The higher ed policy world is talking about the Warren student debt plan. Urban and Brookings did analyses last week. The major problem is that it is a regressive plan that would provide greater benefits to those that need it the least. The average student loan debt for an under grad degree is ~ $30k. Those with the most amount of debt on average TEND to be those that went to graduate school, and thus have a higher earning potential. Those that took on the least amount of debt TEND to be those that dropped out. And setting the income cap at $100k (and going all the way up to $250k for partial relief) is going to benefit people living very comfortable lifestyles in LCOL areas. A better targeted plan would be one that focused on: those in default, non-completers, those that went to for-profit schools, and borrowers of color. This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing! |

Sen. Michael Bennett will run for president. I assume that means he's cancer free, which I'm so glad to hear |

I am strong Harris and Warren for 1 and 2.
A little more conflicted on 3. I’d say Castro for now.

Harris
Pete
and...maybe Warren, although it would be tough me for to choose between her and Gillibrand right now I think for that 3rd spot. I like Castro too but I don't know that I would give him a vote if I only had 3.

Harris is my number one.
Warren would get one of the other two. I don't know about the third.

In no particular order
Pete
Harris
Warren
I still like Klobuchar. I helped vote her into the Senate in 2006, 2012, and 2018, and she does great work there. That being said, I don't think she can pull off the Democratic nomination for President.

I don't want to list Harris, only because everyone else has.
I still like Pete and Amy and I want to hear more from them. Right now my three might be
Warren
Castro
Inslee — because climate change is too important.

Harris, Gillibrand, Pete. Not necessarily in that order, I'm not sure who's my front runner yet, but for sure those three. Warren would be my number four.

notblanche Inslee is on my VP/Cabinet list because of his climate change focus. He's a shoo in for a cabinet position IMO. I don't think he'll be POTUS but I want him involved. |

In no particular order Harris, Gillibrand, Mayor Pete. I also really hope Inslee gets a cabinet position, climate change is so important.

This is the kind of stuff that's going to be problematic for Biden with the left wing of the party. Everyone thinks it's ok that Schumer and Sasse play pickup ball together but publicly praising war criminals is not a good look |
