Minority Leader Chuck Schumer continues to put pressure on President-elect Joe Biden to forgive up to $50,000 in student debt per borrower on the first day of his presidency. “We have come to the conclusion that President Biden can undo this debt, can forgive $50,000 of debt the first day he becomes president,” Schumer said on Monday outside his office in Midtown Manhattan. “You don’t need Congress; All you need is the flick of a pen.” More than 40 million Americans have a lot riding on the answer of whether or not a president can forgive student debt without Congress. Borrowers could see their debts reduced or eliminated overnight if the president was able to act without legislation. Getting Congress to agree to forgive the loans, on the other hand, is not likely to occur any time soon, if ever." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 29

It will go away like things go away. And my view is that school should be open.” Coronavirus case counts in the U.S. have been averaging approximately 60,000 per day in recent weeks — a total which does not support the president’s claim that the virus is disappearing." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksAugust 5

The coronavirus pandemic is again rearing out of control, rising in a majority of states as a new warning comes that more than 200,000 Americans could be dead by Election Day. The United States on Tuesday recorded 60,021 new cases of the virus, a new single day record. But Trump barreled forward anyway, failing to offer detailed proposals or planning on the imminent question of how schools could open safely as soon as next month even as he admitted he intended to crank up pressure on governors to do what he wants. "I would say that when we talk about the fall, that seems like a long time. It's a long time," Trump said in an interview Tuesday with Nexstar Media Group. Trump on Wednesday tried to point to some other countries' ability to open their schools as evidence the US must do the same, but he is neglecting the fact that they all wrangled the pandemic through public health measures he's not pushing." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 8

Since at least the Great Recession a decade ago, borrowers, activists and others have been building a case that erasing debt acquired during students college years is a matter of economic justice. More recently, researchers have found that canceling some or all of the nation’s outstanding student debt has the potential to boost gross domestic product, narrow the widening racial wealth gap and liberate millions of Americans from a financial albatross that previous generations never had to contend with. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, both vying for the Democratic nomination for president, are proposing to wipe away some or all of the country’s burdensome debt as a key part of their campaigns. They plan to pay for it — and accompanying proposals to make public college tuition-free — by raising taxes on the wealthy. Warren estimates her plan would cost $1.25 trillion over 10 years, and Sanders says his would cost $2.2 trillion." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksNovember 26

The total reached $1.5 trillion in the first quarter of the year spread across roughly 20% of the population. Of the total, 11.4% of the aggregate debt is either 90 plus days in arrears or in default. Reportedly, only 54% of those with student loans make consistent payments. It's a disaster in the making, with many barely treading water. So, yes, student loan forgiveness is a hot issue—the real underlying cause being the cost of college, but fixing that doesn't change the spot many are in—and presidential candidates are addressing it. Some want major loan forgiveness. Kamala Harris got some attention over the weekend for a student loan forgiveness program she suggested, involving entrepreneurship in disadvantaged communities. But there are many problems with it that undermine the entire concept." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 29

Bernie Sanders’s proposal to make college free in the United States just got bigger: He wants to erase all student debt too. All $1.6 trillion of it. "The Vermont senator will unveil the most ambitious higher education plan in the Democratic 2020 presidential primary so far on Monday. The proposal would make two- and four-year public and tribal colleges and universities tuition-free and debt-free, and erase the roughly $1.6 trillion in student loan debt currently owed in the US, paid for by a tax on Wall Street. Currently, about 45 million Americans have student loans. This would cancel debt for all of them — regardless of their income or assets. That’s a notable difference from Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s free college proposal, which also provides broad debt relief but caps it for households with incomes over $250,000. Sanders is proposing funding streams to states, tribes, and historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to allow them to eliminate undergraduate tuition and fees. The bill would also increase spending on work-study programs and build up federal grant programs for low-income students for additional costs related to getting an education, from housing and transportation to buying books." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJune 24

Members of the group met briefly with state Senate President Karen Spilka Monday. "The [state] funding levels have decreased and the burden of paying for education has fallen on students," said rising UMass Amherst sophomore Emma Kinney, who expects to have $50,000 worth of loans when she graduates. "We've said it a million times and they don't do anything, and so if we need to sit in, then we will. And if we need to come back and do it again, then we will."

There’s near-universal bipartisan agreement that reform is desperately needed, but almost as much disagreement about what, exactly, to do about it. On Monday, Senator Elizabeth Warren, one of the Democratic hopefuls vying for the White House in 2020, released a comprehensive college-affordability plan that she believes could fix a fundamentally flawed system of paying for college. In a Medium post, Warren criticized the government’s hands-off approach as affordable access to America’s universities declined. “Rather than stepping in to hold states accountable, or to pick up more of the tab and keep costs reasonable, the federal government went with a third option: pushing families that can’t afford to pay the outrageous costs of higher education towards taking out loans,” she wrote in the post. To remedy this, she is calling for a series of ambitious proposals, including the cancellation of student debt, universal free public college, and greater support for minority and low-income students. Of course, Warren is not the first politician to call for any of these policies specifically, but the details of her plan separate her reform package from the pack; she plans to pay for it with her “ultra-millionaire tax”—an annual 2 percent tax on families with $50 million or more in wealth. Critics of a wealth tax argue that it would be difficult to implement—accounting for assets such as antiques or land poses considerable difficulties—and that it would lead to more aggressive tax avoidance." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TYTNetworkApril 22
