Even if he keeps saying this, how would he manage to serve a 3rd term? The Constitution won’t allow it. I guess he could run as the VP, get elected on that ticket, and then have the newly elected President resign.Quote:

Sanders Proposes to Wipe Out All Student Debt With Funds Raised From Wall Street - WSJ
If you ever want to see Elizabeth Warren look reasonable, put her next to Bernie Sanders.
Quote:
Mr. Sanders’s plan, which he introduced alongside Reps. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.) on Monday, would erase all existing student debt, including private and graduate-school loans. Mr. Sanders would pay for the canceled debt with a new tax he is proposing on stock, bond and derivatives trades, which his office projected would raise $2.4 trillion over a decade.
Quote:
Earlier this spring, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), who appeals to many of the same liberal voters as Mr. Sanders, unveiled a plan to cancel a large chunk of existing student debt. Her proposal, which would cost $640 billion, would offer assistance to people with incomes up to $100,000 and cap loan forgiveness at $50,000 per person.
One thing no one is asking Sanders or Warren is what they plan on doing for future student loan debt after they forgive existing debt. Tuition will still be too high and new students will be taking out more loans to pay for their college education. Do they have to pay their loans back, or does the government plan to forgive all future debt, too?

It's amazing the ideas people have for other peoples money.
Except they are asking, it just didn't make the cut on headlines.Quote:

But many students—such as those attending graduate school or private undergraduate colleges—will still need to borrow money to finance their education. Those students, or their parents, would borrow money from the federal government at a much lower cost under Sanders’ plan. His legislation caps the interest rate on all types of new federal student loans at 1.88 percent. The current rate on new federal student loans ranges from about 4.5 percent to about 7 percent, depending on the type of loan."

Maybe the universities should give the money back since they apparently didn't do their job.
