Friends -
Today, an entire generation is burdened with a lifetime of student debt that leaves them less likely to own a home, and with lower wages and more debt than generations before them. We should not be punishing people for getting a college education.
It’s time to hit the reset button.
That is why I am proud to introduce a plan in Congress with Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal that will guarantee college as a right for all and that will cancel ALL student debt — $1.6 trillion owed by 45 million Americans, gone within six months.
And Wall Street is going to pay for the whole thing.
Our plan is revolutionary. Here is what we are going to do:
- College must be a right for everyone, so tuition will be free at all public colleges and universities.
- We’re going to cancel all $1.6 trillion in existing student loans.
- Provide additional assistance to students who need it to make college fully debt-free.
- Cap future student loan rates at 1.88% interest.
Wall Street is going to pay small taxes on their gambling — and those taxes will pay for our entire plan.
Sound good? Add your name if you agree:
We need the best-educated workforce in the world if we're going to compete effectively in the global economy. To do that, we must make certain that every person in this country who has the desire can get all the education they need — regardless of their race, their gender, their ZIP code, or the income of their family.
A full and complete education, from child care through college, must be a human right accessible to anyone who wants it.
It is a tragedy that hundreds of thousands of young people are giving up their dream of going to college because it is too expensive. And it is absurd that we have, at the same time, sentenced an entire generation to a lifetime of debt for doing simply what was expected of them — getting a college education.
That's not what America is supposed to be about. So we’re going to do something about it.
In 2008, Wall Street created a crisis of its own, and in return got a government bailout worth trillions of dollars. It was the biggest taxpayer bailout in history.
Now it’s time for Wall Street to pay it back.
We are going to cancel all student debt. We are going to make public colleges and universities tuition-free and debt-free. We’re going to create an economy that works for all of us, not just the top one percent.
And we’re going to do it together.

Together we can change our country. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteBernie Bernie Bernie You really are stupid.
ReplyDeleteNope, no name adding here.
ReplyDeleteLets see,NOT!
ReplyDeleteYou must be smoking crack if you think I would back any stupid dumbocrat.
ReplyDeleteHow is there additional assistance and a 1.88 interest rate if it's free. Just another lie. You know commicrats = liars
ReplyDeleteComing from a man who has NEVER done a days work in his life this is special. This country has been giving free college to immigrants for years. It is only true Americans who have to pay and I do not think they are going to stop that.
ReplyDelete7:43 PM I was going to make the same comment. If college is going to be free then what is a cap of 1.88% on student loans. The young, Millennial socialists are too stupid to see his scam.
ReplyDeleteHe and Obama are playing on the greed of these idiots thinking they will be getting something for free just to vote for them.
