#hasan interview bernie sanders

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Kamala Harris herself has now borrowed Walz’s lingo and is also calling her opponents “weird”, while Walz is all over our television screens, bolstering the vice-president’s candidacy and playing “attack dog” against the Trump/Vance Republican ticket. I’ll be honest: last month, I would have struggled to pick Walz out of a lineup. This month? I’m Walz-pilled. I have watched dozens of his interviews and clips. And I’m far from alone. He has an army of new fans across the liberal-left: from former Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign co-chair Nina Turner, to one-time Democratic congressman Beto O’Rourke, to gun-control activist David Hogg. “In less than 6 days, I went from not knowing who Tim Walz is,” joked writer Travis Helwig on X, “to deep down believing that if he doesn’t get the VP nod I will storm the capitol.” According to Bloomberg, the Harris campaign has narrowed down its “top tier” of potential running mates to three “white guy” candidates: Walz (hurrah!), plus the Arizona senator Mark Kelly and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. Both Kelly and Shapiro have their strengths – and both represent must-win states for the Dems. Allow me, however, to make the clear case for Walz. First, there’s his personality. The 60-year-old governor would bring energy, humor and some much-needed bite to the Democratic presidential ticket. There’s a reason why his videos have been going viral in recent days. Tim Kaine he ain’t. Pick the charismatic and eloquent Walz and you have America’s Fun Uncle ready to go. Then, there’s his résumé. A popular midwest governor from a rural town. A 24-year veteran of the army national guard. A high school teacher who coached the football team to its first state championship. It’s almost too perfect! Finally, there’s his governing record. You will struggle to find a Democratic governor who has achieved more than Walz in the space of a single legislative session. Not Shapiro. Not JB Pritzker of Illinois. Not even Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. [...] Think about it. Democrats can have Tim Walz on the ticket, who called the anti-war, pro-Palestinian ‘uncommitted’ movement “civically engaged” and praised them for “asking for a change in course” and “for more pressure to be put on” the White House, or they can have Josh Shapiro, who called for a crackdown on anti-war, pro-Palestinian college protesters and even compared them to the KKK. They can have Walz on the ticket, who has reportedly “emerged among labor unions as a popular pick” after signing “into law a series of measures viewed as pro-worker” including banning non-compete agreements and expanding protections for Amazon warehouse workers, or they can have Mark Kelly, who opposed the pro-labor Pro Act in the Senate (but has since touted support for it). They can have Walz, who guaranteed students in Minnesota not just free breakfasts but free lunches, or Shapiro, who has courted controversy in Pennsylvania with his support for school vouchers. They can have Walz, who calls his Republican opponents “weird” and extreme, or Kelly, who calls his Republican opponents “good people” who are “working really hard”. This isn’t rocket science. Walz is the obvious choice. Not only is he the ideal “white guy” running mate for Harris, against both Trump and Vance, but he is already doing the job on television and online, lambasting Vance in particular over IVF treatment and insisting he mind his “own damn business”.

Zeteo News founder Mehdi Hasan for The Guardian on why picking Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's running mate is the best option (07.29.2024).

Hasan Minhaj's latestest interview with Bernie Sanders

[eretzyisrael]

A California Democratic congressman has backtracked on a statement accusing Israel of “burning down” Palestinian villages, saying he was only referring to Israeli settlers who “have burned Palestinian orchards.”

In an interview with MSNBC on Friday, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said that U.S. President Joe Biden would “radically reset” ties with Israel, including holding the Jewish state more accountable for its human-rights record concerning the Palestinians.

Biden is “going to make clear that Israel is an ally and always has been an ally, but they have to recognize Palestinian statehood, they can’t be having new settlements, they can’t be burning down Palestinian villages,” he said in the interview.

“Human rights are going to matter. We’re going to have a human-rights-focused foreign policy,” he added.

Khanna’s statement drew immediate criticism on social media. In response to a Twitter post by a reporter from The Times of Israel, the congressman clarified his statement.

“I should have clarified that I was referring to Israeli settlers who have burned Palestinian orchards, and the military which has demolished or bulldozed villages,” he said. “As someone who supports the U.S. Israel relationship, surely we can agree both are wrong.”

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan was also criticized for not pushing back against Khanna’s false allegations on-air and for failing to correct the congressmen’s statement that Israel was establishing new settlements. Israel has only approved new housing in existing Jewish settlements.

“Given that, as Rep. Khanna asserted, ‘at some point, data has to matter,’ CAMERA has contacted MSNBC urging forthright on-air corrections making clear that, in fact, Israel is not burning and has not burned Palestinian villages, it is not building new settlements and its capital is located in Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv,” said Tamar Sternthal, director of CAMERA’s Jerusalem office.

Khanna, who is closely aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and co-chaired his campaign during his presidential run, is part of an increasing number of Democratic lawmakers who have spoken out against Israel, especially regarding policies concerning the Palestinians.

Last week, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., sent a letter to Israeli Acting Consul General Israel Nitzan expressing concern over Israel not doing more to help vaccinate Palestinians, and compared it to racial inequality in the United States. Other Democrats have made similar claims.

De Blasio's Coziness With the NYPD May Be the Nail in His Coffin. | City & State

New York City

Did Bill de Blasio’s Political Career Just End? The NYC Mayor Isn’t Going to Resign – But the Last Week Will Hurt Jis Legacy.

— By Jeff Coltin | June 3, 2020

The chant could be heard clearly in the crowd of hundreds at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge: “De Blasio resign! De Blasio resign!” The Black Lives Matter protesters in Chinatown Tuesday night were not the only ones to share the sentiment lately.

Hawk Newsome, president of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, called for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s resignation in an interview on NY1 Tuesday morning, saying that the mayor “has failed black New York time and time again.” Mehdi Hasan, a columnist at the leftist outlet The Intercept, wrote that “de Blasio needs to resign.” And it’s not just the left. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, now a close ally of President Donald Trump, said that either de Blasio should resign or that Gov. Andrew Cuomo should remove him from office. A petition demanding de Blasio’s resignation, started by Republican Staten Island Assembly candidate Marko Kepi, had nearly 1,000 signatures as of Wednesday morning. Another petition that called for de Blasio’s impeachment in 2014 because he is “anti-police” and a “socialist” has resurfaced and has more than 80,000 signatures.

It seems everyone can find something to be angry about when it comes to de Blasio. The protestors like Newsome have excoriated the mayor for the NYPD’s heavy-handed response to the largely peaceful protests and marches that mourn the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and call for an end to police brutality, especially against black people and Latinos. The mayor earned his strongest criticism for his initial defense of the NYPD officers who drove their SUV forward into a crowd of protestors blocking them even though it appeared that the cars could have backed up.

On the other side, conservatives like Giuliani attacked de Blasio for not doing more to stop the widespread destruction of property that has occurred on recent nights, sometimes following on heels of Black Lives Matter protests. That’s what got Gov. Andrew Cuomo musing at his Tuesday press conference about how he could remove the mayor – “technically the governor could remove a mayor, but you’d have to file charges, and then there’s an acting mayor,” he said . To be clear, it was all hypothetical and Cuomo has a habit of pointing out what his theoretical powers would be even when not intending to use them so dramatically. But even if it wasn’t quite a threat, it did come with a scathing critique of de Blasio’s government. “I’m not happy with last night,” Cuomo said. “Police did not do their job last night.”

There’s no reason to think de Blasio is going to resign. He has devoted too much of his life to politics to just give up now, and while he may not seem to particularly enjoy the job, his presidential run proved that he isn’t lacking in personal ambition. And de Blasio has brushed off earlier calls for his resignation. First, upon the murders of Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, NYPD officers who were killed in an ambush in 2014. Later, after he was campaigning for president in Iowa when much of Manhattan faced a summer blackout. Those earlier movements never got much further than the New York Post editorial page, and while this recent round of calls for resignation includes New Yorkers across the political spectrum, the mayor doesn’t seem bothered.

“It doesn’t appear that any of it affects him,” said John DeSio, a political consultant with Risa Heller Communications. “The farthest left and the farthest right and everybody in between has some reason to say ‘he’s a shitty mayor and he needs to go.’ And it’s like it rolls right off his back.”

While many politicians and allies of the mayor have shared harsh criticism of de Blasio, nobody seems to be asking for his resignation. Even New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who would potentially have the most to gain from de Blasio’s resignation, since he would temporarily take over as mayor, didn’t go as far as to tell him to step down.

“All I want is leadership,” Williams told City & State Tuesday night, when asked about the mayor’s job. “So if you’re going to step up, great. If you’re not, then we need new leaders.”

Of course, the situation could change quickly – particularly if somebody dies as a result of either the protests or looting in New York City. But for now, de Blasio is safe in his job until the end of his final term on December 31, 2021.

But the same can’t be said about his future after leaving office, as de Blasio’s legacy could be the New York of the last week – protestors marching against the kind of policing he promised to end, while looters shatter windows and clash with cops in the street.

To this day, you’re hard pressed to find a mention of the mayoralty of David Dinkins without an immediate reference to the 1991 Crown Heights Riots. The circumstances were different, but some of the story was the same then as it is today. Dinkins, like de Blasio, was accused of calling off the police and letting people riot. De Blasio was working in City Hall at the time, taking calls from New Yorkers who were fearful and furious about the violence.

But in the three decades since, it doesn’t seem like de Blasio learned how to respond. “Now the second half of his second term is filled with a complete and total disregard and lack of understanding of the anger and anguish of the residents of his own city,” said Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, and host of the FAQ NYC podcast.

A former aide to the mayor, who asked for anonymity to speak freely, thought that the mayor’s response has been “abysmal,” but that these days of protests after the death of George Floyd would only be one part of de Blasio’s complicated legacy. “I don’t think this one response will be the defining moment of his legacy the way it is for Dinkins,” the aide said.

But many of the people in de Blasio’s orbit have started thinking of their own legacy. Some of the mayor’s once-close allies have started to openly criticize him – first during his initial, slow response to the coronavirus pandemic in New York, and now for his response to the protests. More than 200 current and former staffers have written a letter denouncing his record on police accountability and demanding new reforms.. Under City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, the city’s legislative body had been increasingly defining itself in opposition to de Blasio. But even that has escalated in recent weeks, with Johnson vowing to criminalize chokeholds by passing a bill that could earn the first veto of de Blasio’s mayoralty.

“This is the time to remove yourself from alliances with the mayor, and, and not necessarily be penalized by New Yorkers for doing so,” Greer said. “So I think that, you know, we'll see a lot more intra-party dissension over the next few months.

The aides and Council members are all planning ahead for a life under a new mayor starting in January 2022, and so has de Blasio. It’s a poorly kept secret that the mayor is interested in seeing his wife Chirlane McCray as the next Brooklyn borough president, but the past week may have ruined any chance for that. De Blasio and McCray have always presented themselves as a political package deal, and the mayor’s sinking stock will hurt his wife.

“You can't run on our record, when Bill andI were helping New Yorkers when you have so many New Yorkers who were disappointed and disgusted with the way Bill de Blasio has handled so many crises across the city,” Greer said of McCray’s potential argument to voters.

And, of course, nobody knows exactly what de Blasio plans to do next after leaving office in 2022 – other than move back to Brooklyn. His own presidential exit plan failed, and any hopes of joining a Bernie Sanders presidential administration have disappeared too.

“What’s he going to do? There’s no job waiting for him,” DeSio told City & State. “There’s no organization that would be like ‘You know who we should put in charge of this? Bill de Blasio, because he did so much for us when he was mayor.’”

In 2017, Dinkins told The New York Times that in the newspaper’s pre-written obituary for him, “They’ll say, ‘David Dinkins, first black mayor of the City of New York,’ and the next sentence will be about Crown Heights.” But Dinkins’ life after Gracie Mansion has been, by all accounts, positive. He became a professor at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs (from which de Blasio received a master’s degree). He hosted a weekly talk show on the radio, and wrote a memoir. De Blasio could do worse than to have the same fate.

Are Young People Tuning In?

Youngsters don’t want to sit through either a 2 or 3 hour-long debate of old people arguing about why they deserve to sit their kiesters in one of the world's most powerful chairs ever. (Hmm, wonder if it’s a lazy boy... anyway) No, they’d rather sit around and vape or do the smart thing like the bird-box challenge and posting it online.

In fact, I bet if I asked a group of teenagers who Pete Buttigieg is, they’d reply with a vacuum cleaner salesman and I’m not kidding. I sat down with a group of teenagers and someone literally said he’s a vacuum cleaner salesman. I felt so bad for little Petie I continued to ask them questions on all of the current candidates. Their results? A D+. So I began to wonder, just how many teenagers aren’t tuning into the debates? And what’s the most efficient way of getting to these young voters? Through social media and other places of course! 

Well I mean, like, I don’t know about other people but I just don’t care about that kind of stuff. Like, I hear about politics a lot more in my household and stuff - it’s not that I don’t wanna learn it’s just that I feel afraid to contribute to the conversation, you know? Like I don’t wanna open my mouth and say something wrong. Trust me, I don’t like Donald Trump at all, I really don’t know why he won in the first place. That say’s a lot about America. Like a lot but, I really hope he doesn’t win again. I mean, I voted in the past.

Me: “That’s good you should keep doing that.” 

That’s why I feel bad because I didn’t vote in the last election. And it wasn’t because I didn’t like either candidate, I liked Hillary. But I just felt like my vote wouldn’t count. The electoral college is messed up! That **** is crazy and plain bananas. - Greg Soyer

Mmm, that **** was indeed crazy and bananas. (This **** is bananas- B-A-N-A-N-A-S!) But I still was hungry for answers. Why was the **** crazy? I needed to find out. So I did the opposite of what I did the first time and asked older and much wiser people.

Question 1. Why do you feel like young voters aren’t or are tuned in to the election?

I think young people starting out in life are very worried about one thing and that is what is going to happen to their future. The presidency affects not just the individual but also their entire existence. Though the argument can also be made that they also don’t tune in because they mistrust the government and at times think it’s corrupt. - Tucker White

No reliable news outlets. [There is] too much to sort through.- Anonymous

I feel like young voters don’t want to be involved or, the ones that are involved don’t pay attention to the policies. - Anonymouse

While I’m not sure if more young adults are tuned in are tuned in or not, I personally feel conflicted. On one hand, I’m invested because I want Trump & his administration out of office. On the other hand, I feel discouraged about who can be trusted to lead our nation next. It feels like the corruption never ends, regardless of who’s in office.- Elizabeth Adebayo

You know it’s funny that you bring that up because I asked my son if he was gonna vote and he said no. I asked him why not and he just responded with my vote won’t change anything. And you know, I feel bad. As a mother, you hear your kid telling you he has no control over what happens in his life? It made my heart almost break. I wanted to argue with him but... I couldn’t look him in the eye and tell him to vote because I’m not even sure if it’ll change anything with the last election.- Elizabeth DeTar.

I can speak for like late 20-somethings millennials. We’re too busy drowning in debt and trying to make it to care about a bunch of lackluster candidates who don’t seem to be inspiring - Anonymous

I soon realized a pattern in each responder's answers. They all felt betrayed. Violated by their government, concerned and scared about not only where their future would end up but, the next generations. I, for one, had hope that democracy wasn’t dead. And to prove it, I continued my search for some good ole’ fashioned teenage spirit, printed out a couple of headshots of each of the 2020 democratic candidates and headed to the one place where teenagers gather (sometimes in flocks) the mall.

First up was Bernie Sanders.

“Do you know who this guy is?”

Oh, of course, that’s Bernie Sanders. He’s one of the candidates. - Amanda Peters

Amanda got Pete, Sanders, Elizabeth, and Biden right, but when it came to Klobuchar... she got the short end of the stick.

Oh... yeah I don’t know, gee I guess I don’t know much about the candidates.

But that was just one person, right? Next, Tom Styer.

“Who is this guy, what do you think of him and do you know any of his policies?”

Oh shoot... I know the guy! I just can’t remember his name. Oh jeez, am I gonna get in trouble for this? 

"Okay, I believe you. Do you know any of his policies?”

I’m not even gonna lie, I haven’t even been to his page.

“Do you know who your gonna vote for in the 2020 elections?”

Oh, definitely Pete Buttigieg! I definitely have huge respect for him and his campaign. I mean to come out on national television as a gay man and give zero ***** about it? That takes huge balls. And he has a certain Obama swag about him. I’m not just voting for him because we're both gay, that’s the stupidest argument ever people try to make. I’m voting for him because he’s actually got great ideas. For example, his climate change policy is offering a National Catastrophic Disaster Insurance program that helps and provides stability to people like me. Our house was hit last year. - Ben Potemyer

Wow, now that’s somebody who knows their stuff! Also, he later told me to mention he highly recommends that people read up on his policies. So I invite all of you to look into him with me.

Question 2. Do you feel like most people are just tuning in more now than ever because they just want Donald Trump out of office or for other reasons? And if so, what are those reasons? 

In a way, Trump has awakened people who, otherwise, wouldn’t care to know what’s going on politically. I also think that he’s insighted a new era of people to at least watch his comedic politics to get their news. The Trevor Noah’s & Hasan Minhaj’s of the world have become more popular because people are trying to engage in polotics without boring themselves or feeling lost in the conversation. -  Elizabeth Adebayo

Yes, people are tuning into the news because of the recent impeachment trial. But I don’t feel like it’s just for seeing him removed from office. - Tucker White 

I think people are tuning in because of Trump. Because they see even though the president has checks and balances, he can still have a huge implication on other Americans and how those Americans treat other people. - Anonymous

I do believe it has to do with wanting Trump out, but I think that is because of a want for other types of social policies that Trump is against. - Anonymous

I don’t think more people are tuning in. I think we’re all transient bystanders watching the circus fire. - Anonymous

Another coincidence, among these people I interviewed, all of them said that they think young people aren't focused on this coming election. I wanted to try and find more people. All of this talk about generations got me thinking. What if there were people, who couldn’t even vote yet, had opinions? I met a powerful little 10 year old. And I’ll never forget what she said. 

I don’t think it’s because of either one of those things. I think people now see what they have done and who they’ve put in the oval office and they want to correct what they’ve done. Because deep down, we should all love each other. Love should always win.” - Ashley

Love should always win. Wise kid huh? 

Question 3. Who do you have your eye on in the race? What draws you to them?

I’m supportive of Bernie Sanders, as I was in the last race. His views seem to be less about solely taking care of the wealthy, but actually looking out for working-class people. I want a leader who cares about helping Americans create better lives for themselves through healthcare & employment v.s focusing solely on our external affairs. I’m also interested in Elizabeth Warren, but I need to do more research on her political decisions. -  Elizabeth Adebayo

I have my eye on three candidates, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and, Bernie Sanders. Currently, I’m leaning towards Elizabeth Warren. Joe seems a little consertive and Bernie seems too progressive. Elizabeth has just the right balance. - Tucker White

Of all the candidates I would consider Gabbard, Yang, Biden or Trump. I lean center-right and see the U.S as doing pretty well right now. I do find Gabbard and Yang appealing because they seem very genuine and tell it like it is, similar to Bernie. - Anonymous

I don’t really have anyone I’m drawn to right now if anything, Bernie Sanders but I don’t know everything about him either. - Anonymous

No one. - Anonymous

Question 4. Why are all the big named candidates like Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and Amy Klobuchar popular in the news? 

Honestly, I don’t know. - Elizabeth Adebayo

I feel like these names are in the news the most because they are the mainstream and more established friendly.  - Anonymous

I suppose they pop up bc they’re campaigning and doing they’re part to try to spread their message. - Anonymous

I think the simplest way of saying it is because they have the money and resources to be able to.  - Tucker White

Mayor Pete appeals the common man, Bernie has a wonderful grassroots base, Joe Biden was/is associated with Obama and, Elizabeth Warren is supposed to appeal to women(?) I don’t know about that last one. I expect they make a splash because either A: they have clout and social media following or B: they have the money to appear like they have clout. You forgot Yang! (This person is referring to Yang being a big named candidate.) - Anonymous

Question 5. Who do you feel has the most successful chance of being president? 

At this point, I don’t know. For better or for worse, Trumps election has changed the expectation of what we view as a suitible leader to run our nation, so I can’t even say. I do think that we, as Americans, are over the smoke & mirrors of politics. - Elizabeth Adebayo 

I think Trump either gets re-elected or Bernie or Biden gets elected. Warren isin’t as strong as Sanders in my eyes. Anonymous

I feel like maybe Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden. Maybe even Bernie. - Anonymous

I’d say Elizabeth Warren would be the best canidate for the job. - Tucker White - 

I don’t know, maybe Warren. I honestly think our country sucks enough that we’re about to elect Donald Trump again. - Anonymous

Question 6. What are the biggest flaws amping these candidates and what could help improve their chances?

I just want a politician that’s real that cares about actual people and isn’t the “Better of two evils” bull. - Anonymous

The thing that’s hurting all these campaigns is easily that they’re just playing to their bases instead of trying to sway moderates and voters on the other side. - Anonymous

To face not just the Democrats but also the Republicans. - Tucker White

Bernie and Biden feel like familiar territory to me, so with the exception of Warren, the other candidates haven’t built enough of a rapport with the country to solidify their chances. -  Elizabeth Adebayo

Question 7. How do you feel about Pete Buttigieg? Do you think him being gay will hurt him or do you think we, as a country have gotten over that hurdle?

I’d say he’s a pretty good alternative to Biden. From what I hear he doesn’t have very good support in the south, where Biden does, but he can be seen as a strong candidate to religious voters. - Anonymous

As a country, I don’t think we’ve gotten over that hurdle, despite what the media portrays, but if he could speak to the needs of working/middle-class Americans by talking about the things that matter most to them, he might have a chance. - Elizabeth Adebayo

[Buttigieg] Sounds like a solid candidate. I like what I’ve heard about him so far. As for his chances, America is still super “Christian”. And that’s a large chunk of the voting base that isn't ready for a gay president. So no, we suck at getting over that hurdle.- Anonymous

Question 8. And finally, do you think young voters are just affiliating themselves with their parents/ close friends same party? 

I want to say that more conservative voters may be doing that because they focus a lot on the idea of the collective through their moral or religious values. Liberals, on the other hand seem to think more individually, but are more heavily influenced by their friends. - Elizabeth  Adebayo

Ergh, maybe younger ones. In my experience with mid to late twenty-somethings, we’re diametrically opposed to family members voting wise-- to the point where it’s awkward at family reuinions. - Anonymous

I would like to thank everyone who participated in this very long post about what everyday Americans thought about the candidates so far. For the most part,  I say young people/first-time voters are clearly in desperate need of just a little education on each of the candidates and the power - the drive to get engaged. But most of all, to not be afraid. To all my readers, thank you.

Dealing With The Student Debt Crisis

Dealing With The Student Debt Crisis

Ever since I was a child, my loving parents taught me that to succeed in life I need to get a good education. As I finish my first semester of college it has become quite apparent that college is quite expensive. With increasing expenses such as tuition, room & board, transportation, and food, it makes sense as to why so many students are going into debt and are having a hard time paying it off. Some students may never be able to pay off all their loans as the amount of student debt in the U.S. has reached an all-time high of $1.5 trillion and it is still rising. Our nation, especially lower and middle-class families, is currently facing severe consequences from this crisis as student debt continues to become a predatory industry that is in desperate need of regulation. The nation is currently divided on how to solve this crisis, as countless politicians are trying to offer solutions to Congress that aren't being passed due to a lack of agreement. To find the right solutions for this problem, we first need to better understand all the crisis by answering basic questions. What is the student debt crisis? How did it start? Why is the national student debt an actual crisis? What are we doing to solve this issue and is it working? What can else can we do about this crisis? It is by answering these questions that we can make decisions that support everyone’s best interests.

The whole purpose of a student loan is so that a student who may not have enough money at the moment to pay for their education, can have the opportunity to eventually pay it off in the future after they start earning a higher income thanks to the career they received from earning their degree. While it can be assumed that the student debt crisis is defined as the continually rising student debt, but CEO and economist David Klein explained in an article for the business-oriented news website "Quartz"  that college tuition is the actual root of this crisis. As tuition continues to increase, many students are left with no other choice but to take out larger loans without the guarantee that they will get jobs that could earn them enough to manage their debt. David Klein continues to explain this point in his article stating “Some students are able to land jobs after graduation with salaries that justify the monthly student loan payments, but others are not able to do so, rendering their student loans a particularly heavy burden. (Klein, David. “The US Doesn't Have a Student Debt Problem. It Has a College Tuition Crisis.”) This has led to an unforeseen consequence of doubt in the education system. In a recent article by the Wall Street Journal, four out of 10 recent college graduates now have jobs that don’t even require a college degree (Mitchell, Josh. “The Long Road to the Student Debt Crisis.”) and because of this statistic, there are parts of our nation starting to re-evaluate the true cost of higher education and while others are beginning to question whether higher education is truly worth the risk of taking on debt that could follow them their entire lives.

To further our understanding of the student debt crisis we need to know its origin. Interestingly enough, the start of the debt crisis is part of a well-known piece of American history. The date was October 4th, 1957 when our world was completely changed. The Soviet Union had just launched the first artificial Earth satellite the world has ever seen named Sputnik. While this event was a momentous occasion for mankind and spoke well of our ingenuity as a species, the United States of America was in a panic. Compared to our Cold War rivals, our nation was lacking academically in science, technology, foreign languages, and every other subject at the time. It seemed impossible for the U.S. to catch up with the Soviets. In retaliation to Sputnik, Congress came together and passed the National Defense Education Act of 1958, also known as the "NDEA," which was the first time our nation started to offer federal loans and scholarships to encourage student enrollment. (National Defense Education Act of 1958, 85th Cong.) As we all know, the U.S. was the first to nation to ever land a man on the moon and college enrollment increase exponentially while the U.S continued to offer financial aid. 

Unfortunately, after nearly 70 years, we can see that student debts have only increased since passing the NDEA, and since the U.S continued to give loans to college students the Department of Education has become one of the largest banks in America in regards to loans. Since the Department of Education was meant to be a bank they instead have to outsource management to Loan Servicers. The comedian and internet talk show host, Hasan Minhaj, best describes these companies on an episode of his Netflix series “Patriot Act” as a part of a “multi-billion dollar predatory industry that ruins lives” and one of those companies is called Navient. They are one of the largest and worst debt collection companies in the nation and they have recently been accused of abusing military members, double-charging borrowers, and systematically misdirecting borrowers into types of forbearance. (“Student Loans.” Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj. Netflix, Manhattan. 24 February 2019. Web Television) It was due to this dishonest practice from Navient that thousands of borrowers were disqualified from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which offers public servants, which are people employed by Government organizations at any level (federal, state, local, or tribal), the opportunity to have their outstanding federal student loans forgiven if they meet the requirements. (Friedman, Zack. “How This New Navient Lawsuit Affects Your Student Loans: Q&A.”)  Companies like Navient are not the only problem with the student debt crisis as there are nearly fifteen states that maintains laws allowing for licenses (professional, medical, drivers, and hunting)  to be revoked for defaulting on federal or state education loan as well as other state-specific criteria. (Hentze-Jane, Iris, labor-and-employment/license-suspension-for-student-loan-defaulters.aspx) Many parents and students are suffering from the national student debt crisis as graduates move back home with their parents since it is too expensive to move out on their own, they cannot afford to get married or even start a family. (ONeil, Overcoming the Student Loan Crisis) 

In the past few years, more and more politicians have begun to make student debt a part of their policies. Vermont senator and Democratic presidential nominee, Bernie Sanders, is a big advocator for the student debt reforms. It is common to see Sanders on the debate stage or in interviews exclaiming that the student debt crisis is out of control and in April, 2017 Sen. Sanders introduced a bill called the College for All Act of 2017, where Sanders proposes several solutions to the crisis that includes; eliminating tuition for household that makes less than $125,000, lowering the interest rates for those who still need financial aid and keep them on a fixed loan rate, preventing the federal government from profiting off  of student loans, and even a dollar for dollar match for states “that provide extra funding to reduce the cost of college beyond eliminating tuition and fees. (College for All Act of 2017, S.806, 115th Cong.) Sanders is not the only politician asking for reforms. Fellow Democratic candidate Cory Booker's signature proposal is aimed at closing the racial wealth gap that could provide families with a new resource to pay for college. Mayor Pete Buttigieg has a slightly more conservative plan as he believes in making public college debt-free for low-income students through creating a state-federal partnership and combining it with an expansion in the Pell grant, which are already used to support low-income students to attend college. (Berman, Jillian. “Where the 2020 Candidates Stand on Student Debt and College Affordability.” MarketWatch,)Under his plan, middle-income families would pay zero tuition at public colleges. So while this crisis may seem hopeless at the moment, we need to remember that there are elected officials that are trying to protect our best interest and we need to be educated in these issues so we can select the right candidate.

Politicians and students are not the only ones trying to push for reforms on the student debt crisis. Author Anthony ONeal dedicates his career to help educating young adults to make smart decisions with their money, as it affects their relationships and education. ONeal relates with students burdened by student loans as he, himself, was homeless and deep in debt at the age of nineteen, but after making changes to his life he wrote a bestselling book called “ Graduate Survival Guide: 5 Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make in College” to help guide college students so they can avoid being crushed by student debt. Actor Michael Torpey currently hosts a show on TruTV called “Paid Off with Michael Torpey” where he gives three college graduates, all of whom have outstanding student debts, the opportunity to have their debts completely, if not partially, paid off if they answer questions correctly. In an interview with late-night talk show host Seth Meyers, Torpey explains that his show raises awareness for the student debt crisis and blames the government, the loan servicers, and the universities for causing this crisis. Torpey continued to tell Seth Meyers that when he talks about the show that it “is a very dumb way to pay for education.” (Episode June 19, Late Night with Seth Meyers) The funniest part about this is that the host himself thinks this event is a weird way to pay off student debt but it is still having a social impact as people are starting to learn about the crisis. These two men who have very different careers are still advocating for change and if they can do it, so can anyone else.

As the U.S. is working to resolve the student debt crisis, other first-world countries have their own solutions to the issue. When talking about student debt, policymakers think of Australia as an example of a nation that properly handles its debt. This is because Australia created its student loan program in 1989 to help charge tuition for public universities. Their program is meant to have borrowers pay a low-interest rate equal to inflation and no payments need to be made until the borrower starts earning a set amount and as they continue to earn more the rate rises so that the debt can be paid off sooner. (Ey, Carol Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) and other student loans: a quick guide, 2017)  Australia was able to implement this program by placing regulations such as limiting the number of students permitted and restricting loans to only four-year degrees and other advanced programs. Many economists believe that Australia could be on the brink of economic crisis of their due to removing restrictions and allowing federal loans to students undergoing training and other alternative education programs for careers that don’t necessarily earn enough pay off said loans (Delisle, Jason, and Alex Usher. “Australia's Student Loan Problem Is a Teachable Moment for the U.S.”) This led to loan servicers like Navient to enter the Australian market and continue to harm innocent people. Australia's plan wouldn't be very difficult to implement in America because it involves capping university seats so only some can attend college and the U.S. should be encouraging higher education and make it accessible for all.

 As much as everybody wants a simple cure-all solution there is more than just one single solution to the student debt crisis. The effective way to respond to the debt crisis is by having both short and long-term goals. The short-term goals are the little things that can be done at the moment that will slowly build to the long-term goals which are defined as the plans of higher difficulty and they will take a larger period of time to achieve. An example of a long-term plan would be Senator Bernie Sanders College for All Act of 2017 which has a lot of progressive policies that, while beneficial to everyone, Congress won't be able to be implemented everything overnight. After reviewing the causes and effects of student debt it seems like the small and simple things the U.S. can implement now are better financial education starting at a younger age. The reason why companies like Navient are able to mislead borrowers and cause them financial torment is due to the fact that borrowers don't necessarily know any better. We could do this by having high schools and universities introduce more aggressive courses that will not only educate students but also assist in applying for financial aid like scholarships and grants. By implementing these smaller policies it will help the nation progress into more progressive policies. The long-term goals for the nation should be to lower the tuition for public universities, at the very least, and place more regulation on loan servicers. Not everyone has to go to Yale or Harvard to get a good education and college is typically cheaper in-state so if the U.S. can lower the price of tuition of public universities, more people start attending school without the fear sinking into a monstrous debt and with more students, more money can go into these public institutions. By continuing to restrict loan servicers we can stop it from being a predatory industry. In order to make any of these changes in this nation, the public will have to come together and focus on want is most important and that is education. If the U.S does not decide to act then this crisis will only continue to get worse.

Contradictions between the words of Democrats and the reality of the world are not especially uncommon. Democrats claim that their reforms will lift people out of poverty, yet statistics and past implementation of left-wing policies prove otherwise. With the 2020 presidential election underway, the new narrative from the Democrats is that the majority of Americans stand behind their far-left policies. 

However, in a new turn of events, it appears as though Democrats can’t even keep their story straight amongst themselves. On Thursday, an interview of House Rep. Ilhan Omar aired; in this interview, the congresswoman spoke about the Democrat Party and the manner in which she believes the Democrat Party is perceived.

“Representative Ilhan Omar arrives is gre” (CC BY-SA 2.0) by Lorie Shaull

Breitbart News reports Omar’s claim that “most people can’t understand” what Democrats are fighting for; this particular victimhood narrative comes in spite of left-wing 2020 candidates who assert that most Americans favor what Democrats are campaigning on.

Omar on What Democrats Are Fighting for

The congresswoman’s interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan covers some very interesting ground. Omar’s take on the Democrat Party and the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren showed how disconnected she is from the rest of Americans and that’s really unfortunate.

Despite recently endorsing Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, Omar still had glowing remarks for the “Warren-wing” of the Democrat Party.

— The Intercept (@theintercept) October 25, 2019

Per the congresswoman’s own statements, she maintains that the majority of Democrats would fall under the “Warren-wing.” Omar then went on to Democrats care about “details” and view themselves as the “smartest in the room.”

After claiming that most Americans are simply unable to comprehend the gravity of the Democrats’ fight, Omar then praised Warren for having a “plan for everything.”

The Real Reason Why “Most People” Don’t Understand Democrats

The alleged lack of understanding associated with the Democrats is not because they’re advanced or pious. In truth, most people DO “understand” what the Democrats are fighting for; they’re just not on board with it.

Open borders, socialism, higher taxes, and more government each encompass the agenda of the Democrat Party. This is what Democrats are all about and no matter how many times they try to convince themselves that the majority of Americans support them, the facts continue to state otherwise.

“Elizabeth Warren” (CC BY-SA 2.0) by Gage Skidmore

If Omar truly believes the Democrat Party is having all these problems, she should ask herself why. The congresswoman would also do well to consider that if most leftists are part of the “Warren wing” of the Democrat Party, this might explain the lack of understanding which she’s complaining about.

What do you think about Ilhan Omar’s take on the Democrat Party and then manner in which they’re viewed by most people? Don’t hold back in the comments section below!
