, then I suggest she put limits on the tuition a college can charge. Their fees are insane.
So the government(tax payer) is supposed to pay for all college And the tax payer is supposed to pay for the student loan debt for people who signed the forms and knew what they were getting in to?
Says the woman lied and that stole a spot from a real native just to further her career and education
Oh great. Hey ewarren what about people who worked hard and paid off their student debt/loans? You going to reimburse all of us? And just how high are you going to raise taxes on everyone to be able to pay for this?
She was paid over $400k to teach per year - want to lower cost of education? Hire teachers that are more cost-effective.
If you still think you are a reliable news agency, do some research and report about how poorly this would work. Stop propping up this liar and fraud.
Nothing is free, someone pays for it! If its free it is not appreciated and abused but if you work for it and earn it then it’s highly valued!
Penalizing all those that worked to pay off their debts. What you reward, you will get more of.
Imagine Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Youtbe pooling resources to bring education technology to your mobile devices through a progressive series of apps. Parents could select from variety of mastery programs with emphasis on core subjects in math, science, etc.,
So what if I told you I paid my student loans off, am I owed reparations?
It wouldn’t be so high If we wouldn’t pay worthless teachers like her 500k for one class!
She should be discussing the skyrocketing cost. Stop all athletics. Keep colleges academic only.
Yeah because “free” college (taking someone else’s money by force via taxes) is gonna fix everything. Why should I have to pay for some moron to get a gender studies/ women’s studies/ (insert useless degree here) degree? Pathetic pandering.
Everything in life is a privilege of the capable, and the incapable will always FEEL (not ‘be’) oppressed. Nothing oppresses like being incapable.
A true thinker at the parliament.
Or maybe colleges shouldn’t charge $60k a year.
She really needs to stop lying. It will not be free. Tax payers will be paying for it.
Isn’t it a personal investment and doesn’t this give an advantage to those with more ability and money. Not everyone has what it takes to attend, this gives them an even bigger leg up with no debt now
Brother can you spare a vote I’ll say anything and promise everything to get it Elizabeth Warren Huckster
I've always paid my taxes to the fullest. If Dems continue this bullshit, the IRS might as well come and get me because I'm done!!!!!
Here’s an idea: Don’t borrow money you can’t pay back to get a degree that won’t allow you to support yourself once you graduate assuming of course that you graduate in the first place. FuckTwits might as well use loan sharks.
This is ridiculous. What about those who paid their debt? What about other debts? Why are pandering to a broken college system?
And transferring that debt on the rest of us Americans in the form of raising our taxes. I really. Democrats are the party of stupid. And loves to pander to their pathetic ideas.
Over my dead body!!
Free free free vote for me!
Let all the Progressive Socialists fund this program and keep their hands out of my pockets.
Imagine people using the word privilege like it’s a bad thing..
Who cares what she says. She will never be President!
Give me my money!!!
lol grasping at straws. SenWarren
Because professors don't mind teaching for free. Administrators like not taking a salary. And it doesn't cost anything for building maintenance, property or expansion.
I was sorta hoping for forgiveness of my mortgage. Can you arrange that Lizzie?
Im sure some other Crazy Liberal candidate will soon up the ante! Maybe Pay people to go to college?
Like buying votes
Says the lady who LIED about her heritage to get a $300,000+teaching job at Harvard. And let’s not forget that she double downed on her lie when she got caught. Let’s not forget she tossed her Parents and grand parents under the “bus” instead of apologizing.
Here’s a novel idea: remove tenure for all teachers, stop overpaying under producing instructors, pay college professors only for the classes they teach, no more $350k in “consulting fees” and stop charging “speaking fees”
Hey Pocahontas, the world needs ditch diggers too.
Why should stidents not have to pay debts they chose to incur? No one forced them and many students took longer but worked their way so not to have debt. How is this fair. Pandering to get youth vote will turn off youth who don't have massive debt for women's studies degree.
Free now you will pay later. Our country in deep debt and cannot afford this scam. Warren knows that.
I don't want my money to be spend on gender study and brainwashed liberal agenda.
Just look at the demos pander. Their bar continues to go lower and Lower.
Nice ABC. You’re so good at being unbiased. NOT.
The irony is that dems want to take even more control, which is what has caused the prices of tuition to sky rocket. You want to see prices drop, get the govts ass out of colleges. Let capitalism work and you will be able to go to the best school for the lowest price
Or if they can’t afford college, they can pull a few years in the military and they will get their college paid for🤷♂️
It is my understanding that she is proposing a 2 percent tax on the ultra rich which ( in turn) would generate trillions of dollars within the first 10 years of this tax being imposed. First I've heard of any type of 'plan' that might actually work.
What an idiot. Can’t protect the border, but let’s fund privilege.
So trying to buy votes at $50K in taxpayers money each
She has to BUY, BUY, BUY votes, because she has no other chance of getting the nomination as she’s crazy!!! Just where does she think this money is coming from That’s right, our pockets!!! No thank you, we are already taxed way too much!
It doesn't eliminate debt, it transfers that debt to tax payers. Does anyone want to incur debt because someone wanted a gender studies degree?
Will we also pay for bigger better safe spaces with more coloring books when 2020 vote is not for socialism?
How much student debt could've been wiped out if they used the $30M from the Mueller counsel sham
This is unconstitutional, unfair and moronic
Then stop the government subsidizes
So then ewarren who would pay your exorbitant salary to teach at Harvard?
How about Internet, cell phone, new car, new house and all the food 🥘 they can eat! Just FREE Everything! That is basically what the Democrats promise! The Democrats do not even know what they say anymore! Lies lies lies! Here is a hint: NOTHING is FREE! Someone is paying!
Can’t fund Medicare or social security that people have already paid into but can find money for this
It's not 'free', this is a lie.
Okay Pocahontas, I would like a check reimbursing me for every cent my wife & I paid for college, for the loans we took out & paid back (w/interest & inflation). Once that’s deposited in my accounts I’ll consider supporting this.
As long as my current student loans are eliminated, I don't care what you do
Any hope she’ll pay our monthly MasterCard bills too? I know I’d buy lots more, and really boost the economy, if I didn’t have to pay that monthly statement!
So if college is only for those who can afford it, why are so many in default of their student loans?
How about the entire college model (which is wasteful for most degrees) is overhauled?
It is not my responsibility to pay for someone else’s college or debt. Period!
Never mind government involvement drove up costs. So, no. There is NO Constitutional provision for either of them. Pay doe your own college, I did, and I'm paying for my daughters.
Moron Warren will pay $1.5 Trillion with her debit card!
Not all democrats have made a living off handouts. Some have worked their butt off for what they have. Outwardly they may appear to support this madness and that listless party.... but I suspect they will be the ones to make Trump2020 a landslide.
And anything else they can promise for “free” while they’re at it. Dems are great st taking other people’s money
Maybe we could look at the escalating cost of college. Why are the liberal professors making $300k for teaching 3 classes per week? Or maybe offer more online classes for less money for those students where money is tight?
Only a one time payment of only $640 billion 🙄 How about NO!
Democrats are so delusional.
Coming from a chick who makes $300-400k teaching ONE class at Harvard.
/abcnews you are the DemocraticPartyPropagandaMachine !
This is the first intelligent thing she's ever said.
I did just fine without college. And I don't have a big ass debt to repay. On the other hand, I had a coworker who made less than me and was trying to pay back 30K in student loans! Insanity! He was no better at the job than I was..... nice degree! 😂
Reading 223 “likes” from tweeters for Warren’s ridiculous plan to forgive student loan debt and free college....have no doubt, all 223 likes are those with student loans.
Which candidate is going to out do her? Booker is going to throw in a new car. Crazy Joe is going to throw in a car and Hawaiian vacation.
We need more of such people in the world.
Is this like putting it out there to see if it sticks?
What an idiot there’s no such thing as something free somebody has to pay for the shit
Harvard paid her $400,000+ in 2011. Harvard has an endowment worth BILLIONS.
the DemocraticParty today
Ummmm. She’s buying votes with taxpayers (middle class) money. All dem candidates are pandering to groups to BuyVotes. They have no decent platform, no answers, no common sense. It’s all buying votes and get Trump.... their President.
Maybe she's going to force Obama to make college loans reparations, since he pretty much created this mess.
It’s not really a “plan” until she’s revealed the budgets for how much it will cost. Stop confusing old people shouting about free things for plans.
Its not a privilege you lying moron, its a reward for people who work hard and deserve it. Giving a trophy for everyone for free will ruin the very concept of education !!! These people knowingly too loan, they must pay back !!!!
A ploy for votes! It’s the free stuff syndrome! Much more to come!
Don't fall for this. She's playing on emotions.
Debt doesn't just disappear. Someone has to pay for it. Banks aren't going to eat that loss. They don't even oay for their own losses. Taxpayers will pay for it.
How bout ending the federal student loan program and it’s artificial low interest rates that created the debt mess instead? 🤔
FAKENEWS
They are indoctrination centers and are WORTHLESS for EDUCATION! Local community colleges do a better job and are within reason costwise! Also, students can work their way through!
How much was warren paid at Harvard? $400,000 she is part of the problem she wants hardworking families to pay for Democrats are truly economically clueless
ABC when r u going to ask who will pay for financial institution bailout of 2020 if this asinine proposal is done When r u going to ask how is Warren paying for this When r u going to ask any valid questions Once again narrative pushers not journalists But let’s prop her up
I joined the US Navy to pay off my debt. Please tell her mail me a $400k check. Dm me ewarren!
THEN WHY DIDN'T SHE TEACH Harvard CLASSES FOR FREE. SenWarren YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. 1/1024 Cherokee Hypocrite
Does that mean professor will work for free?
Next you’ll want free drugs and you’ll want those that disagree to pay for them. Not an applicable solution.
How about we make colleges responsible for their product? If the goal is to make people ready a job then they should be paid accordingly. They can receive a percentage, say 10%, of their students pay check for 5 years.
If that’s the case then I should be able to say where my tax dollars go.
It is called student debt, you get out of college, get a job, and work it off. Or there are plenty of colleges that are handing out financial aid and scholarships.
The rich didn’t get rich by taking cuts in income. They will make up for the “loss” from higher taxes by laying off employees and/or increase prices for products and services used by consumers. They don’t care but we do since we’ll be the ones paying for it.
Elizabeth has Alzheimer’s
If you want to pay thousands for brainwashing then hits your choice ... I’m not paying for it
DNC ewarren, I am so glad that I didn't vote for you, The HYPOCRISY you preach is disgusting. Why should others that came up in life the hard way and made something of themselves, pay for others to do the same. ' If you do not EARN IT, you will not APPRECIATE IT!!'
Why the hell should I pay for someone else’s financial irresponsibility?
So you want taxpayers to fund free indoctrination by a cash guzzling bloated pig who are supposedly institutions of higher learning but are in reality high wages and freebies for socialist elitist who hate America except if they can fleece it in their terms.
These idiotic libs will say anything, regardless of how inane and unrealistic, to pick up votes from the ignorant masses that actually believe them!!
She’s either 100% nuts or she’s trying to buy votes in a crowded field of competitors. Or maybe both.
She lied about being Native American in order to get a job at Harvard. Why would anyone take this fraud seriously?
Says the professor who got paid $349,375/yr to reach one class. Wonder what those “significant expenses associated with higher education” cover?
She’s insane.
This will just water down bachelor degrees even more, more humanities will be added, and then masters will be necessary for most diciplines.
Who will make the lenders solvent if the loans are all forgiven? This will put most lenders out of business!!
What is wrong with this woman? And she expects people to vote for her to be potus ? Hahahaha omg
We love ya Liz yea right
Lol! The country is already broke! Free college, free medical, no borders, reparations, it’s all great until you run out of other peoples money!
Give away free college and but who keep Americans working if all the companies decide to leave because of the high cost for free healthcare,colleges, $15.00 an hour for every worker and the list goes on
And that free 'education' further pushes their agenda by brainwashing our youth and buying votes.
Wasn’t this the ding bat who would NOT vote for 5 billion dollars to secure the southern border, but wants to spend over 65 billion dollars of tax payer money to eliminate college student’s bad decisions. I don’t think so!
Free college yea party yea America pays yea illegals get free healthcare insurance houses and college yea a Spanish college yea
“Significant expenses” associated with higher education 😆 Otay. I double majored in electrical and computer engineering. Associates degree. Two years. Whopping $6500 in expenses. Paid them off as I went. Two jobs. Sucked ass. No debt. Kicks ass. $100,000 job now.
ewarren somebody Reeks of desperation.
and thats when i stop paying taxes
So, if she's so concern than why is she not demanding colleges and universities used their endowments to wipe out the debt they created?
Ask this question. What does she plan to do with the students who have worked hard to pay off their student loans? I do not want my taxes to pay for free college oh and free healthcare and abortion. toobadsosad
ewarren has no problem taking $400k to teach one class!
Lmao I'd believe she's a Native American before that plan comes close to fruition
Oh you silly old bat
So free college and convicted terrorists voting. Dems having a week
That will go over well with the rest of the world who’s paid their own debt responsibly. I just don’t think they’ll now want to cover the others. SOOOO lame. 😂😂😂😂
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
How about a free credit card program. A free rent and mortgage program. Or a free vacation program SenWarren ? You love giving the shirt off others' backs, huh? Moron
Does this mean your husband will work for free?
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
If This happens I want my school loans abolished AmericanEducationServices
How about we quit telling everyone they need to go to college. There are plenty of good paying trades jobs out there.
This is ridiculous. Then do all of us that HAD YO PAY OUR DEBT get a refund. So sick of this. When you commit to go you commit to paying your debt!!!!
So you have to qualify for college. What happens if you can’t qualify? What happens if you drop out/fail? If 95% of people from ages 22-40 have a bachelors degree how does thag separate them in the workforce from the 2nd/3rd/4th person?
This is a lie! Nothing is Free! I’m not paying more taxes to cover the cost for someone else!
Ok so they are mad about Trumps tax cuts. So they are going forgive all student debt. So they are mad bc Trump have to much back to the people so they are going give more ?
And I want all my bills paid so I can become debt free
Well, most can't afford it...You know, the loans you want to make free! Great job, by the way. Let's make it free for them and lower my standard of living to pay for it.
Yeah buddy seeing that it’s the top 25% of earners kids that have this debt. How about working and paying of the debt like everyone else does. But hey this is your local Pocahontas speaking. By all means listen to this fraud.
So she thinks people that didn’t/don’t go to college should be forced to help pay for those that did/do. Got it. No.
Democrats plan on stealing from successful people to give to deadbeats that wasted their time on bogus degrees in college. Democrats need a permanent underclass. Democrats hate successful American citizens.
This article amounts to a prepaid ad for Senator Warren. There is no discussion on the feasibility of her plan or what route does this plan take to be enacted? No mention of what happened in France when they taxed their millionaires. We need more information.
While were at it, lets give back everything west of the Appalachian's
Another idea... make college something valuable and worth paying money for so you leave it with job prospects that represent a positive return on your investment. Wiping out debt so the masses can get lame duck educations won't fix the problem
If she has her way, everything will be free. No way to pay for it, but it’s all free. 🤦♂️
Making it FREE means that some Marxist 'students' could stay there long enough to learn that they are an 'oppressed minority', and then run for President🤔
Who doesn't want free stuff? I'll vote for whomever gives me the most free stuff. Mortgages should be cancelled as well.
No one panders like Elizabeth Warren.
I will raise. Free student loan forgiveness, free car loan forgiveness, free healthcare, ban all straws and you can poop in the street anywhere you want. Vote4Dave PanderMuch
If you SOMEHOW get elected and get this passed, what are YOU going to do for people that have recently PAID OFF A LARGE COLLEGE LOAN? Paid over 60G for college loan and making less than 100G.
Which colleges would be free? Those colleges would be paid what the govt deems appropriate and teach what the govt deems necessary. Where would all the kids go once those colleges are at capacity?
From Pandering to the African American community with promises of reparations to pandering to college students with the promise of free education. Tell me, where is she getting all that money?
Why should I pay for snowflakes to get worthless college degrees
Bail out for Garbage liberal Arts Academia (gimmick)
College wont be for some poor Indian kid, thanks to your privileged white lady.
More crazy ideas please. Trump2020
SenWarren ... your anti-hallucination medications are ready...
I just won’t pay my taxes
Perhaps ewarren should be 'having the conversation' about how to lower the cost of education like getting colleges and universities to curb costs and spending. Maybe professors shouldn't get paid $400k for teaching one class!
higher education is a privilege. those who work hard to provide for their families should be able to do just that. those who dont can go to community college. next.
Why make them work? Give everyone a free PhD
What the government made worse, she is going to fix now, using the government 😂
Seeking after higher education is not a privilege; it's an Investment.
Lol never happening
You get a car! You get a car! And you get a car! (You just have to pay the taxes to get it)
Defund the brainwashing centers
Wait. I already paid for mine. Now you expect me to pay for others, unwillingly? Because unless everything (building, professor time, books, etc) are donated, that’s exactly what this is. And it should be considered theft. Can’t afford college? Try a trade school.
Why stop at education - free food, housing, cars, clothing for everyone. Maybe I should run for President.
There is a huge difference btwn going to a state school and borrowing $100K/yr to go to an Ivy--change the tuition situation, don't penalize families who make responsible decisions with kids economic futures.
Buying votes with taxpayers money...
How is this free again? It's a good thing for us taxpayers that this lunatic will NEVER be president.
Why not serve in the military for 2 years & earn the GI bill for college, better deal on home buying etc. Eliminates borrowing for college. Or claim to be native American and go for free
Why are you sending Low IQ kids to university ? If there IQ isn't high enough to enter the Military don't fund them.
let's make college worth even less by giving it away for free
So... no cost to the indoctrinated taking a feminist dance theory program with a minor in abstract art? Can't wait to hear how she convinces the tenured profs to work for free.
Could we stop using the word free?
Pot calling the kettle black ThesePeopleAreSick
‘Eliminate’ means- IT DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE! As in, “Sorry, banks, write it off as a loss. It is un-secured debt.” NOT- WE WILL GET THE TAX PAYERS TO PAY FOR IT! Cheese! She should go back to the reservation.
Then ewarren can pay for everyone’s college already paid for mine and my son and his wife have already paid there’s off as well
And guess what! If she wins it will never happen! Dems never follow through, the only thing they talk about is TRUMP! well, the green new deal is something but none of them even voted for it lol 😂
Then why not just give them all a $50,000/yr payout from the government as well?
Free unicorns too!
I'm waiting for the candidate who will promise to pay off my mortgage for me and buy me a new car
As someone who is helping put my four children through college, saving, etc, that’s the day I stop paying taxes. Good thing nothing she says matters, that creepy, cloying racist liar
What’s her stance on lying about race to get scholarships?
The public school system needs reconstructed before anything else. The average child is behind in basic skills. Many can't budget if they're even accepted to college.There's NOTHING free! The only way to provide this would be a dramatic increase in taxes.
How will the professors get paid. How will anything be paid for. Let’s start using corn and chickens for money again.
Trump has actually kept his promises a first for a president. She needs to seriously explain how she intends to pay for all this & not this “tax the 1%” bullshit she keeps peddling.
CulturalMarxism in action. MarxismIsTheProblem
Chief Talking Delusional is her new Native American name.
Full of BS up to your stupid haircut. Just earn your way to and through college. Make every single person in every college work every day no matter how much or little their parents make, consolidate all undergraduate schools into one and equalize tuition costs, it is not a right!
It's not a privilege or right....u EARN IT!! Why can't u people figure out COMMON SENSE!!!
And she got into prestigious colleges because she claimed minority status! Native American! What a farce!
Always the same regirtudated garbage.
There already is a way to get free tuition, it's called the GI Bill. But that requires military service, something most kids are to afraid or offended to do
My tax will not fund leftist agenda
Nothing is free. Don’t buy into this crap.
1024thNativeAmerican “College is free if you say you’re a Native American” -Elizabeth Warren *unofficial paraphrased quote
I would like financial reparations for my college tuition. It's the fair and just thing.
I paid for mine. Not paying for anyone elses.
So we are extending high school another 4 years? Is that what’s going on here?
Give students tax credits for their education so they will have to get a job to get the free ride, they will spend wiser, and it won't be such a huge burden on hard working people.
That is the perfect symbolism of the American left today. They do things without consequences and now they want everything given to them without the hard work. Pathetic
If you get good grades you can get a scholarship. You have to work hard for things. Leftist spoiled babies want everything givento them. There’s a video of a little brat girl rushing the office of a political person and the police pull her out and she is screaming like A baby.
It isn’t free. It gets paid for; somebody gets billed for it.
Screw that and same to u
In the end all tax payers have to pay it back its like swindling the poor to pay for the poor.
They need this to brainwash all impressionable with Marxism and lies. They desperately want a one party nation.
It’s not free if we are all taxed for it. Dems always coming up with Ways Collect more national debt.
Like the way you fraudulently obtained monies for school grants? Release your applications fraud hypocrite
Stupidity ☝️
Socialism in disguise you fools. Yes, I have student debt, but I'm paying it off, bit by bit. It would be nice for it to be wiped, but not this way, Dems always have a 'gotcha' tagged to all their proposals.
She's an idiot, and for those hundreds of thousands or more of us, who struggled to actually payoff student loans its a complete slap in the face from another progressive idiot, who panders to get votes. No Pocahantus, we will not pay for snowflakes lack of responsibility.
I'm not paying my tax dollars so young people can go to college and take courses on gender studies and White Privilege studies, where are young people are taught to hate white people and Christianity and Men
Free tuition! Free healthcare! Free housing! Free cars! Free food! Print more money and give everyone a guaranteed income of $100k a year!
So I worked nights and paid for college on my own. It was a total of 35,000 dollars. Am I going to receive any reimbursement?
Did she mention that she ACTUALLY lied to get into college?
what about everyone who worked hard to pay off their debt? You're going to make them pay for someone else's too?
Great, let’s just screw the lenders...
How to you plan on eliminating their debt? By raising our taxes to pay for that debt?
Free sh*t, VOTE 4 ME!!!
Except that college is a privilege not a right! These leftists need to stop pandering for votes. What’s next? Forgiving mortgages? Forgiving car loans? Forgiving credit card debt? Please tell me where these magical money trees are that are going to pay for all of this!
Retarted
Too freakin’ liberal !!!!! Dems2020
The purpose of a student loan is to pay for an education that will enable you to earn enough to pay back the loan and better your financial position in the long run. If you choose to pursue a degree that will not achieve this goal, then you made a bad investment. Your fault.
I would say she's f*cking stupid, but she knows it would never work. That makes her a f*cking liar & the people who believe her are f*cking stupid.
Free stuff free stuff all they are doing is pandering for votes it will never happen
Nothing is free. Where’s the $ come from?
Did someone said free shit?
Fucking stop promoting this garbage
What does she know about paying for college she pretended she was Native American and had it paid for.
Taxpayers must pay for other people's bad choices...again. - SenWarren BernieSanders WalkAwayFromDemocratSocialists
You can cut college tuition in half by making teachers pay social security taxes .
so... is she trying to get votes by deceiving young people? Classic!
She’s only saying this because her campaign is tanking.
Sorry you don't take a cruise when you can't afford it.....don't blame the people for you making bad financial decisions. Take basic studies at a smaller cheaper school than take your major courses at the expensive prestigious school.
Sorry snowflakes you'll have to pay for your own college student loans like we had to. Besides Fauxcahontas is just lying to you so you'll vote for her. What did the dems do for you when Obama was in the White House? I will answer that BUPKIS!Gov got into student loan business👎
I owe 55k in student loan debt and make less than 100k/yr. this stupid proposal would never make it through Congress. I’ll keep my debt, thanks.
Most colleges are Marxist indoctrination stations.. I wouldn’t want to go for free
Reminder that Trump is fulfilling promises he made on the campaign. These Dem candidates know full well there’s no chance of them following through on theirs.
More crazy non-sense coming from these crazy candidates.
I demand reparations for me and all the people that already paid theirs off...wait, you mean what’s in the past doesn’t matter now(
Says the lady who took a $430,000 salary from 'higher education'.
I'll take a lambo!
Yeah.. hard NO. Unfortunately my wife and I have $100k+ in student loans. They suck. But we are dutifully paying them off. Where does it stop? Are others then responsible for our mortgage and auto loans too?
Democrats love to call things free.
Who would be paying for Pocahontas $400,000 a year professor job?
Actually it should be... Like going to see a doctor, college is a service with people who are employed by the institutions who depend on that income. I do think the cost of college has skyrocketed over the past couple decades and something should be done about it.
she needs to go to her tribal Council and request they pay off the student debt with their casino profits.
Will this be retroactive? So the people who paid off their loans get nothing and the people who chose not to pay will be forgiven?
In other words less fortunate people that didn't go to college should subsidize the college debt of people that were able to go.

Everyone should lie like Elizabeth to get in
This political party supports abortion-on-demand, abolition of sex, anti-religious discrimination in law, government-as-god, and terrorists who murder 8-year-olds voting.
If it was that easy, wonder why it hasn’t been done before? Oh that’s right, because a lot of people would lose jobs.
I know too many smart kids who planned correctly, borrowed heavily to get a marketable degree, then got good-paying work, then paid off their debts completely. Now you want them to carry the student loan debt of everyone else who couldn’t manage their plans. No thanks.
Lizzie’s plan won’t eliminate debt. It will only transfer it to tax payers. Students who pay for school themselves often take class more seriously. When it’s “free” many will use it as a vacation cuz they aren’t invested in their future.
When tech needs to recruit outside country for talent, it's time to !ook at what's wrong w/our education system.
Can’t owe student loan debt to government if government stops making student loans.
I will vote for the first democrat who can think of ways to implement new ideas without taxing us out of house and home. Anyone can spend unlimited funds. Show me one that can work with the current income! Election2020 NoNewTaxes
What's her plan for paying back people who have worked hard to pay off their student loans?
How is she going to pay for it ? Typical democrat raise out taxes to pay for free stuff, so they can buy votes.
Whose paying? The working class and billionaires....country is ruined with socialism as tax payers will liquidate and leave.
LOL! Am I getting a check since I already paid for mine?
ewarren I would like a reimbursement for working hard and paying back my student loans
Omg shut up
How can people ever appreciate something that is given to them for free. Also, this plan would exacerbate the issue of rising tuition costs. We need to do something about the cost of attending college, which has spiraled out of control largely due to guaranteed gov’t loans
When you take on the expense it is not a privilege! Here is the cycle: government gives 'free' money for college, colleges raise rates and the government raises taxes to generate that 'free money'!
And her ratings dropped.
So we can pay for kids to study philosophy for four years, then feed them our tax $ when they end up working at McDonald's with a worthless degree, & whining to mama government.
How about interest free college loan across the board?
Ah the election promises no one intends to keep.
SenWarren It’s not proposing, it’s pandering. There is no way this is financially viable no matter how Fauxchahantas puts it
An unemployed 18 year old kid should not be able to get an unsecured loan for 10's of thousands of dollars for ANY reason. Parents who endorse it should be ashamed of themselves.
All that money and we still need iron workers, plumbers, and garbage men. Also, are we opening another 500 colleges for the entire US population to attend? What about illegal immigrants (dreamers) who can't speak English?
I thought Bernie proposed that in 2016 before Hillary and the DNC illegally ran him out of the nomination?
Idiot
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
Yeah no Americans should pay taxes too..... forgive everyone and we'll return to a barter economy. She's got pow wow in the brain.
I would say if she makes it thru primaries she in.....Did anyone ever notice how many underachieving, freeloading, “voters” there are out there living off their parents....Govt can be just like mommy and daddy....SILENT MAJORITY BETTER WAKE UP 😳
Buying votes with other peoples money......
WTF? Oh yeah: VOTE FOR ME, FREE* STUFF!!!! *paid for by working lower & middle class taxpayers.

I am all for no longer giving for profit schools access to school loans. They are abusive.
Ever think that it might be the college that is the problem?
If we embrace technology, we don't even need college. Further, many careers that used to be started with apprenticeships (that began when children were still at single digit ages) are now nothing but a capitalistic venture for universities. Solve the root cause, not a symptom.

If we didn't hand out college loans like candy to people who are totally blind to how their going to pay it back, we would force colleges to recalculate their prices.
Will the plan pay back the students who have already paid their loans? And how many years back will it go?
Would that involve her college loans?
Yea yea yea have another beer!!
That's not going to happen but you can start taxing the for profit universities and colleges and use that towards lowering costs of education by contributing to students who keep a 3.2 average or better yearly.
Until her base realizes that their kids can’t pass the entrance exams and they don’t have Aunt Becky money...
So since I chose not to go to college bc I could not afford it now my taxes would bail other people out for making bad choices. What a bunch of bull! Where do these people get their ideas from? What happened to personal responsibility?
Lmmfao Elisabeth Warren is pulling out all the gimmicks and shanigans. How are you going to wipe out some,but not all student dept.
Nice thought but it’s not enough. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate all student loan balances regardless of circumstances and get rid of student loans entirely. This won’t happen though of course For elite colleges, make people pay. For other colleges make it free
🤦♂️ (what a maroon)
And this would spur colleges to rein in costs and tuition increases how?
taxpayer funded, not 'free' don't imply someone isn't paying for it and that everyone will be us.
College is a wrong choice for some, making it free will encourage that wrong choice. We need more young people to choose trade schools.
I paid off my student debt decades ago, what do I get? Can the gov't pay my mortgage? I want to be bribed with free stuff too.
What about the shareholders of the lenders? Huge losses for pension funds and retirement accounts? People on fixed incomes hurt so people don't have to pay their debts? And why not forgive all debt then? Credit card debt. Car loans. Mortgages. That'll ease the financial burden...
THEN WARREN OR FAKE INDIAN CAN PULL OUT HER CHECKBOOK AND PAY FOR IT BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH RICH PEOPLE TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS DEMOCRAT BULLSHIT!!!
Maybe college just should not be so expensive. What actually goes on there, a teacher, a classroom, some books, for $50,000 a year. You just have to laugh at this American rip-off, what a joke.
Sounds like campaign promises 🙄
Absolutely absurd idea. And who foots the bill? It’s not the responsibility of taxpayers or the rich to foot the bill for people to attend college. You take out a lian, you should be obligated to pay it back.
Not sure how this is gonna work. But anyone willing to take my student loans away. I aint gonna fight ya.
Whole role do colleges play in tackling rising costs? saying it’s either students or govt is unnerving
Bad idea!
