and the era of RW voodoo economics and 'free trade' agreements. Nobody left undergraduate college with debt like today, around 35K on average. It's theft, robbing young people of their future, plunder for profit and establishing indentured servitude. Abolish college tuition like Germany and most of Europe! Post WWII GI's received free college education and they bettered society through education and training, work and occupations, homeownership and strengthening communities.

Go Bernie!

And when many of them become wealthy ... they pay their share of the taxes that got them there. A simple policy. This is fair and helps stabilize the system. You should end up with a system that is fairly inclusive, and yet cost effective.
