'Of course Joe Biden should have canceled student debt' Why Biden didn't pick another plan #shorts

Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau explains why Joe Biden didn't address other parts of America's education problems on Tuesday's Pod Save America. Full episode up on our youtube #politics #shorts #biden #studentloans

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

Chris Christie had a brilliant idea: If a universities charges rise faster than inflation they get no Federal help, no research grants, no scholarships, no loans etc!

This is too complex of a topic for shorts. Still, good job explaining!

[ChaoticAngelKitten]

Well said. But try to explain this to a Republican whining about “where’s my money?!” -_-“

I went to college in the 1980s. The State of Indiana supported Purdue University by providing most of the money needed for the university because they thought it was a priority for the state to have a well-educated population. Since then, state support for colleges has dropped and continues to drop in constant dollars.

The problem is the States, not Congress IMO.

Cost of college is high, because you are thinking you will get a high paying job in a office, the market needs more garbage person and cooks and maids then lawyers. If everyone's reading the blueprint who's putting the walls up.

[OHz]

It doesn’t cost as much as colleges say it does, they can raise tuition because there’s no way to get out of your loan

[gregdenson]

It's your tax cuts at work.
Once upon a time college was affordable because rich people actually paid their taxes and some of those taxes were used to keep tuition low.
Then Reaganomics came along and ruined all that.

[springerworks]

The federal government will only make this issue worse.

[jeffpatton]

As long as you have people talking at universities like Elisabeth warren who demand two hundred thousand your fucked.

[carlklump]

Let's make taxpayer's pay for everything

[michaelgregorio]

Quit making them take garbage classes, just let them take their major courses they would be out in two and a half years. So complicated.

[John]

Maybe colleges raise their tuition *because* there's government assistance.

[donaldturner]

I paid my own student debt….why don’t you?

[alocarioca]

Who’s gonna reimburse the cost of College for us American Citizens who’ve paid our own college debt because we actually chose Degrees that warranted good jobs after graduation 👩‍🎓
Why only reward the students whom picked pointless degrees which warranted them zero good job opportunity after their graduation???
This makes zero sense and it’s shameful to reward those whom accomplished nothing in their lives, because on the long run, they become dependent on Big Daddy Government.

THE SOLUTION IS GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT.

Education is free in Iran and so many other free world countries, not that Iran is considered free. Greed and extortion rules overwhelmingly in America.
