Washington Sen. Elizabeth Warren is promoting an online calculator that shows voters just how much -- exactly -- they'd benefit from her proposal to cancel outstanding student loans.
Speaking Friday at Iowa State University, the Massachusetts Democrat and 2020 presidential hopeful asked people to take out their phones and plug their debt amounts into the calculator, which is available on her campaign's website. "Anybody in here have student loan debt? Anybody in here know someone with student loan debt? Okay, I think we got almost everybody," the Massachusetts Democrat said.
I know the students would.
You first
What about people like me who paid their loans off? Do we get paid back? reimbursed. Hmmmm?
Cancel all debt.....just make everything free
Hilarious !!
She's desperate and fading fast away
This alone says everything about Warrens moral character. These people promised to pay back a loan and Warren wants us to forgive and forget their promise. If one makes a promise, one must keep it, if not it is not but short of honesty. So is Warren showing honesty or hypocrisy
It’s a nice idea, but when folks default on unsecured debt, someone’s left holding the bag on the principle. In the case of student loans, that’s the federal government. So what would be the larger effects on the federal budget by forgiving the debts?
Will someone else (CNN) promote a calculator for the rest of us to see how much it will cost taxpayers?
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yes and when you graduate you are going to pay a lot more taxes to pay for free college 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It helps 1/1024th!
Am just waiting for Natives of USA (RED INDIANS)to comment on this.
No
I’m curious, would I get a full refund on my student loan? I have 3 more years paying it off. I think not. Besides I took it & I owe it. That’s a responsible person. Also, nothing is free. Someone pays for it & it will be the graduates who pay huge amount of taxes.
The calculator would matter if she had any chance to win. She doesn't. Thank you, next.
Not one word from her mouth is the truth.
Zero. Get your grubby paws out of my pockets.
She should be able to calculate her odds of winning the presidency and drop out.
Now Liz, show the American public how much of an income tax increase (60%) we all will have to pay for your 'free stuff'
you don't CANCEL a student loan, someone has to pay it off? who is going to do that, us!!
Lolololololololo.
Dont need a calculator. It does me 0 good. It's a ridiculous concept
Somebody pays, that’s a fact
Pocahontas is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
That’s it buy some votes. You God hating Baby hating United States hating constitutional hating gender bending Democrats.
Does the calculator show how much we all have to pay in INCREASED TAXES to accomplish it?
Fernand82638388 I’m glad you all suddenly care about exorbitant tuition fees and predatory student loans as soon as the possibility arises that you could be footing the bill.
The illegals don't pay for student loans.
So the universities KEEP their $$ and taxpayers get stuck w/ debt. I’ll pass on this slice of crazy.
Only idiots will want more government involvement in this. You want to understand why universities can charge so much? It's because of government involvement!
I demand reparations for the tuition I paid in the 70's.
Does it also show voters how much it will cost them to benefit others?
No no no there should be no plan other than military service. You borrow money you pay it back
The reason I’m most against any erasing of student debt is because it’s not fair to those who worked their ass off to pay off their debt. Don’t get me wrong tho, college is wayyy too expensive
She’s likely an Indian giver, but, If they are too stupid to see how much free shit she’s offering then they don’t deserve their degrees or any benefits.
Not happening
Senator Elizabeth Warren is wholly Qualified has outstanding INTEGRITY always tells the TRUTH and will make a wonderful HONEST PRESIDENT !
1/1,024th of a dollar
Debt forgiveness. Cool idea. Sorry who's going to pay for it? It comes from somewhere? How do I get a refund for the money I paid for my kids college fees then?
Most wouldn't receive a thing, they weren't stupid enough to get into debt. Most worked for their education instead of borrowing for a degree in arts sciences while living in their parents basement.
If that is the case... I too would like reparation for paying back my 100k in student loans . Sorry I didn’t major in gender studies..took a long path to be a doctor.. You calling me a stooge ? SenWarren ewarren
Does it calculate how much I’d get back from my already paid student loans?
I paid mine off. I’m not paying someone else’s off.
Riiiiight.....
I’m sorry but I don’t believe in a free ride you politicians never did anything like this for other generations and other generations had to pay their bills. They just have to work harder. Just saying my 2 cents
Promising free stuff to get votes And idiots will fall for it Politics 101
If you can’t figure it out without a website you need to ask for a refund
To all of the people who complain about 'being responsible' and 'paying for other people incompetence' I hope you put the same effort into complaining about small business paying taxes, when large corporations such as Amazon and Chevron pay none...
What about past student loans? Future student loans? Why do people always cater to a voter base instead of trying to do good for all? Politicians as a whole amaze me with their bs promises to get elected or stay elected.
I want the calculator to show how much I will have to pay other people’s debts
I'm assuming Mr Zucker that our darling Indian Senator from Massachusetts is calculating the loans that parents did payoff completely too. I want my money back as well.
Healthcare first please, then infrastructure, environment......then student loans. Unless you want to just legislate and end to predatory lending.
The students gain the TAX PAYERS get SCREWED!🖕 Pocahontas and her socialism!👌😂🤣😂🤣😎🇺🇸☝️
Teach kids to take out loans and not pay them back.
she will make a great dictator of a small south American country someday
How much will it cost the rest of us?
What do I get for living within my means, making responsible decisions and paying my back?
Does she include the increased share of the national debt for service members, plumbers and carpenters who chose not to go to college?
Cancel student loans? How about mortgages? Now that would get attention.
How would I benefit. I paid off my student loan. ewarren is a nut job. How fair is she being to those people who paid their loans. As a taxpayer who paid off my student loan, I’ll have to pay for others’ loans pathetic dumb ass
Simply redistribution of wealth. Not only did the responsible not incur significant debt for college thru choices or savings, but now the same people who paid their way will likely bear the tax burden to pay for the irresponsible who made bad choices & took on significant debt
I didn’t go to college but I did go to the school of hard knocks, and it probably cost me $250k or more from bad investments/dumb decisions/being lazy. Can I get some of that refunded?
Free stuff!
Cancel my mortgage debt while you are at it Pocahontas
What planet do these democrats live on ? They know they can't get this passed in congress. ALL LIES. Pocahontas looks more like a lunatic when she talks.
I wouldn't benefit seeing as the only way to do it by taxing us to death,ahh the Democrats dream
We know exactly how her plan would work. It’s so obvious. It’s so simple. It’s
Pandering is unattractive
And fairy dust for all....
Cancel the national debt, too. Oh, and refund the money I spent on college.
So my son who went to trade school is supposed to pay for my other son (his brothers) college? And my son who went to trade schools “projected earnings” are 50% less I don’t think so.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who is going to pay for this!!!! What about all those responsible students that worked their way through or went to junior college first. I don’t want to pay for kids going to expensive colleges!!!!
Riiiight🙄... because little miss Native American has proven to be so trustworthy and honest. You gullible moronic Dems deserve to be duped.
This woman is at true candidate for the office of President of United States of America. Unlike others who want even give you a straight answer.
Is it 1/1024 Indian ?
