Jill Stein (Green Party Candidate) Slams Fox Business

[2shameless]

Uh...did you forget the $700 billion bank bailout that George W. Bush signed into law?

The party of personal responsibility suddenly became the party of too big to fail.

Well to be fair 90% of Republicans in the House voted against TARP, it passed though a Democrat House and Senate and it has since been paid back. But yeah, Obama had no choice but to bail them out. Of course he did vote for it and all the money that was paid back doesn't seem to have gone to pay down the National Debt.

She is terrible...her message is terrible. Millenial college students who want their student loan debt wiped out are worse than the Bankers who got bailed out.

On one hand they will criticize Banksters for borrowing tons of money, making lousy investments, losing their assets and having the govt bail them out...while on the other they're doing the exact same thing.... borrowing money from the tax payers [essentially] in the form of student loans, making stupid investments in the form of Liberal Arts degrees and then want to get bailed out [student loan forgiveness] after realizing that they can't get a job.

Different side of the same coin. Except the bankers at least do something productive.

Students are borrowing money because they have to in order to afford college. And today getting a job without some sort of college degree is harder than ever. Wallstreet made ****ty gambling decisions, college students are investing in their future when they go to university, two different scenarios.

They don't have to do anything. The student loans essentially pay for themselves for those who chose wisely, did their research on which degrees have lots of job prospects. A 100k student loan is 2 years of salary on a 50k a year job. Stay home with mom and dad, keep your expenses low and you're debt free in less then 3 years.

I approve of some govt regulation within the framework that Govt is still in the student loan business [which they shouldn't be]. No loans for those who aren't majoring in any field where skilled labor is lacking according to Govt statistics. If you're not willing or are unable because the classes would be too hard or "so boring lol"...you get nothing.

$250K is an exaggerated number. Realistically student loan debt on average depending what university you attend ranges from 30K to 100K. You can however really minimize your student loan debt if you're smart and attend community college for two years and then transfer to a university for the other two.

Our problem is that Government subsidizes these loans and basically hands them out to every young person seeking a college education. This allows universities to raise their tuition to whatever they want since government will pay for it anyways. This then guarantees that this young generation becomes heavily indebted and a slave to the U.S government as student loans have to be repaid no matter what.

College education for many is a waste of money. Business used to be able to just give IQ tests to prospective employees but can't anymore because blacks don't do well on them. So the reason kids have to waste years in school and rack up huge debts is because of non-whites in their country.

That's right the youth of today should just go and work at Walmart for $6 an hour so the Waltons can horde even more money off the back of the working class.

No need for an education.

No. They should rack up a 100K in debt getting a Women's Studies degree and then go work at Walmart.
