Tax payers bailed out Wall Street. They can help us #CancelStudentDebt.
Proud to introduce #CollegeForAll with my colleagues today!

I am $180k in debt. I have a PHD and am a tenured professor — my students are in the same boat, sinking in debt. I pay $1100/month in student loan debt, half of my rent. We MUST #CancelStudentDebt. Wall St got bailed out, what about us?! #bernie2020 @BernieSanders
Bernie Sanders Retweeted
Student loans are a scam.
That’s why I join @BernieSanders, @RepJayapal & @IlhanMN to forgive ALL student loans AND make colleges tuition-free.
PS: for the cost of the GOP tax scam (~$2 TRILLION), we could’ve already forgiven every student loan in America w/ billions left over.
Wall Street speculators nearly destroyed the economy a decade ago, and the American people bailed them out.
Now it's time for Wall Street to come to the aid of the middle class of this country.
We are going to #CancelStudentDebt and pay for it with a tax on Wall Street.
Bernie Sanders Retweeted
Are you truly free if you graduate hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt?
Are you free if you cannot pursue your dream because you don't make enough to cover your student loan payments?
We will #CancelStudentDebt because there is no freedom without economic freedom.
Almost two-thirds of all student debt—nearly $929 billion—in the U.S. is held by women. #CancelStudentDebt

Today a POWERFUL plan to #CancelStudentDebt is being released by three of my favorite leaders in the world:
@RepJayapal
@IlhanMN
@BernieSanders
It's not just an esoteric plan. They show us how to pay for it, the benefits, and so much more.
WE CAN DO THIS.

The @BernieSanders campaign is killing it on education policy. After releasing the most progressive K-12 education platform in American history, he follows up with the most progressive higher education platform: #CancelStudentDebt and free college. Universal public goods!
Bernie Sanders Retweeted
I don't want my children to have to worry about whether or not they can afford to go to college, and I do not want them to have to sign decades of their lives away to a bank.
It's a moral imperative for the future of our country's potential that we #CancelStudentDebt.

Why we need to #CancelStudentDebt
- Black students graduate with some $7.4k more in student loans debt than white students
- 2/3s of all student loan debt is held by women
- The average college student graduates with $30k in student loans
Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump want to make it harder for young people to attend college and reward predatory lenders that keep students trapped in debt.
We have a better idea: make public colleges and universities tuition-free and cancel all student debt.

Bernie Sanders Retweeted
16 yrs after graduation & still have 26k student loan debt - pales in comparison to many new graduates.
Tuition is much higher now & cost of living is also higher...only wages have stagnated. #CancelStudentDebt will help stimulate economic growth.

Senator Sanders is NOT beholden to Wall Street and he NEVER will be. In fact, he's devoted his career to fighting Wall Streets's predatory abuses on our students. #CancelStudentDebt

About 2 weeks ago, @BernieSanders explained his desire for a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights. See here: https://berniesanders.com/sanders-calls-for-21st-century-bill-of-rights/ …
One plank was "the right to a complete education."
#CancelStudentDebt + tuition-free public college would move the nation in that direction.

50% of Californians in the class of 2017 graduated with student debt at an average of $22,785 in debt.
That’s why @BernieSanders knows we need to #CancelStudentDebt

Iowa has nearly $13 billion dollars worth of student debt.
63% of our students graduate with $30,000 of debt.
It’s time to #CancelStudentDebt
It’s time for @BernieSanders

How much student debt do you have, and what would you be able to do if you didn't have it? #CancelStudentDebt

If we had cancelled all student debt in 2016, we would have shrunk the racial wealth gap between young white and black households (ages 25 to 40) from 12:1 to 5:1.

Student debt can deter you from moving, marriage, children, buying a home, choosing a particular career, leaving an unhappy, unhealthy or dangerous situation and overall limits whatever you desire to do for a decade or so. Want an economic reboot? #CancelStudentDebt
Black students graduate with some $7,400 more in student loan debt than white students. Just four years after graduating, the debt gap widens to $25,000. #CancelStudentDebt

If we could bail out Wall Street, we sure as hell can #CancelStudentDebt.

These responses from @BernieSanders represent a rare and important pushback by a major figure in our politics against the way in which the media uses empty language to diminish the significance of acts of war by presidents who disregard the Constitution.

Trump's immigration policies are sickening, disgusting and everything that this country does not stand for.
We need a humane policy at the border, not locking up children in cages.
We need to protect the 1.8 million eligible for DACA.
We need comprehensive immigration reform.
Americans are lining up in the middle of the night at temporary clinics, in parking lots and cafeterias, to get the health care they desperately need. That is an international disgrace. We must pass Medicare for All.
Bombing another country is an act of warfare. Period.
We must do everything possible to stop Donald Trump from escalating the crisis he helped create with Iran.
