Elizabeth Warren: Give students the same deal as big banks (unemployed, Brown)

[sickofnyc]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren introduced her first standalone piece of legislation Wednesday, calling for the government to give student borrowers the same deal it gives big banks when they need a loan.

If the Federal Reserve can float trillions of dollars to large financial institutions at low interest rates to grow the economy, surely they can float the Department of Education the money to fund our students, keep us competitive, and grow our middle class,” Warren (D-Mass.) said on the floor of the Senate Wednesday.

Good for Warren and great for the people of Massachusettes that had the smarts to put her in office...

"Growing the economy" helps provide more jobs for those that are currently unemployed, including the many new college graduates that have been forced to move back with their parents. Helping students pay for college means more people with degrees that can't find a job.

What a loon. The Dept of Education should nothing more than a think tank. It should not be providing money to anyone. Fauxcahontas needs to go back to her teepee and keep quiet. She is not qualified to be a senator.

Warren is basically THE only person in office fighting for the common American. So glad she defeated corrupt Senator Brown.

Senators represent the state they are from. The "people" are represented by the House. Fauxcahontas Warren ran for the wrong job.

Except that Warren is on powerful committees (like the Senate Banking Committee) that determines financial policies that run the entire country...

... and most majored in fake programs that won't lead to a career that will support them.

A committee that she is unqualified to even have a seat. Warren should be serving coffee if anything.
