I have a question that might not have an answer yet but i want to ask anyway

I have a college degree with no loans. Im looking into changing careers and maybe getting another bachelors degree in something different but i would need to take out loans.

Would bernies plan knock out my loans or allow me to have a free shot at another degree? Or is it just for non degree holders?

As far as I've seen; Bernie's plan is aiming to make state colleges tuition free. So it would allow you to have a free shot at another degree at any of the schools which qualify. Basically, anyone who applies and gets accepted would be jumping into a tuition free program if this popped off as proposed. For clarity's sake though, this wouldn't mean all colleges in America. Just the state schools that fit the requisites and comply with certain requirements. It wouldn't pay for every college option, but the free option might force other schools to reduce tuition charges to compete if a large enough collective of people choose free college over the bigger name schools. That's speculative though.

Cool.

Ive been looking into getting another degree but most scholarships are only applicable to people who do not yet already have degrees so I was wondering is this would be a similar scenario

"I think you've got a whole lot of people who are falling behind, and the political leaders - who have ignored that pain and that reality the fact; that people are working for low wages, they're spending half their income in housing, they don't have any health care, they don't have any educational opportunities, and a lot of people around this country - and this is why I think Trump won, is; people look at the Democratic establishment, and they're saying, "hey, um, yeah, do you know that I'm making 10 bucks an hour and I can't make it? Do you know that I'm paying a whole lot for rent that I can't afford? That I can't afford childcare? Anybody worried about me? anybody care about me? anybody knows that I exist?", and I think for a lot of those folks, you know, Trump comes along - I don't think people like Trump, I don't think they believe him - but he was different.

So I think - and that's true to a large degree around the world - a whole lot of people feel left behind, rich are getting richer, we have massive, not only in this country where you have massive income and wealth inequality, worse than any time since the nineteen twenties, but all over the world. So a lot of people are left behind and they're looking, unfortunately, to authoritarian leaders, who they believe can right the wrongs that they are suffering."

I’m fine with David Sirota and the team responding back to cable news acting in bad faith. no one’s campaign is gonna make or break votes because of one staff member but dude needs chill sometimes on Twitter.

Why is he retweeting parody accounts :francis: I like that Bernie has someone in his corner but dude needs to get off Twitter on some days
