Elizabeth Warren unveils 'broad cancellation plan' for student debt
:wtf:

all the responsible people that have been paying / paid them off already:

:rage:
College tuition is out of fucking control, roughly doubling every 10 years. 3% cost of living adjustment my ass.

That said not everyone needs to go to college to earn enough to live a great life.

My oldest is finishing up his bachelors in a month or so. He will be $50k in debt. We paid rent, living expenses and books along the way, else his debt would have been much much worse. 1 almost down, two to go.

It has to happen at some point - either cancel the debts or have a hard cut off on public school tuition, where people who graduate today have to pay for life and people who start tomorrow have to pay nothing.

You can't retroactively un-fuck everyone over the age of 20, but that alone is not reason to keep fucking everyone else for eternity. Improvement has to start somewhere.
:dat:
The status quo is certainly not the answer.

That’s more than I paid for a 1800 square foot 3BR/2BR townhouse in a desirable Philadelphia suburb.

I couldn’t imagine that at all. Christ.

My brother is an aerospace engineer. He works for electronic arts as a quality manager because there were no jobs for aerospace engineers when he graduated.

He's been having troubles finding internships. Or rather even getting responses.
