Add in that Bernie wants to cap student loan interest rates at 1.88%, much like he wants to cap credit card interest rates.
You know what that means? Lenders are going to tighten up their qualifications for lending, if they're not going to make as much money. Why risk lending to a high risk individual for a pittance? So it may become harder to GET a loan, unless you have very good credit.
They're missing the point. Its not the interest rate, its the amount being loaned, which goes back to the cost of college. 5% is not horrendous, but lending $250K for a basket-weaving degree is.

Help me understand.... Bernie proposes wiping out all student loan debt and funding it with a "Wall Street speculation tax"? So I worked hard, paid off my loans, saved a few sheckles to invest, and now he wants to tax my trades to pay off other people not living up to their agreed-upon debt payments? Fuck that. Simple....not his money. Pretty much the Dem platform boiled down to a nugget.

Abso-fucking-lutely. Believe is a little much, but hell yes, Im happy he kept Hillary out of the White House, and I hope he keeps Biden, Bernie, Warren et al. out of the White House as well. This is his crowning achievement, making his crudeness, gaffes and brusqueness palatable. The fact that he's at least trying to keep his campaign promises is a bonus. The crying from the lib-bi*tches is just gravy. Their tears taste like candy. Who doesn't like gravy?

I'd add to that, when I chose college for me and walked my 2 daughters through the process, we considered cost almost primarily. My younger daughter wanted Wake Forest. She got in. I said..fine, you want Wake? Great school. I promised to pay for a public school. That's 25K a year. Wake is 50K a year. Since im a good guy , Ill pay HALF of the additional cost and you will borrow the difference. Are you OK paying back $500 a month for 10 years simply to go to a smaller private school? She said.. "I'll go to UNC". I said, smart girl.

My daughter now is in DC working for a republican. She tells me that she sat in classes where the professor stated that white men are the reason this country is in trouble. That was just one story of many she told me.

Youre a smart man.
Someone like AOC says "Oh Boston University is my dream school, I have to go there" even though Tuition, Room and Board total over $70 grand a year, so they leave school in huge debt.
I don't care what job you get after college, paying off loans on a quarter million dollar tab over 10 years is going to be a real uphill battle. But nobody forces you to go to a private school and you can often get just as good an undergrad education at a public school.
I keep coming back to asking why somewhere like BU would cost a quarter million dollars for four years? Bloated administrative costs and pay for the top people, ridiculous amenities that rival 5-star resorts?
And this is coming from someone who went to a small private liberal arts college - took loans, paid them off, but that was back in the early to mid 90s and tuition wasnt as crazy as it is now.

My school has a statue of Thomas Jefferson that the moron kids wanted to get taken down bc he owned slaves. Thankfully they didnt give in to the mob. But its only a matter of time.

I’m always asked if I could meet anyone from history who would it be... It would be Jefferson and Franklin is a close second . I’d ask him why the FUCK did he not consider term limits on congress and Senate. Jefferson May be the smartest American ever.

Didnt tune in. Was it a pillow fight where they were allowed to attack Trump the whole time whilst not discussing any policies or ideas they have?
