Of course he could have started with some real-world solutions, such as restoring the tax-deductibility of student loan interest lost in Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. He could have gone a little further, proposing aggressive tax credits for those who are paying their loans back or perhaps government programs, where, in exchange for working in an 'at-risk' area, the government makes your loan payment. No instead, Bernie promises something he'll most likely never be able to deliver. This is almost as bad as the current guy in the White House, who screwed all of the student loan borrowers with his tax 'act.'
- notacoward 7y agoThose are great suggestions. Bernie loves to make big proposals, but turning proposals into results is a skill he seems to lack. He has been in the senate a long time and IIRC only sponsored two bills that became law - one of them something symbolic like renaming a post office. Some first-term senators already have longer lists of accomplishments. We need more realistic proposals to improve the situation going forward, not his mere primary-vote-buying.
