The Student Loan Crusader: How Elizabeth Warren Wants to Reduce Debt

[ill]

Where did you work while you was in college?

Pumped gas at Mobil for freshman and sophomore year. Apple retail for the remainder of college

 

[Fervid]

I'm just glad I finished college before tuition rates started to run away.

How many times is this strategy going to fail before the left acknowledges it doesn't work?

The issues driving the student loan problem have nothing to do with taxes on the rich being too low.... so correspondingly raising taxes on the rich won't fix them.

"Solve problems" by completely ignoring their root causes brehs.

Word of the day

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

so warrens solution is tied to the rate the banks are borrowing from the fed?

so when the federal funds rate goes up to more normal levels in a couple years (if the economy keeps improving) are we not in the same spot we are now?

what happens if we go back to the nineties when people were happy to borrow money at 9%?

 

[88m3]

Because student loan interest has to be eradicated(fully knowing that the gov so charged interest by the banks on the money they loan to students)

Only thing I want is for degrees to have different pricing

Making a sociology degree or something in that vein $10,000 while engineering and stuff in that vein is $20,000 would do wonders

There's no reason why every degree should cost the same

So in that scenario what pays for the upkeep, expansion, salaries etc of the colleges?

The Church? It damn well won't be the state who can't keep a surplus to save their lives.

It's not the goal if the state to keep a surplus?

There is more than enough money to fund this plan

Why can't people just pay their loans off? I did. There is no magic pill and it's not going to "go away". People are way too self entitled in this country.


I think student loans especially from the government should have a near 0 interest rate. Or it should be free. Students do enough to stimulate the economy that there is value in having them study in cities and towns around the country.


With that said if you have student loans you should pay them. You signed a contract and now you honor it. It drives me crazy that people think there aren't consequences in life.

Another thing, I don't have hundreds of millions of dollars but stop trying to tax everything to death and manipulate the economy. It doesn't work. It has never worked.



as far as that aipac blah blah blah goes if you don't feel Israel has the right to defend itself you've got a screw loose. no country in the world would stand for the things that they've endured over the years as the world twiddles its thumbs.

I was with you up until that last paragraph.

It doesn't seem like you have the life experience to answer the question or you didn't read it because you did not respond to what I typed.

that's fine

The colleges pay for it is my answer

Endowment & adapting their business model to the change

I didnt have to read it to know shes not solving the underlying problem. We wouldn't need a financing scheme if tuition weren't out of control (and people weren't on the hook for degrees they didn't complete). When you take a solution based approach to problems you have a much better chance of solving them.

You're problem is that you listen to respond instead of listening to you know...........actually listen. It's why you used to get mad at me for telling you were wrong in the most respectful way possible while going back and forth consistently with liberals on here like 88m3 who were straight up calling you stupid. It's because you're prepared for a battlezone back and forth where everyone just advocates their position and doesn't back down uncompromisingly but you're not prepared for a nuanced discussion that involves making a policy and political analysis. Your entire mode of debate is centered on counter-arguments in search of an affirmative argument. You literally make the EXACT SAME ARGUMENT in every thread irrespective of the subjective matter so you're prone to the same rebuttal that you have never been able to respond to. The rebuttal is simple--there are multiple means to attack a problem , making certain adjustments does not mean that you believe that you think a single policy is the ultimate cure all.

It means that you recognize that it can provide some immediate relief while you were towards the longer term goal. And it's completely disingenuous (but I think it's just being a stubborn type of dude like my older cousins) of you to continuously pretend that your privy to some information that the rest of us are not and that the people you're arguing with have not pointed out all of the flaws that you have. But instead of sitting back and waiting for that faithful day where that solution is possible, they choose to support policies that do something now to provide some relief. Your continuous use of the ridiculous strawman that every policy advocated for is being expressed as the final solution is laughable. Warren herself has never advocated such a thing. Your arguments are the equivalent to saying that it is pointless to get medical treatment prior to the eventual surgery because it won't solve the underlying problem. @CrimsonTider is right, lol@flipping this into an argument that raising taxes ITSELF is the solution offered.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I'm not going to cosign a bandaid that is designed more to tip toe around how shytty govt is than actually solve a problem.

This is essentially a long-term stimulus package for the economy.
