Rather than just paying off student loans, why not give *everyone* that sort of financial security? [View all]

This is my problem with both Warren's and Sanders's student loan plans: they would do a lot for me, a college graduate with a few dozen thousand dollars of loans still to pay off, and do precisely zero for my brother and sister in law, an electrician and waitress respectively, who never went to college. I would love to have that debt paid off, but I absolutely am not going to campaign on something that gives me tens of thousands of dollars and gives them nothing.

This is why (and, come on, you knew this was coming) I support Andrew Yang. His proposal for a Freedom Dividend for all adult citizens would let people with student loans use the money to pay those loans off, while not leaving people who never got to go to college out in the cold.

We shouldn't limit our proposals to just the richest part of the population. We should be advocating programs that help all Americans. I don't want to run on giving me money and giving my brother nothing. Help us both. Vote Yang.
