Did Cory Booker Say.... (Booker POTUS Campaign Kickoff Rally)

He would stand for Student Loan Debt FORGIVENESS. Okay! And appoint Justices that will defend Roe V Wade? Nice. Maybe he might be VP potential after all.

effectively a tax on education and unbelievably regressive and stupid. Of course corrupt Republicans at work. But, yes, I could get behind all or partial debt forgiveness easily, for state colleges and Us especially. It should never have happened.

of Democrats with the intense corruption and extremist ideologies that are controlling the Republican Party these days.

Obama NEVER supported exploiting people wanting education and driving them into debt for decades. The Democratic Party has also always been pro-education and progressively so, i.e., for government policies and programs to further a well educated populace.

President Obama was a Democrat. Congress was controlled by Republicans, and congress legislates.
