“Student debt strikes began to pop up across the country, where borrowers stopped paying their loans in protest of the situation, and organizers helped propel regulations to protect student borrowers against misleading and predatory practices.” https://t.co/QT0BRk1FjN

Student debt cancellation was once a fringe idea. But now it’s gone mainstream.

This is an atrocious article that essentially does not dispute the false assertion that student debt cancellation is regressive. Shame on ⁦@BrookingsInst⁩ for lying to the New York Times. https://t.co/jnLPauV9Ny

I hope Biden does not succumb to the do-nothing tendencies of the Democratic nomenklatura and moves decisively on loan forgiveness. This could be his transformative FDR moment https://t.co/7JBb3NX5ps

Looking for a source on NYT claim that alleged Obama bailout of "homeowners with houses suddenly worth less than their mortgages was the original spark for the Tea Party movement, driven by people who fastidiously paid their home loans and felt left out." https://t.co/dDU9nKh340

"An October analysis by the Brookings Institution found that almost 60 percent of America’s educational debt is owed by households in the nation’s top 40 percent of earners, with an annual income of $74,000 or more."https://t.co/TKbFH1lEid

Just as the left in the UK supports abolition of uni tuition fees repaid by income-contingent loans, even though this would mainly benefits the better off, the left in the US support large student loan write-off that would mainly benefit the better off?.https://t.co/8HAbKw0wNL pic.twitter.com/XNmFumwVsN

TIL that forgiving $50,000 in federal student loan debt for every borrower would cost about as much as what the U.S. has spent on funding the Pell program since 1972. https://t.co/glViBPnVkk

If farmer loan waiver is the thing in India, it is student loan waiver in the US in these hard times. Prez-elect Biden has announced a waiver of loan upto USD 10K, but his Left allies want it raised to 50k.

I do not understand why paying off student loans is a hot button progressive issue. Why those loans as opposed to (say) credit cards, payday, auto, mortgage, etc? https://t.co/33tfpgOuTw

Among designated progressive institutions, there's an extremely pervasive culture of "we're the smart and savvy progressives you can invite home to meet your parents, not the dirty leftists." What smart and savvy means, however, is that you always lose.https://t.co/jnLPauV9Ny

Adopting the Schumer-Warren proposal for canceling student loan debt up to $50,000 would be a great way for Biden to find himself facing a 245-seat GOP House caucus in January 2023, something I very much doubt he wants to do. https://t.co/PrvULAJEkV
