Sen. Warren: ‘I Have Plans to Reduce Student Loan Debt’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WARREN: “Latoya the answer is yes. I have plans to reduce student loan debt. Let me just start there. But you know, there's parts of this that are so personal. I had one dream since I was in second grade. Just one thing I wanted to be. All three of my brothers went off and joined the military and God bless them, do you know what I wanted to be? I wanted to be a public schoolteacher from the same I was in second grade. Can we hear it for America's public schoolteachers? Yeah. But you have to have a four year diploma to do that. But at the time I graduated high school my family didn't have the money for college application, much less to send me off to school and I have a long and twisty story, got a scholarship. Then I fell in love, got married, the first time. And I thought I had lost it all. I thought I had given up on that dream. And I found a commuter college, public college, that cost $50 a semester. And that was my ticket. And I became a special needs teacher. I got to live my dream. So let me just say, I believe in what we can do through education. But if America wants to be a stronger country, America wants to be a country of real opportunity for everyone, then that means that every kid has a right to get an education without getting crushed by student loan debt, period.”
