Student loan forgiveness will sink any candidate that runs on it.

10. I like Warren's plan. I have no problem with loan forgiveness. The young of our nation have been

screwed by the parasitic financial industry in our country when it comes to public higher education. Just like like class the marginal homeowners who were sold a bill of goods leading up to the mortgage crisis. My wife and I sacrificed a lot to pay for our three kids way so they could get a higher education without huge debt at the other end. We are fortunate in even being able to sacrifice to do that. It hurt us financially and our retirement is not as stress free as we would have liked had we not made that choice. But I’m glad we did. And I certainly don’t hold it against others who couldn’t or didn’t make that sacrifice. Certainly not the kids.

Having said that. Your points are well made and well taken - by me at least. We shouldn’t get our hopes up on this one. Warren’ plan makes good sense to me but will easily be spun by lobbyists to make mindless people think their money is paying for other kids’ education. Nevertheless, we have to do something and it needs to be significant. It also needs to be fairly simple. The ACA has not succeeded to the extent it could or should have in part because of it’s complexity. In trying to keep everyone too happy, by necessity it became complex. So complex that it could be easily disabled bit by bit, to the point that it hasn’t solved the problem for a vast majority of Americans. That’s my view at least; do keep it simple.
