Interested in spirited but respectful discussion.

@amelia_tweetz We either need Medicare for All or mostly free market aka buying car insurance.

@billyrobb33 @rpondiscio Agree with going big on civics education. The citizenship test should be the starting point. What do we want students to do with what they learn since one could argue that our republic needs engaged citizens.

@SteveOnSpeed Many people can't afford to pay more than the minimum. Haven't you heard how many people are putting groceries on the credit card?

[A More Perfect Union @dialogusgc]

@mrmikeMTL Disagree. Credentials matter a lot. They show that you have a certain skill set.

[A More Perfect Union @dialogusgc]

@StephenMoore Because people want a stronger safety net. Many people want a quiet and more peaceful life and aren't interested in making chasing money the centerpiece of their existence.

@PattonAmy @WilliamT268238 @ewarren And does everyone declare bankruptcy on credit cards or personal loans? And if for some reason they do that just proves that the government set up a system that puts millions under duress.

[A More Perfect Union @dialogusgc]

@_Locke_XX @WallStreetMav Yes, but in the last 50(?) years or so it has become apparent that a high school education is not enough training. However, people are completely on their own for paying for college or trade school.

[A More Perfect Union @dialogusgc]

@BillWiIdin Don't many trade school students have student loan debt?

[Patrick Donohue @Presproverbs]

Lawmakers don’t treat #StudentLoans as urgent
Fewer than 5% have federal student loans.
Their children rarely face servicers, interest accrual, or the punitive collection system.
Not enough organized political pain.
Loan servicers have full‑time lobbyists.

@christinaJBWin @Presproverbs @AP @WSJ @AARP @FoxNews Agreed, it certainly hasn't worked and it has created a 1.8 trillion dollar fiasco.

@loglib1 @ewarren They also need to return bankruptcy rights to the loans.

[A More Perfect Union @dialogusgc]

@WilliamT268238 @ewarren Learn the facts. Student loans are not covered by the bankruptcy laws. They should be!

[A More Perfect Union @dialogusgc]

@ewarren Well then support bankruptcy rights for student loans. You chose to not support the bankruptcy bill back in 2022.

@educator4ever36 I still have not heard a justification for why these wish lists exist. We pay taxes to support schools. Is there no money budgeted to buy school supplies?

@tylerblack32 Additionally, when people are depressed they don't feel like exercising. However, therapy and medication can get people to a point where they can exercise.

@MapleStax Some people like to leave something for future generations.

[Jeff @escaperabbit]

@ABC7NY There will be 20 million student loan defaults by the end of the year. Get ready, Eyewitness News.

@MattWalshBlog Once again, you show that you really don't like women.

@educator4ever36 Icebreakers are really unfair to introverts.
