New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is fighting for students, and basic understanding of how loans work will be her weapon.
Just kidding!
Too many grads are #InTheRed, saddled with crushing student debt. We must allow the refinancing of student loans at lower interest rates.

If business owners & homeowners can refinance their debt, we should allow graduates who are #InTheRed to refinance at lower rates as well.

Nice try, dear, but no.
@SenGillibrand Sure, what is the collateral they should put up, or are you just blindly posting talking pts? #tcot @moelane @charlescwcooke

That’s what she appears to be doing, yes.
@SenGillibrand this is not how lending works.

Keep waiting.
Is there a Democrat who understands the concept of tangible assets?
house: tangible asset
BA Gender Studies: not https://t.co/QLgNpeT8GW— DaveinTexas (@DaveinTexas) January 21, 2016
@SenGillibrand Homeowners refinance using an asset as collateral: a home. The asset underlying a student loan is a C+ in Cultural Studies.

@sengillibrand What’s the resale value for a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology? Answer me that and we’ll talk about refinancing the debt.

@SenGillibrand So what will they use for collateral, Senator? Really, the economic/financial ignorance of our governing class is a scandal.

Pretty pathetic.
@SenGillibrand Are you really this stupid or just pretending?
