Sanders to propose eliminating all $1.6T of student debt in US: report

Bernie Sanders, the 2020 hopeful, is set to announce on Monday a policy proposal that would eliminate all $1.6 trillion of American student debt, according to a report.

The Democratic presidential candidate’s new proposal calls for the federal government to wipe clean the student debt held by 45 million Americans, including all private and graduate school debt, The Washington Post reported. The proposal package also includes making public universities, community colleges and trade schools tuition-free.

Sanders reportedly plans to pay for the lofty proposal with a tax on Wall Street, which his campaign says will generate more than $2 trillion over 10 years. The tax would focus on financial transactions, the report said, such as a 0.5 percent tax on stock transactions and a 0.1 percent tax on bonds.

Man does either Democratic candidate actually have any platform that will have a chance to get approval? This is hilarious what these idiots consider to be national political agenda. These proposals will go over like a turd in a punch bowl

Sanders can help by selling two of his houses that he obtained while running for President in 2016 election. How many homes will he get this time. Also, what about all the families that lost their homes while these students were going to school on someoneelse's dime. Alot of student loans did not go to the colleges. Don't feel to sorry for these individuals who are in debt because of student loans. If you check alot was used for vacations, weddings etc. Don't believe me, just look closer at those individuals with student debt. New car lately. Just saying.

Not the consumer. The consumer is the one getting the bail out! Tax payers pay for it!

The only reason the option is on the table is because of how much money the federal government spent and made on student debt.

Sanders also want to change the rules on a Grand Slam in baseball. The team that hit the Grand Slam will get 2 runs and the opposing team will also get 2 runs. Fair is fair.
