i like the stats, but disagree with the takeaway.

it only makes sense if hillary clinton was "just another centrist" rather than a "progressive" that bloc so desperately wanted to vote for.

i dislike biden like pretty much everyone here, but if that chunk of blue voted for obama in 2012, i have to assume a lot of them will vote for biden in 2020.  maybe i'm being naive.

How are the banks screwing borrowers of student loans when that is a service that was taken over by the government nearly ten years ago. Her “reforms” are pointless when she refuses to address the reason for the rise in tuition costs. Government involvement. They incentivized colleges to raise prices.

Always treating the symptoms and never the cause. Shockingly Mark Cuban has some great ideas on student loans. 

 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-heres-how-to-fix-the-student-debt-crisis-2015-3

 I would like to hear how she intends to keep creating jobs, driving wages up and expand our economy. Actually, I’d like to hear any Democratic candidates ideas on these topics. They don’t seem to have been considered since Obama

There's private student loans. The only thing the government "took over" was the loan program the government was guaranteeing. That already was a government program so about the lamest takeover ever.

I don't think Biden has anything to do with it. Trump is President. If you're a progressive and that doesn't clinch your vote for the D nominee, you were probably ever going to vote.

What if student loans were underwritten like real estate loans were underwritten?

Assuming credit scores are equal, a 5000 square foot retail space purchase at 6th & Congress will be underwritten more beneficially to the borrower because the asset has a better chance to generate income and ability to repay is more secure...as compared to a 5000 square foot retail space in Cleveland.  

Apply this rationale to the entire higher ed landscape.  A theater degree from Washburn University should not get the same term sheet as an MBA from Kellogg

but the government doesn’t see it this way.

That's because the government and the bank have different priorities.

Until now I never knew her full story. Pretty damn incredible. Everyone should watch/listen to at least the first 8 minutes. 

[bad_teammate 13132]

she's got a compelling personal story and she's good at telling it

a great candidate who would be an amazing first female president

[Hank Kingsley 20676]

Warren's got the mojo working right now.  She's been impressive. 

 

[tucker 238]

 

[406W30th 1111]

I thought Hays did a good job pushing back on what will certainly be the most common criticisms/questions of her plans – 1.) how will she pay for all of this and 2.) what's the point as long as that piece of shit Mitch McConnell is Sen. Majority Leader?

Warren did a terrific job answering those questions and I have a hard time buying the argument that she can't win over the Obama > Trump voters. She is easily the most passionate candidate with the most well thought-out policy. I am going to work my ass off to help her win the nomination.

Probably not, since she did not vote for the Hyde Amendment in 2017.  It would have been hard for her to vote on since it was never even brought up for a  vote in the Senate. I just read a list of every piece of legislation the Senate voted on in 2017 and there's nary a mention of the Hyde Amendment or anything close to it. 

First EMAW and now you. Why do you Republican fanboys insist on believing things that are not true?

You’re wrong. Unlike Bernie, Lizzie voted in support of a massive spending bill in 2017 that prohibited any funds appropriated in that bill from being used for health care services that included abortion.  In fact, she voted for that bill twice.

I don't think this is important, really. You can be against one provision in a giant piece of legislation and still vote for it.

But, you know, Bernie fucking rules.

First off, what you're referring to took place in 2018, not 2017. 

Second, you just admitted that Liz voted for a massive spending bill.  Your original claim was that she voted for the Hyde Amendment. 

Again: the Hyde Amendment has not been brought up for a vote in the Senate in the time that Elizabeth Warren has been senator.  So to say that she voted for the Hyde Amendment is wrong.

You don't find it disingenuous to say you don't support the Hyde Amendment while also voting for appropriations bills that that prohibit spending of appropriated funds on abortions? lol.  That's fucking ridiculous.

Okay, it's perfectly reasonable for someone to not support prohibiting the spending of federal funds on abortion while also voting for appropriations bills which prohibit the appropriated funds from being spent on abortion.  Those two things are perfectly consistent.  😂

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren unveiled a plan to create jobs and "protect the interest of American workers" in a Medium post today, and it includes actively managing the US dollar lower.

Warren named the strong dollar one of the most important factors in the US trade deficit, and blamed it for weak exports.

Did she vote for a huge appropriations bill that blocks federal spending on abortions? What is the fucking point of “not” supporting the Hyde Amendment if you are going to vote to block abortion money in the actual appropriation bills themselves?  There’s no material difference between supporting it or not if you block that spending in practice. 

[bad_teammate 13132]

she voted for it one year later than you originally said, therefore the underlying point is invalid and the topic is now muted

And by the fact that, contrary to his claim that Elizabeth Warren voted "for the Hyde Amendment in 2017,"  the Hyde Amendment was not put to a vote by the Senate in 2017 or 2018. 

It sure seems that if she had voted for the Hyde Amendment in 2017, there would be some documentation of that.

Of course ------ given her history and her political ideology --------  we know how she would have voted HAD the Hyde Amendment been offered up for a vote by itself, but that never happened.

I'm just glad my preferred candidate actually respects women's autonomy (instead of only paying worthless lip service) and did not, like Liz Warren, vote for an appropriations bill blocking appropriated funds from being used for abortions.  

[bad_teammate 13132]

I'm not going to bother looking it up, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sanders has, in the past, voted for an appropriations bill that included the hyde language.

Did Elizabeth Warren vote for the Hyde Amendment in 2017? It is a yes or no question. The fact that I asked you directly if that was true and you did not answer with a yes or no means that you know the truth, because any answer other than yes or no means you are obfuscating, fudging, diverting etc....

Whatever you're claiming now is not relevant to the truth of your initial statement, the one I took issue with.

I don't support Liz Warren. I don't support any candidate.  

You confuse my attempt to get at the truth of her voting record with my support of her candidacy, though I would hope that a UT education would render you able to discern the difference between the two.

This is a thread about Elizabeth Warren.  I simply pointed out that your statement about her voting record with regards to the Hyde Amendment is untrue.  You're the one who doubled down on that assertion, despite being unable to offer any proof that she ever voted on it.  There is not a single post on this board that indicates that I support her, so enough with the dumbass, baseless assertions. 

You said that you would answer my yes or no question, so I'll ask it again:  Did Elizabeth Warren vote in favor of the Hyde Amendment in 2017?

Your claim was actually that neither the Hyde Amendment nor "anything close to it" had been voted on, when a major appropriations bill - the type of bill that actually funds the government - included the Hyde Amendment language within it.  That claim is clearly false.

I knew that you would not be able to answer even after you said you would. 

Also,  I love how you just took my "anything close to it"  out of context. I'm beginning to see why you're not able to distinguish between my correcting your statement regarding Elizabeth Hyde's 2017 voting record with me 

Verbatim, I wrote: " I just read a list of every piece of legislation the Senate voted on in 2017 and there's nary a mention of the Hyde Amendment or anything close to it."

That is a true statement. You have said it's not but are unable to show me a link to the 2017 Hyde Amendment vote that you claimed she made.

It would be far easier to admit that you were wrong.

You never asked for a link.  Here is the pertinent sections of the appropriations bill Liz voted in support of:

Quote

(Sec. 506) Prohibits funds provided by this division or in any trust fund which received funds in this division from being used for: (1) abortions, or (2) health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion.

(Sec. 507) Provides an exception to the prohibition on funding for abortion if: (1) the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest; or (2) a woman suffers from a physical disorder, injury, or illness that would place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed.

Prohibits funds provided by this division from being made available to a federal agency or program, or to a state or local government, if the agency, program, or government subjects any institutional or individual health care entity to discrimination on the basis that the entity does not provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6157?q={"search"%3A["hr+6157"]}&r=2&s=4

You do realize that the Hyde Amendment is a term used to describe the rider attached to appropriations bills to prevent federal funds authorized under those bills to go towards abortions?  It's not a stand alone law as Congress does not have the power to pass such a law.

If I understand his argument, it's that if you vote for an omnibus spending bill it can only be because you support everything in it, a point so patently stupid I can't believe anybody here would try to make it.

I never said she supported the prohibitions included in the Hyde Amendment.  I merely asked why she was not questioned about her vote in that appropriations bill considering it included the Hyde Amendment.   It's a simple question and I don't know why it inspired such consternation itt.
