On Monday, Sanders will submit legislation that cancels $1.6 trillion of student loan undergraduate and graduate debt for approximately 45 million people. His ambitious plan has no eligibility limitations and would be paid for with a new tax on Wall Street speculation.The proposal goes further than the plan already unveiled by his Democratic primary rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
"We are going to forgive student debt in this country," Sanders said."We have for the first time in the modern history of this country a younger generation that if we don't change it, and we intend to change it, will have a lower standard of living than their parents, more in debt, lower wages than their parents, unable to buy the house that they desire.
Thanks Bernie , it would help us out TREMENDOUSLY
CancelStudentDebt is Too Big To Fail! Thank you, Senator Sanders! ❤️
Oh great...another socialist idea in a capitalist society. Whatever happened to working hard and paying your own way!!
Reparations, canceling student loan debt, curing cancer. These people are so pathetic. People please don’t buy into these shitbags headline grabbing promises. These people have been politicians their whole life and have accomplished nothing. This is truly mind blowing.
How about rewarding all those who either PAID theirs or chose not to go into debt in the first place?
He's getting desperate now, with SenWarren moving up in the polls & past him, so now he's throwing out plans to just 'buy' votes, instead of more practical & fairer type plans for everyone! Warren2020
Bring on the inflation and new bitcoin highs. I don't see BernieSanders having a chance in 2020.
DrJillStein wanted to cancel student loan debt in 2016
I refuse to retweet you cnn even when (miraculously) you get something sorta right
Lmaooooo i might just vote Democrat to get my debt paid off. See how all those republicans that ignored their morals and voted trump for “financial purposes” like having a decision that affects EVERYONE. PS- those financial incentives didn’t have much return, if any
Sure now can we regulate professor and administrators salaries simultaneously so the price stays down? Socialism should address both sides of the equation right?
Well, if he could do that -he has my vote as a republican . My son has a combined college debt of $250,000.
Yes! Go Bernie! I have about 100k in student loans!!! I need help! I didn’t even finish. I dropped out to travel. I think traveling is so much more important than school. I haven’t been able to work because I am traveling .... love travel! Please erase my debt!!!
Well thats a joke nothing is free some one has to pay for it go back under your rock
Does his plan include have the colleges reimburse the people for their student loans or is this another taxpayer's pick up the tab to get me elected idea?
Here's how it will help the economy -
To do this we need to restrict payment to all elected persons to congress and the senate to a total, including expenses,to one thousand dollars per year. All election funds left over go to the general fund. Each member of each house is covered by medicare including their staff.
FrankDangelo23 A bribe. Who's going to pay down that debt? He is desperate.
You’ve been in the Congress and the Senate for 28 years, so one must ask why not before this? Oh that’s right. ElizabethWarren already has a plan.
If that’s the case I will want my stinking money back for eight years of self funded higher education 40 years ago. What a tool!!
Sounds like he wants to make America great like it once was. Before Obama bailed out Wall Street
What about those of us who paid off our loans This just looks like a way to buy votes. Taxpayer money is not to pay off a persons debt nor pay for their higher education.
Dude is off his meds again
Just Student Debt? Why not eliminate all mortgage debt too? Seriously, am I the only one who thinks cancelling student debt thru taxes wud benefit the mainly White Middle Class? Sort of an anti-Reparations plan. Most hillbillies n Ghetto Yuts left out in the cold. 1/n
FrankDangelo23 Hey Bernie, what is your next desperate plan to buy votes? Are you going to be the new Oprah? You get a car, and you get a car and you get a car!!
Haha
Sure.. other people paying for some people's stupidy..laziness.. feelings of entitlement.. lack of responsibility.. so on and so on. No..nothing is FREE. He has NO solution but if so concerned he is rich..he can pay for somebody's problem. Bet he won't spend a dime if his money.
It can't be done unless we turn the US into another Cuba. High government corruption (Well, Dems and Rhinos like that), exorbitant taxes for all, no middle class-alk poor except for the people who fuel the policies, standardized salaries, redistribution of personal property, etc.
How about my student loan debt that I worked my ass off and delayed other purchases to pay back. It was only 20 years ago but I should get all that back shouldn't I? Right, right? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Lost his fucking mind!!
Yeah paying back loans you voluntarily took out is for SUCKERS!!! Working and paying taxes is for SUCKERS too!!! I’m gonna quit working and paying taxes and go back to school when this passes! Get my second round paid for by “other people’s money”!!!
Loony!!!
I think ewarren beat you to it BernieSanders
Why are these gov giveaways usually funded by tax increases instead of spending cuts? Oh yeah... identity politics and class warfare is why. Remember when a college degree put a resume at the top of the pile?
Why not.. You're probally going to claim the money your wife stole from that University, a student loan..
3/ I also know kids who passed up scholarships to the 10 school and went to the 3 school and racked up huge debt getting their advanced degrees. They should pay it back. AGAIN - these loans should be low interest non-predatory but SHOULD NOT BE FORGIVEN.
Good morning. Daily reminder realDonaldTrump is your president.
I want money too! Gimme!
So for parents who made major sacrifices, worked two jobs, etc. as to not incur debt get screwed? Um, no.
Cool!!! UNTIL ITS NOT...
2/ I know other kids went to school and their parents couldn’t afford it so they took loans. They should not get a pass on paying them back. I am sorry but this is like. I paid mine back - wasn’t easy but they were also much less predatory in the 70’s.
Somebody’s got to pay for that debt, will it once again be the middleclass workers
Why do people attend schools they can’t afford? Why should the government be responsible for that debt. What planet are you from? Who’s going to pay for this?
How bout a nice little reparations checky check for those of us responsible enough to pay off the student loans we signed up, and knew the terms of? No? Guess I’ll vote for realDonaldTrump then. Trump2020
Bottom line is I’m going to buy votes. College debt, reparations, tax anyone making decent money to pay for lazy. Great plan, suck all the reason for people to work hard right out of them. Been doing that to African Americans for 50 years.
1/ Do NOT agree with this. I am all for non-predatory loans and low interest but eliminating debt altogether- NO. I busted my ass to put money in my kids 529 so they wouldn’t have debt, yes that was my choice.
Yes, teach a generation that it's ok to make horrible choices in life. It's ok to have way too many people choosing nearly worthless degrees and keeping tuition high. Don't encourage high sch kids and their families to make better career and education choices.
The 'government' wasn't delegated any such authority. If this is approved, I will never give this criminal syndicate another penny as long as I live. Enough is enough.
and this is why Trump will win again, landslide victory back to back. So I plan and save where I can to get my kids through college and I get no relief but my tax dollars are going to wipe the debt free for all who did not plan? This generation is being ruined by the Liberals.
I attended a community college and a state school while working and I'm still drowning in debt. This would literally allow me to afford a home and have a family. If Democrats want to win, this is the way to do it.
Almost as crazy as when he said the Boston bomber should have the right to vote still 🙄
He’s got my vote
I’m surprised the business community is not pushing for student loan forgiveness. What do you think millennials will do when all of a sudden they have hundreds of additional dollars a month to spend? StudentDebt loanforgiveness SenSanders
Did Warren already announce this? Smh
Pathetic and trying to scrape up young votes. Health care is what people need. Act of a desperate man seeking election.
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny should be available to help. They only work one day a year.
Finally a candidate addressing the high cost of college. This is an ez fix have all the left wing teachers work for nothing. This simple act will cut cost significantly
I actually paid off my student debt like a normal person that owes money
The dems have now become the party of buying votes by bribery. CamilaHarris bribing black voters w/slavery retribution. Pocahontas ewarren bribing native Americans with retribution money. Now CrazyBernie SenSanders4Pres now trying to buy votes by canceling student loans.
How about we just lower the interest to 1%, something reasonable.
Taxes are not the answer. Some day people will get enough of this wanted free education that they will learn that. It trickles down to the poor man. Work is the answer but oh wait....that’s the real bad word.
Watching hope it is nothing like ,ewarren her plan is trash and she knows it.
Does this include parent plus loans?
Can we pay off mortgage debt next?
Yeah, and who's gonna pay for it?
No means testing at all? What an incredible waste of money.
Its sounds wonderful on the surface. But all its doing is feeding the meme that Democrats are out of touch with reality. Thus more confusion, division, and Lost Votes. I keep saying it, we need 'Equilibrium' Not wild swings. Again a Faux Dem pushing away swing Voters. SNAFU!!
He will eliminate it by making us all pay super high taxes to cover his pet project. I prefer to keep my money than to give it to corrupt politicians like Bernie and the garbage Democrats.
How are you going to pay for all you promise. Never an explanation!!
Yeah, just print more money, let the government pay it all, no taxes either. Doesn't make much sense if everything is free but our taxes are at 75%. I want to be free of taxes also. Just print money and let the government pay for everything. Tax debt relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will BernieSanders also propose reparations for those who have faithfully paid off student loan debt....as we were contractually obligated to do? He should use the Edgar Winter Group song, 'Free Ride' as his campaign theme... SocialismKills
Free college, free healthcare, reparations for blacks, reparations for gays, forgiveness of student loan debt, free abortions... Anybody who believes all this BS is totally nuts.
We could take half of the military budget and use half of it every year for like 5 years and pay this bill off without even having to raise taxes.
Do it!
If we can bail out the policy whisperers on Wall Street, we can surely help those on Main Street who did as they were told by the meritocracy: went in debt to get an education & now can’t find a job that pays enough to keep up with rising housing & healthcare costs. 🤷🏻♀️
Can’t wait to hear how he is going to this through the Senate. Or is the plan simply to say what ever is needed to get through the Primary?
Eliminate = paid for by raising your taxes
Maybe ask of those out-of-work gender studies majors will get jobs at Bernie's new 'Ministry of Silly Degree'
He is also going to propose that you can now own more than one unicorn at a time, and that magic beans will be replacing the dollar as our national currency.
My wife and I want to be reimbursed for being responsible and paying her loans and paying $120,000 for our daughters college!
Promises promises promises......totally unreasonable to do. It’s the same as the demwit warren wanting to back the lgbt tax returns. Where the hell do you think the money is going to come from? Voting GOP in 2020!
Pushing us to vote for Trump. Taxe our pensions, 401K and savings to pay off the debt of kids who went to private colleges, grad schools. These will be the upper middle class wage earners of the future. Don’t we have more important needs- roads, bridges, seniors, immigrants?
Uncharted territories because he’s the first candidate ever to pander to illegal aliens. I.e. people that can’t vote for him anyway.
Why just college loan? how'bout all credit card debts as well? Not far enough, Comrade Sanders!
Do Democrats know anything other than tax and spend?
BernieSanders really? Who’s going to pay for it Bernie? Not me!
Not with my money BernieSanders!! Sell TWO of your THREE mansions Bernie and pay off a few student loans yourself. That’s what a REAL Socialist would do! HYPOCRITE Is your wife still under investigation? How did that story end?
How bout my house, car and credit card debt!?
As a reminder, BernieSanders is not a Democrat.
Of course you report this as Breaking news. No wonder no one watches you anymore. America is waking up to the fix being in. Every thing can’t be free. It’s all a ploy to buy votes. Someone has to pay for. Oh I know, let’s tax the big rich companies. But wait. Who creates jobs.
Bernie, getting votes with fake handouts! The entitled youth is so dumb they will vote for him!
he going to pay back the iwnni had to pay off? many kids getting loans so they can go out and party and live in expensive apts
Sounds nice but I’m sure that will never happen
Cancelling student debt will free up disposable income and act as an injection into the economy with a significant multiplier effect. This will pay for itself
And shift the debt to taxpayers.
The man is just plain nuts!!
Never happen schmucky !
Y’all realize he’s just baiting you in for votes? This isn’t realistic. And the people buying this are the ones who claim to be educated & all about equality when all it really is about is being selfish & bettering your own life at the expense of others who’ve paid their debt
What about me? I worked hard, cut costs and paid it off?
How about just eliminating interest on those loans. I knew what I was doing when I was in college, but paying back 3-5xs as much is awful.
While your at it, lets wipe out irs debt, parking tickets, school lunch payments, alimony, all of it. We, conservatives, will continue to work and give everything to the libs and you distribute as you see fit. MAGA
Pandering Bernie has seen his lead in voters in the “free crowd” shrink to the Queen of Pandering 1/1024. So it’s pedal to the medal between these two hypocritical fools.
This guys only “ideas” are to spend billions and now trillions of other peoples money to fuel his own unfulfilled ambitions. Get out of here.
Will he be standing in front of a Soviet flag?
Obama said same?
🎼Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you!🎼
I'm not paying for anyone's college.
Go after the colleges to lower the cost of education. Don't just forgive loans. The former require will require work. The latter is just waving a magic wand to get votes.
Sounds like a high tax hike to me.
Desperate
Sure looks like Bernie would increase the national debt even more than Obama
Danny , The world needs ditch diggers too!
Forget it. Bernie will never be president. Just an odd hasbeen from Vermont.
Many of us created a 529 plan for my kids and eventually paid off most of their college. Why are you punishing us
what would be more fair is to provide a certain amount even it’s its only 10grand - one time- to all college students & those who have their degree... at least it would pay off that last bit of most loans & help those going- if you choose private, that’s your choice to pay more
Not realistic but interesting concept
this is his angle? jeesh
That guy really loves spending taxpayer money. Too bad the people of Vermont still don't realize what a fraud he is.
And exactly how are we going to pay for this?
Bernie Sanders states he is a Independent, yet runs as a democrat ? His policy are that of Sweden or other Socialist country ! Thus America is every thing suppose to be free ? What happen to earning and paying your way to success ! Not be handed it . Talk about restitutions
Yea. Let’s do it. Green New Deal also. 3 day work-week. Let’s all be rich. This guy has it figured out. Same ideas as my three year old.
Oh hell, can you buy me a beach house too?
After watching 3 siblings suffer depression over high debt from CHEAP schools, my youngest is terrified of going to college. Something needs to be done in our country. Fear of college debt is creating mental health issues. Why can't people see that
Not going to fly still try get to that big house crazy idea
Next question is how are you going to pay for it. Not with my taxes.
Add a provision in this plan to refund people like me who worked two jobs while attending college. I worked my a$$ off to avoid debt. REFUND ME or NO VOTE. REFUND!!!
Tuition cost and loan interest rates are made up arbitrary numbers that differ from actual market rates. Not to mention 20-40 year olds are an economies biggest spenders so if they don’t have to pay 25% of their take home income in fake bills they’ll spend it elsewhere
Not with my money! BS should be his name, he is a waste of good air.
Uncharted? Didn't Warren think of it first?
So the plumber is to pay for someone else’s choice and education. The tax on the rich could be used for healthcare and to improve the current education system.
Talk about buying (bribe) votes. Who does he expect will pick up the bill? How many colleges will this put out of business? Is this really teach people who excepted this obligation the right thing? This will force students to pay 100% as you go through college
He's only copying EWARREN2020 ! She talked of getting rid of student debt months ago already!
The teal problem is the cost of college tuition. If that is not controlled tuition costs will continue to rise. Pie in the sky idea and he is trying to come up with the biggest giveaway before the debate. Who will come up with wipe out mortgage debt?
Ridiculous welfare transfer from poor and less educated to the college educated middle class
One thing I never understand, in the UK as well as the states is why student loans are charged to people like doctors, nurse's, teachers and other areas that help the community at large?
Typical let’s offer some free stuff and get some votes.
Just find a way to lower tuition rates and interest rates.
I bet General Electric will love it lol
It’s cheaper than a war with Iran will be. And more productive.
Ok so I'm going to pay for someone else's debt. That's the problem to many freebies while I work fifty five hours a week.
We're looking at the new housing bubble 'student loan debt' outrageous high interest rates and no good paying jobs after graduation.
Sure that will happen 🙄🙄 he thinks he will be a dictator or something that he will have the power to do so.
If you take out a loan you pay it back...that’s why it’s called A FUCKING LOAN
Crazy Bernie! Personal debt is just that. It’s your obligation to repay. Don’t want debt then work and pay for what you want. No one put a gun to your head and made you go into debt.
In other words, Bernie Sanders unveiled a plan to not be elected president.
Idiot proposal. Wiping out debt thru a Wall Street tax will simultaneously wipe out 401k saving plans. Unintended consequences of a pandering communist
He has my vote right there
Hmmmmmm...bet I can guess who's votes HE'S going after. I paid off my student debt MYSELF. So, if I am understanding this correctly, as I am now a gainfully employed taxpayer I will be punished for it by paying off someone else's student loan debt? Wow.
I am thrilled. I paid my loans and it took years of struggle and stress. If my son and others doesn't have to ...its a beautiful day!
Excellent!
He will do anything to get publicly before the debate. Warren has one too. He wants news coverage. No more no less.
Never would happen. The Senator understands how to get votes.
More false promises from politicians and people fall for it....remember fools, Bernie needs a congress to agree to this stealing from Paul to pay Peter
That will attract millions of young migrants immigrants
Comments on here just proves further that u cant really satisfy human beings. Damned if u do damned if u dont i guess....
This plan will prove to be unaffordable and untenable. It's either going to result in increases in taxes or significant cuts in other programs. What are those programs? This will NOT work indefinitely. CNN FoxNews nytimes wsj washingtonpost USATODAY latimes SenSanders
let’s pay everyone’s student debt by raising taxes that screw everyone . that way when people try to buy groceries they can’t afford them , forcing more people to rely on gov assistance programs. which is exactly what they want.
Another handout No. You voluntarily incurred the debt, now pay it back.
This is the same idiot who bailed out of the presidency because Hillary gave him money. He will say anything to get votes. Democrats you have to do better than Moe , Larry and Curly.
It’s not about fair,,, it’s about buying votes at taxpayer expense. It’s a “Hold my beer” campaign season. I understand now Pocahontas is supporting Gay reparations
I think I’m starting to get it. You just give voters more and they vote for you.
Has he given any thought to the consequences of such a move? To the students, to the tax payers, to the unity of democracy?
jessicadean 😂😂😂😂😂
Bernie for prez 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
jessicadean Still cheaper than the fucking tax cuts, and thus gives recipients more disposable income that goes straight back into economy , it is a win economically.
jessicadean Garbage. If you borrow it, pay it back. It’s too expensive? Tell grifters like Warren to stop charging $430K to teach a few classes.
jessicadean Guess what the price of tuition is going to do now? Everyone who worked, sacrificed, saved and paid off their loans for school just got a giant FU from democrats.
jessicadean Over 20 Democrat candidates competing to see which one can give away the most free 💩 and who pays for all of this free 💩? the Tax Payer including the 'Middle Class' that's who. TAXES TAXES TAXES
Its just sad that the enlightened belive his bullshit will realy solve the collage scam
I love all these “I did it so you have to too” arguments.
Let the Free Handouts/laziness of this Country continue. What about taking out the debt of those that did not got to School/started a small business, took out a house loan, car loan, etc... unlike College attendees. BernieSanders Ilhan are out of their minds! MAGA KAG
What about those that have done without so they could pay theirs. Make them whole.
jessicadean REACTING TO American RACIST PASTOR. WhiteSupremacist StopIslamophobia stophating IslamIsPeace
jessicadean Ugh and stupid millennials will eat this up and think it would actually happen.
jessicadean A very cynical ploy for the young vote.
jessicadean Please add that to his bill. TrumpWarRoom
jessicadean LOL.
It's a race to see which democratic candidate is the biggest idiot. It's going to be tight.
My vote..
What are his feelings about mortgages? He can pay all mine off! It’s just getting to be too much for me this ... this whole concept of adulting.
He’s just a senile old man
More proof socialism is greed. You get yours free paid for by someone else. Watch the cost of college tuition go up even higher. Get government out if the student loan bus completely. Tuitions will go down. BS is just buying votes with other people’s money
Just like that. Wow what a magician. That's called buying your vote.
So I and many others scraped together $ and paid for college using savings and loans so we’d have the opp to improve our life and income. And now We get to pay for others to go for free? And colleges will have even less incentive to control costs. And America wants this why
What a nut job. Totally unhinged.
Free college for rich kids paid for by the working middle class
Twitter needs a laugh button for these ridiculous socialist proposals.
Let universities pay it off from their endowments then.
Reimburse those who already paid in full?
I would imagine that this is a benefit to only those well off enough to go to college.
Sorry Sir, this would not get you the nomination.
I want the money I paid for education paid back if everyone else gets free college
Good luck!
Why can't the tuition be CHEAPER AND MORE AFFORDABLE instead of raping our students? 🤔 Also stop sending illegals and minorities to school for FREE so I do not have to pay. Socialism does not work. BernieSanders has never passed a bill in his career and has never worked!
Will he pay out of his pocket or will he pick the pockets of us taxpayers?
Instead, fix the broken system that caused the problem to happen! This is terrible policy. Many reasons have been mentioned. Also, this could not be a one-off and will encourage future bad behaviour. Please, Dems, put forward a rational candidate to beat Trump
loved how DrJillStein sold this in 2016. stimulus package
So that is what the democrats are running on Millennials wishes for their debt to be wiped clean poof it’s gone give me a latte😂😂😂
How about erase my mortgage?!
Rather than pay for college I’ve decided my kids can take out large loans now so the government can pay it off.
'ANOTHER BERNIE OFFER, THAT WOULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN'
BernieSanders How about eliminating taxes for working seniors on Social Security and other for forms of taxes up to a certain amount. Students knowinly made made these loans and should pay them back, maybe reduce the interest rate and cap future loans
DESPERATE DEMOCRATS !! Bernie Sanders will buy votes by canceling students loan debt and other candidates offer free healthcare to illegals and voting rights to 2M convicted felons. Has their whole party gone nuts 🤷🏻♂️🤷♀️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♀️
Hey Bernie Sanders, if you eliminate my mortgage, pay off my house, I’ll vote for you. Everything free.
Bernie, you have my full attention.
While he’s at it, I have a car loan & some credit card debt - it would be great for him to take care of that debt for me too.
This should be interesting! What a ploy to get uninformed voters to back him!
Stick it to the working man, eh Burn?
You clowns believe him
Do the ones that fulfilled their financial obligation get reimbursed or is it only for those with a socialist mindset?

You just have to support a fundamental change to a SOCIALIST society! Freedom or repay debt....hmmm...I’ll gladly pay my debts, socialism isn’t worth it!!
Now thats the way it should be done. Warren plan was disgustingly exclusive.
No.
Banks will then increase interest rates for mortgages and other loans to make up for loss. Plus they’ll never make education loans again.
Sounds like territory ewarren already charted
Time for the nursing home Bernie
That guy does this I’ll never pay a bill again
Wow promising free stuff if you vote for me? That’s so different from all the other Democrats running😂😂
It's actually kind of disgusting how so many people made this decision. Took on this debt and now want other people to fix the problem they brought on. Its actually sad that theres a huge population of people who dont want to take responsibility for thier actions.
Why don’t you used you own money to I pay for it? Your policy will bankrupt the U.S. voting for Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Time to retire, Bernie
You need to hold American Universities accountable for the excessive rise in annual tuition. Universities were gouging the American parent & student. 50% of the coat MUST be shouldered by the university system. They were part of the problem too.
Education is the primary need of every country for anything else just follows it. Good health care, respectful politic policies, etc. Most countries in Europe have very low fees or free education. It is the lack of good education that brought America to the sad state it is now!
What credit do us parents receive for working our tails off everyday and night to help pay for our children’s education?
Socialism not come through
Offering impossible freebies to get votes. It's almost same as offering 1kg of rice to each reg voters in poverty suffering communities in Africa in order to get votes...😂😂😂😂😂.
This should have a cap or a percentage of debt forgiven. Forgiving all student debt is great on paper but in action very unrealistic. There's just a huge gap in college tuition between schools. Some schools cost more in one semester than other schools do for a four year degree
Well good thing we’re not trillions of dollars in debt
Bernie can feel the quick sand under his feet and is willing to bankrupt the USA in order to save himself.
Anybody want to tell him that his plan doesn’t bring in enough money to pay for what he wants to do?
Morsi’s son accuses Sisi and other officials of killing his father. SisiKilledMursi FreeEgypt fromsisi_killer HumanRights FreePoliticalPrisoners
With our money, nobody's paying off the rest of our debts, except ourselves. These nutjobs gotta go, they're gonna bankrupt and destroy this nation.
My o my! 🤘🏾
Imagine all the morons succumbing to this socialistic idea... with zero regard to the complexities and precedent which will be set. Not to mention every single respectable citizen who made the responsible choice of paying it back and knew the commitment of taking out a loan.
Progressive ideas are always good, worthy of discussion... but too-fast-progressiveness? That, is bad.. it will crash & burn.. A Balanced, carefully thought progress, & listening to both sides of this Bipartisan Govt.. this is our current Govt, 2 sides.. Balance, is important..
Thank god. This will improve the lives of so many young people. They should start based on an income to student debt ration and go from there.
The first step should be to limit the amount that Universities charge.
I paid off $45,000 in student debt, do I get a refund? Or are you just going to encourage stupid Americans to go further in debt because maybe in the future we'll get a pass?
Haha! Heard this one before !! Corbyn anyone ?
Let me guess, communism?
You get my vote SenSanders 💯
I can beat that. If I’m elected, I will write off all student loans. I’ll make college free for everyone and anyone who already paid their loan off can get their money refunded. And illegal aliens can get free college, a free house and a NEW CAR!
Those students in Canada, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Colombia... and so on will be delighted.... or did he just mean the USA?
This guy could not win even if he was the only one running.
At the EndOfTheDay, BernieSandersIsNotADemocrat! 😒 BernieSandersIsUnstableLikeTrump! 😤 BernieSandersIsPartOfASeriousProblem! 🤔 BernieSandersMustWithdrawFromRunningForPresident! 🙄 The world CANNOT AFFORD AnotherTRUMP! 😢 VoteNoToBernieSanders! 🤢
I'll tell you how to get rid of your debt get a job and pay it off like everyone else!
How about fixing the system that will continue to drive more people into debt after you pay it off instead of having to do this again later. Oh right! Because that'll be the voting line. Vote dem, we pay your school debt. Those silly reps just want to make it cheaper. How awful!
California had virtually free public college in the 70's, before Reagan Germany/Scandinavia don't burden their youth with debt College debt is modern day slavery
Good we owe it to every American who ever had to pay for their education to contribute to their country. Now just get back and use the money Trump spent on golf trips to give free health care.
🚶🏾
He is a moron and he has been in politics for 50 years. Just trying to buy votes. How about showing your spread sheet that tells tax payers where the money will be coming from? He can’t and won’t! Someone has to pay for this and it shouldn’t be me.
Pretty sure Warren has been working on that but whatevs
Paying that off is literally the only way I’m building a legitimate credit score right now... so I can buy a house later... yeah, it’s debt, but it has purpose.
Bernie is not aatch for Trump. After witnessing the chaos on the border and the disgusting presence of Omar and Rashida with their defiance to challenge American tradition, even White Democrats Latinos and Black evangelicals are supporting Trump.
No thank you, I don’t won’t my tax dollars going to pay off the useless lesbian dance theory degree some privileged hipster wanted to get. The colleges should have an obligation to tell students which degrees aren’t worth shit.
Yeah fuck that. I want my money back too, Bernie!
Not 'uncharted' but very much CHARTED marxist lunacy.
BernieSanders, I'm enamored with your track record, your policies and of course you're authenticity. NoMiddleGround NotMeUs
If this nutjob is the leading candidate, I'd rather side Trump. I'd take my money from US stocks and run away.
This is why Trump will be re-elected. Democrats are going to fall over themselves with ridiculous social ideas and dreams of grandeur that will be impossible to pay for. Focus on real, pragmatic ideas and problems.
Anything to get elected eh Bernie lol
This guy is a real nut job!!!
Hey could he eliminate my mortgage too, since he is giving away stuff for free
This means taxes goes up.....there’s nothing free on this world.
mrsswiercz He needs to cancel my swimming pool loan too.
Let’s not stop with just that what about my bar tab my car note oh and my mortgage
Wanted to win election 🤣🤣🤣👌👌 चुनाव जीतना है तो कुछ तो करना होगा
Man that sounds good, but I would never sacrifice the future of my country for some promise even if i was sure, his socialist crap is a sure loser! Hell no!
Higher education is a nation’s best investment. It should be free. Withit, Trump would for instance never have been elected. Might want to figure a way to compensate those that worked never to go into debt though.
What a great idea.... so how far back is the retroactivity going to be?... The Hook in the Mouth Gang better listen closely to how this is going to be paid for...
Instead of buying a house, I paid my student loans back. Will you buy me a house in LA now that I can no longer find anything affordable?
Impossible, unless he’s the one paying for it.
This would finally give a needed lift to the working class. That would fund additional education, home ownership, new businesses and maybe, some would start a family. The country has bailed out big business many times. Why not the working class for once. Good plan.
What about the kids who decided not to go to college because they knew they couldn’t bear the burden of student debt? They made mature choices that will hinder they’re future earnings. Now they’ll pick up others debt in taxes? You’ve got to be kidding me😡
Sanders must really getting desperate for votes. this is sort of in the relm of Yang wanting to give people over 18 $1000 a month. Whats next wipe out mortgages?
Do I get reparations for paying mine? Thought I'd give it a try since reparations are trending...
VivaRevolt Is eliminating student loans, medicare for all, climate change projects and widened social security a good way to go with a natonal debt of over 17 trillion dollars? Is this fair for future generations?
Trying to buy votes
Free Ice Cream. Get UR Free Ice Cream ovuH Heeayre! Smart political ploy...awful precedent and policy.
Please dont fall for the lie hes not gonna do that shit
So eager to spend money that is not his. How heroic🙄
So now everybuddy has to pay for everybuddy's Loan? Because there is nothing for free. And ...... its very very racist to all the BLACK ASIANS HISPANICS who had to pay for It but now its free? Who's gonna pay back the black's? Or do dems set back the blacks again?
What’s his plan to reimburse those who worked hard and saved to put themselves through college? Wait, are you telling me they will now be taxed to pay for those unwilling to work hard
Think Liz Warren already charted this territory
YUP .... The collective will work fine. There are several fine examples of how this worked!.
Hahahaha Free Free Free 1% will pay for it all!!!
Whose going to pay for it him?
Someone return this senior citizen to his home please
Of course. We can also pay for the with rainbows and unicorn farts.
He doesn’t look very healthy
Might as well ban all private school. Then free for all that can make the grades.
Bananas4Bernie BernieSanders plan to CancelStudentDebt will be an excellent economic stimulus. If Bush could spend trillions bailing out Wall St, we can spend a fraction of that eliminating StudentDebt and providing CollegeForAll... FeelTheBern NotMeUS
I think Bernie is Trump supporter, he comes out of his cave every four year to make sure Democrats get devided during election year and Republican president wins.
Good luck lol
This is unfair to those who stuck it out and paid their debt and to all those future students. What should be done is make these debt payments and future student college expenses “tax deductible “
It’s like a contest on who can spend more money
I don’t have a student loan. But I’d like some free money. You went to college pay your damn loans.
Well that’s a wrap for Bernard. So who’s still a viable candidate?
🤣Ol’ Crazy Uncle Bernie Commie
I want reparations for the student loan I payed back already, plus interest and more for the stress in caused me for so many years
Stupidity. This is what politicians do to win people by throwing future generation into darkness
Maybe he’ll get some of his Russian trolls to do some hacking. Russia if you’re listening... shows you how desperate a stage Bernie is at. He knows he is losing. He won’t be the candidate, another more competent person will.
As much as I want Trump to lose and someone like Bernie to win, he will never win with claims like these
Today's youth will suffer enough in the future because of climate change that previous generations caused.The minimum is to give them at least some relief,so they will have one less problem to deal with. ClimateChangeIsReal studentloans sunrisemvmt
Mental stupidity is setting in
STOP THE LIES BERNIE! STOP MAKING PLANS TO STEAL OUR TAX PAYING DOLLARS! STOP CORRUPT DEMOCRATS STOP CORRUPT SOCIALIST! KAG MAGA2020 WALKAWAY VOTEDWMOUT
Vote buying!
STUDENT BAILOUT!
I took out a $7,000 student loan. I owe $54,000. Whatcha gonna do for me, Bernie and when?
I’ll believe it when I see it
Uncharted stupidity
chitownstandupp HAAAAALPPP US BERNIE HAAAALPP
making promises he can't kkeep.bernie's m.o.
Well shit... can you repay me what I paid?!?!
Jesus. Again with this?
Don’t forget the reparations for mine which I paid off 25 years ago
Can you also reimburse all of us who’ve already made good on our student debt?
the american hugo chavez; populist and liar.
Whoever votes for him based off of this idiotic unicorn plan IS DUMB AF. We as TAXPAYERS would be helping “eliminate” the debt for the next 200 yrs! Trump
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Gonna get a lot of votes
He had me at eliminating my student loan debt!
Buy those votes Bernie!
Let me guess? Make GOP pay for it? 🙄
Tell that sack good luck...
Absolutley ridiculous. Forgive my mortgage at the same time. Please have a normal person on to talk with this idiot. Take the extra tax plan you have to pay off our national debt. You want to cancel some kids college loan debt who racked up 200,000 to get a socialist degree.
But what about the loan debts of undocumented citizens?
Reparations and free stuff for everybody!! Yay! I’m sure this has nothing to do with votes. So glad we can trust these politicians.
I was just thinking, election isn't to far off when is BernieSanders gana go back and capture the college kid vote.
Can I please have the 40k I just paid off. Oh wait. It would be my money anyways
I've already paid $65,000. Because of interest, I have $80,000 to go. To get a leg up in the world, I'm now getting a masters degree that will be $40,000 total. As a female I am making less than my Male counterparts who have less education than I do. I cant win.
That’s so fair to all those who have already paid their loans off.
And today kids, we learn about how inflation and the economy works.
Lol
God forgive these kids have to get a job and pay for something. That what going wrong in this country don’t work sit back with your hand out. Oh and give yo the illegals sad sad sad. You demo are just nuts.
Cool idea. No problem, the one percent rich folks can easily pay for it!
This fool is trying to buy votes.
Damn! Sounds like Bernie has even more money than Kamala Harris. Where do they get all this money?
Can he take care of my mortgage and credit card too?
That’s not fair to the people who saved and did without to pay their loans and those of their children. I’m ok with lowering tuition costs and interest rates but not those who borrowed knowing what they were borrowing. Community colleges and state schools cost less to attend.
And that solidified Joe Bidens nomination
How the hell can you just make it 'disappear?' It's just not feasible, which is why I support JoeBiden for the Democrats! ⁉️👍
Nothing is free. Someone will still pay that massive debt and most likely it will fall in the form of taxes. Is it fair for me to pay higher taxes to help alleviate debts not paid by others even though i worked my ass off to pay my student loans?
Right after I get paid back for the tuition I paid for mine and my kids’ college education.
I eliminated my student loan debt. I paid it off.
You don’t have a clue
Listen, I know how crippling student loan debt is. And I would love for it to be wiped away. But the hard truth is I signed the paperwork. I didnt understand what I was really getting myself into, but that is the hard lesson I had to learn.
Praise be
Sidhu_Bee
This is recycling money any money taking from Wall Street will be billed to the consumers Bernie is just coming up with bull shit this has to be voted on and no way this is going to pass I advise the young folks that have student loan don’t bank on nothing Bernie says
You take out a loan, you assume an obligation to pay it back. Why stop at student loans? Why not mortgages, auto loans, small business loans? If you don't want the obligation, don't borrow the money. I don't agree with Sanders' socialism or lack of personal responsibility.
Is is fair to those who paid their loans the last number of years?
Free, free, free is for me. The classic socialist dangling carrot
Can I get a student loan refund? Mines been paid off for 10 years at least.
Doesn’t ewarren have a plan for this?
Does that mean you will get the 💰 money paid out already?
Wow Crazy Bernie will say anything and give anything for a vote! People I hope your listening closely to these candidates!! No solutions other than I’m going to make everything free, and we all know that can’t happen!
I hope this is what the democratic party puts on the presidential ballot just so we can watch them go crazy about Trump for four more years.
I really wish people worried about paying for the bombs they want us to drop on Iran as much as paying for student loan debt. God forbid taxes go to helping people rather than murdering for the MIC.
It’s a free for all shit show with all of them
So u pay it off, how about the current, and upcoming graduates? Would only a few low key colleges be 'free' or how about state and ivy league? Give me a break.. where does it end? How about the student works and saves up their money for their room and board.. or work study
Biden2020
These crazy crazy people
He will submit legislation... Will never be law..
.BernieSanders got precisely the result from his cancel studentloans debt tactic-Center of attention. PR. Tweets. It’s a campaign promise, empty!
And Mexico is paying for it!
The party he uses to run doesn't even want him to win. Last year they rigged it you think it won't happen again.
Another plan 😂
Isn't Pocahontas trying to buy our votes with that same bribe? I mean promise.
Wow-we have become a give me society. What happen to hard work to attain your goals n life
He has my vote!!❤
That was paid for by states not the feds.
What a dreamer-get realistic. Socialism!
Good job
Next president in line..BernieSanders! 2020 callingit
I’d like a free Tesla too. Thanks Bernie & Bros.
How about mine that I already paid off?
This will be a boost to the economic viability of an entire generation.
And for all the parents who; scrimped, saved, didn't take vacations, drove used cars, worked two jobs, worked overtime, rented instead of buying, etc., etc., to pay for their kid's educations...Do they now get refunds?
(1) I’m a fiscal conservative and my thread detailing why i support this and you should too begins now: I grew up in a lower class family with a single mother who made less than $38k a year in CA with my sister. It was just us 3. I began working full-time when I was 15-and-a-half
And a free unicorn 🦄 as well!!!
Is Bernie going to pay it or does he know that the DNC is going to RIPP him off again?
Free stuff🙄oh wait he will raise taxes to what💥so now you’ll pay the rest of your life for others
I also have a strategy to end all future student loan debt. Works like this: 1) no students take out loans for college. 2) The number of students enrolled would immediately drop by 69%. 3) All but a small of college and universities would be near bankruptcy within a year...
That’s right! I’m gonna buy your vote! Reparations! No student loan debt! Woohoo! That’s the route he’s going. If you vote for me I will give you money....and how quickly he will take it away. How quickly they all will take it away
Hope he didn't get the Plan from A.O.C....
Better way to fund it: Raid the college endowment funds! End the tax exempt status of fee charging universities.
How you gonna pay for it.!!?....He is such a Nuisance in the Democratic Party!
How’s he gonna do it? Where’s the money coming from?
Hahahahaha
Hello higher taxes.
this is not possible to end that much debt in 4 year time.
FreeShit2020 candidates have zero chance of winning anything.
Brownie points here if he wipes clean the student loan debt for medical students and sends the bill to SpeakerRyan.
Well he won’t get my vote, but if he wins and this goes down, I won’t complain! KAGA2020
ALSO ELIMINATE THOSE CREDIT SCORE FOR HUOSE PURCHASE AND RENTAL
What about people that have paid?
Now this is a step in the right direction, private debt relief.
Democrats always want free stuff
GrandpaPander is tossing the Hail Mary.
Election year promises are easily made, rarely kept.
The Dems primary is a race to the bottom.
This is actually not uncharted territory. Back when the government subsidized higher education, a whole years worth of tuition and room and board could be saved up with a minimum wage summer job.
Is he wanting Trump to win ?
Just ignore...ain't gonna happen, Bernie
Every dem is promising free shit - it is like watching a game show. who will top who in promises that are too expensive to even consider?
Can we get reparations if we have paid back loans already? I mean if we are rubbing lamps, making wishes, and printing money, I thought it appropriate to ask.
Stupid. When it becomes free there is no value. This is stupid.
That’s never gonna happen lol
How : Populism : Free all :
He’s not a Democrat!
看来每个人都在专心讨好自己的支持者，而不管现实逻辑是否可行，毕竟民主国家嘛！
Go to bed, sanders.
Whatever Bernie. I have lost track to all your pandering
Populism! He should just pay all the debt for all the American families
I don't agree with elimination of all student loan debt... Maybe the majority percentage that is due to the inflation of tuition costs thanks to a certain group of people allowing Sallie Mae and other crooks to hike up tuition rates.
Then why won’t Bernie claim to be a Democrat? He remains an Independent— seems his chances might better running as a Dem? Kinda cheatin, Sir- jus sayin
Ok Bernie... You have my attention
But what if we already paid it off? Why should others get for free what others already paid for? Will Uncle Sam be writing us a check? ItsOnlyFair GetBackOurFairShare
we should cancel all student debt retroactively to beginning of time.
I already paid mine off. Reparations for me.
We’re gonna sell all the unicorns!
soooo hes taking ewarren 's approach?
