Sanders feels very confident in his proposal, even going as far as to brand the plan as “revolutionary” in a public statement.
In his own words:
“This is truly a revolutionary proposal. In a generation hard hit by the Wall Street crash of 2008, it forgives all student debt and ends the absurdity of sentencing an entire generation to a lifetime of debt for the ‘crime’ of getting a college education.”
Additional details and information will certainly come forward later today after Sanders formally announces this plan.
The Push for Free Services in America
With election season upon us, the leftist push for freebies in America is at an all-time high. Sanders is not the only Democrat to call for sweeping proposals in order to remove the fees of certain services in America. Elizabeth Warren, another 2020 Democrat, also wants to eliminate student loan debt; while her plan slightly differs from Sanders, it still involves a tax hike.
Colleges and universities are not mutually exclusive to the free services which Democrats are promising Americans. The left-wing furthermore wants healthcare to come free of charge; that’s why the Democrats are pushing for Medicare-for-All. Similarly to free college, free healthcare comes with its own tradeoffs, starting with the American people losing more hard-earned income to higher taxes.
