Watch this video above of a military veteran challenging Elizabeth Warren on her plan to cancel student loan debt.
I would like you to justify the fairness of your proposed policy to cancel student loan debt. Nobody forced these students to take out the loans, so should it not be their responsibility to pay them back? Why am I, a taxpayer, who joined the military to pay for my college education, start paying for other people’s college education, and, to that extent, should you cancel my mortgage debt?
Gosh, don’t you just want to wipe that smirk off her face?
And to the veteran, I say, damn straight.
I would be far happier to pay for this veteran’s mortgage debt than whiny, entitled millennials college debt. So many kids come out of high school and make a possibly life-ending sacrifice of joining the military.
These are the only people who should get free college. Paying for everyone’s debt eliminates a huge benefit of military service.
It might even have the unintended (or perhaps intended) consequence of drastically lowering the number of people who sign up for military service.
Elizabeth Warren has been asked questions of this nature before. She has yet to come up with an answer to justify the unfairness of it and, frankly, does not seem to care.
She is pandering hard to the younger voters and nothing is going to change that.
