EXCERPT:
WARREN: "You know, I think a lot about fairness. And I think about how education debt is different from other debt. I look at it this way. I wanted to be a public school teacher from the time I was in second grade. My daddy ended up as a janitor, and there was no money for me to go to college. But I found a public university that cost $50 a semester. And for a price I could pay for on a part-time waitressing job, I finished a four-year diploma, I became a special education teacher, and it opened a million doors for me. That opportunity is not out there today for any of our kids. Our public education system is no longer creating opportunities for kids like me and other kids whose families can't afford to write a check. Instead, we're saying to these young people, 'Yu have got to get an education, but we are going to wrap the chains of debt around you.' And, for many, you're going to be paying it for decades into the future, including getting Social Security checks garnished. That's not the America we want."
