Warren Defends Student Loan Plan
Elizabeth Warren Friday brushed off concerns expressed in a viral clip of a so-called angry dad who argued that her student loan forgiveness plan rewards irresponsible behavior.
In a clip shared on an anonymous pro-Trump Twitter account Tuesday and amplified by conservative media, an unnamed man tells Warren that he gave up vacations and saved money for his daughters education so that she wouldnt have debt. We did the right thing and we get screwed, he said of her plan.
Asked about the clip in an interview on CBS This Morning, Warren responded that younger Americans are getting crushed by student loan debt, which is roughly $1.5 trillion.
Look, we build a future going forward by making it better, she said. By that same logic what would we have done? Not started Social Security because we didnt start it last week for you or last month for you?
