Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar threw her full support behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s newest plan to cancel student debt for 95% of Americans with loans; calling the current economic system a “national crisis.”
“Yes! It’s time we started treating student debt like the national crisis that it is. 69% of college students now owe over $1.5 trillion. That’s why I support debt and tuition-free and college and will be introducing a bill to cancel all student debt,” posted Omar on social media.

Senator Dianne Feinstein escalated her all-out war with the Trump administration this week; bizarrely slamming the Student Loan Forgiveness Program and demanding new information from Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Feinstein posted a scathing letter addressed to DeVos on social media Thursday afternoon, writing “The GAO released a report showing the Department of Education has denied loan forgiveness to an alarming 99.6% of individuals who applied to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.

ECONOMICS 101: Cortez Confuses Tax Cuts AGAIN, Wants to ‘Forgive’ Student Debt with Non-Existent Money
Embattled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubled-down on her calls for total student loan forgiveness Wednesday evening; bizarrely suggesting tax cuts could be used to finance her massive proposal.
“Cost of the GOP Tax Scam for the rich: ~$1.8-2.3 Trillion. Cost of forgiving all student loans in America: ~$1.5 Trillion. Clearly where there’s a will, there’s a way. When people say that there isn’t ‘enough’ to do these things, what they mean is they don’t *want* to do them,” posted Cortez on social media.
