Offering “Free” College, Student Loan Forgiveness
Making monetary mayhem? Presidential aspirant Senator Elizabeth Warren wants government to provide "free" college and pay off student loans, but to pay for this unconstitutional idea, she plans to hit up a few rich Americans, as she does for several other spending proposals.

Item: An article in the D.C.-based Hill for June 13 reported that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had just “announced a bill that would forgive billions of dollars in outstanding student loans and wipe out almost all student debt held in the U.S.”
The publication quoted her saying: “The student debt crisis is real and it’s crushing millions of people — especially people of color. It’s time to decide: Are we going to be a country that only helps the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful, or are we going to be a country that invests in its future?”
Item: The Associated Press for June 16 reported that Warren and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders are among the Democratic presidential candidates who have proposed plans “to eliminate tuition at public colleges and universities, while former Vice President Joe Biden and others back plans for free community college.”
