Elizabeth Warren Has Latched Onto the Issue That's Beneath All the Others

[Tweedy]

52. Only federal loans, but private profiteers

Yes. The federal government does make money.

Yes. There are private profiteers

1) for profit mills (which should not be allowed federal student loans imho)

2) student debt buyers who buy for pennies and hunt kids for the total amount plus interest at a much higher rate than any of us can get anywhere

As for adding to the deficit--
It would be a drop in the bucket compared to the GOP tax cuts
it is an excellent investment in the future
And
Young adults need money to start their lives which, unlike trickle down economics, ends up boosting the economy, not billionaire bottom lines
