Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I read this summary, "Presidential Candidates on Student Loans: The Complete 2020 Guide". Notably, Sanders' "College for All Act" is the only one with legislative history; so I read the 2017 bill's summary and some sections. The devil is in the details highlighted and conspicuous omissions in that summary (ahem) even supposing congress enacts the whole thing after Sanders' or Warren's election. These are the only candidates proposing semblances of (1) conditional students' debts forgiveness--commercial and federal lenders?; (2) federal grants to institutions/eligible and qualified? student ("free tuition"); and (3) federal loan products' principal/interest modifications.

A provision establishing severable trust funds for designated separate-but-equal ahh ethnic colleges is ... inexplicable rather than illustrative of universal equity.

It ought to go without saying, that reserving interest-bearing debt marketing was an especially non-trivial repudiation of celebrated ventures into US "public school" education from cradle to grave; campaign "democratic socialists" and their antagonists are in for a rude surprise; also fuck Benthem and generations of "liberal" education spawned by such doctrine. My opinion is that interest demanded be prohibited except for speculative ventures to acquire exclusive property and rights (from government), I have mentioned before.

Incidentally, BernieSanders.com doesn't have either that or another draft posted.
