Video has emerged showing Senator Elizabeth Warren on Monday being confronted by a man who says her plan to forgive student loan debt would be unfair to people like him who worked hard to pay off what they owed. The encounter took place during a Warren campaign stop in Grimes, Iowa. After the event, Warren greeted well-wishers who waited to shake her hand on the ‘selfie line.’ At one point, a man who appeared in his 40s or 50s stepped up a few feet from Warren and demanded to get his money back after paying off his daughter’s student loans.

Yes, Lizzie, by all means, let’s make college free for everyone, thereby making all degrees worthless. What a stroke of genius.

The man doesn't get it. People who work hard, pay their bills, and stay out of jail are Useless for the Democrat party. Their schemes are not intended to benefit mature, responsible adults.

In my college graduating class, there was a fellow graduate who had "worked his way" through college and it took him 10 years to get his shingle. He had not saved, his parents had not given him any financial remuneration, and he REFUSED to go into debt to do it. He persevered and he made it.
There were also others who had student loans who piddled around, virtually becoming professional college students who were called "fossils" who were also on the 10-year graduation plan, who graduated well over a decade ago who owe over $100,000 in student debt who will have a helluva time paying it off IF THEY EVER START--
Why must I be required to subsidize laziness, lack of effort, and lack of serious intent to actually graduate? Why must I be responsible and accountable?
Fauxcahontas like all the other socialists throw around the idea of "free money" around like it is THEIRS to give out like "fairy dust"....

This is a microcosm of the grand plan. Same for healthcare, if you work you pay via taxes, if you party and don't work the people who work pay for you. You get more of what you reward and less of what you punish. Hey I may have just figured out why socialism fails, I'll be darned.

They used to teach the fable "The Grasshopper and the Ant" in school. Being an ant now is considered stupid.

Anybody with an ounce of sense can see Lizzie's "plan" as pure vote-buying so why doesn't she just force the rich to send checks directly to their college of choice with some snowflake's name on it. It would eliminate the middle person.
There is already a free-college method out there but it would be highly distasteful to today's college snowflakes, it's called a four-year enlistment in the military. It worked for me and that extra four years of worldly education has proven to be very valuable.
She is also brazen enough to state that she will make college entrance easier for minorities. That plan is already in place and results in over fifty percent drop rates unless the college courses are dumbed down to the level of a public middle school. She and the other socialists have nothing but the same old and tired failed ideas but unfortunately we have enough stupid people in the population to fall for it over and over.

Martin A. Philbert, who earns $570,340 a year, was placed on administrative leave on Tuesday, according to a letter from the university'

My bigger concern is that it helps fund the growth and wealth of the mostly liberal university/media/democratic party complex. This shifting of all this money to these institutions help fund beliefs and candidates that I oppose. Let this debt continue to grow, with tuition increases, and classes like "Gender-neutral dentistry". This whole proposal is to force conservative(since we mostly pay our bills) to fund our own political demise.
Let it collapse; because the whole structure is unsustainable.

She has no intention of forgiving student loans. This pol knows that the country is under crippling debt and if people believe her she will get votes.

Ever since 1st grade I was told by my mother that my brothers and sister were going to go to college and that we had better save for it. Well, we all did and we all saved for college as kids. I saved every bit of my money since 1st grade in a passbook account. Yes, I did have to borrow for college, but it wasn't so bad because I didn't screw around and got it done on time.

He is EXACTLY right, and this is one of the many reasons that she will never be any sort of a serious candidate beyond where she is now.

Democrats don't like people who have jobs and earn their money. They want a "basic income" for everyone, based on government payola.

#5 That's because they thought Obola was going to wipe out their college debt. I know one of them.
The faux squaw doesn't explain that college is free and soon as you get a job you have to pay for someone else's free education.
She will say anything for a vote. Once a liar, always a liar.
