Robert ReichIf we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires, we can cancel student loan debt for over 40 million Americans.
Jim Maruschak ✅️@rbreich Go ahead and pass it through Congress then.
Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud@rbreich BuT tHeY'RE joB crEATOrs!
Tonio Loewald@rbreich if the pope is French I have telekinesis.
Ricki Yasha Tarr@rbreich Hell, we can tax billionaires to fund it.
OGJester has moved@rbreich money is fake, so what’s the big deal? Just mint a few trillion dollar coins so we have more fake money, easy peasy
Chris Mingus@rbreich the whole idea behind college is to give you the skills you need to succeed, but nobody can succeed with a massive debt that is unpayable by design hanging over their head.
Aysvelt@rbreich When machines do all of the work, nobody will need to pay taxes anymore. It will be a nice few years for us humans before the machines decide we are obsolete.
MyNameIsAND pay for school lunches!
MT Nickerson@IsleofSun @rbreich free student meals for kids in Maine. If we can do it, so can the rest of the country.
British Tech Guru@rbreich introduce it as a bill to Congress then!
Five Eighths@rbreich oooo sorry little buddy, that's going to be a no.
And you all look like junkys so let's make it extraordinarily hard for you to get medication that makes you functional.
Now get back to work, your break's over
Lawrence Of Alaska@rbreich should I be cashing in my 401K now before it’s ripped away
mudsharkbytes@rbreich Watch and see - they’ll kill it, I’ve absolutely no doubt whatsoever. They can’t stand it when ordinary people catch a break - only the wealthy and well connected deserve breaks is the way their diseased minds work.
Allan J Rolnick@rbreich What about all people who have paid or are paying their loans off? Everyone should pay some of their loans off. There should be no free lunch unless you really cannot spare the $1.00
Fuzzy Soft@rbreich Maybe we need to sue those billionaires so it goes before SCOTUS, where it will be DOA thanks to illegitimate members of the court. #expandSCOTUS
UnknownSUDO@rbreich It's simple to solve this problem: DON'T DO DEBTS. Fuck your debts bro. If you're out of control, it's your fault, not mine or billionaires fault.
@rbreich Don't surprise me the fact of your shitty country have a mass of man's without testosterone. Since the 60's the "mans" of your country turned into a bitches. Why today you don't talk about a real problem? Your eyes is paying attention into others richness. What is happening with United States of America? You're gay?
Dancingwiththebeloved@rbreich yep. The billionaire tax break was/is 4,500 times the size of the student loan forgiveness program. 1.8 TRillion $ = 4,500 times 400 Million $. Ponder that...
Paul Crabtree@Dridge3770 @rbreich
I believe the billionaire break was averaged over 10 years and the student loan figure is for 30 years, so an even bigger difference

LVN2DRM@rbreich Exactly so 👍 #studentdebtreliefprogram
@rbreich
Fed prints $. They cvs the right to give it wherever society benefits.

Dusty Beo@rbreich Yes yes yes!
Phil Landmeier@rbreich Yes we can, or could. But when it comes to Republicans, cruelty is the point.
The rich like it just the way it is and they've bought and paid for a government that will keep it that way.
Big Head Tales@rbreich This should be the model for the #Democrats election slogans:
If we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires we can fund Medicare for all.
If we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires we can make free college happen for everyone.
If we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires we can end reliance on fossil fuels.
If we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires we can end hunger.
Art Saves Us AllIt's true but it will never happen. People in debt need the "shit jobs" that keep them in debt.
Ana Madani@rbreich So why aren't we?
MarkTink@rbreich Sad to say this but the public education system created this mess since the 1990's by promoting college to kids over everything else.
