"My daughter's getting out of school, I saved all my money, she doesn't have any student loans," the man asked Warren in the video. "Am I going to get my money back?"
"Of course not," responded the senator.
"So, you're going to pay for people who didn't save any money and those of us that did the right thing get screwed," said the man.
Warren disputed the man's assertion that he'd be "screwed" under her plan. The man insisted that he would be because his friend had spent money in different ways.
"Of course we did. My buddy had fun, bought a car, went on vacation," the man protested. "I saved my money. He made more than I did, but I worked a double shift... since my daughter was 10."
May we consider a third example? The student who didn’t have an angry father and didn’t foolishly take out a student loan but instead went from walking to school in the snow to punching a clock at a menial factory job. After paying 20% to 30% of their income to taxes for 50 years the government will have a $50K gift for the student loan student and maybe Elizabeth Warren will relent and also have $50K for the angry father but nothing for Joe Lunchbucket who went the hard way?
"Of course not," responded the senator.
