Here are the reactions on theday.com to the Jan. 14 story detailing Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign pledge to forgive most federal student loan debt, via executive order, if elected.

“How could this be allowed? When the government is given the power to rearrange all contracts, assets and debts, we are in a totalitarian society.”

— Scott Matson

“Will those of us who paid off our student loans get reimbursed?”

— Cameron MacKenzie

“Candidate Warren, I went to work the day I graduated high school and then went 2 years to a community college, at the age of 42, and I have paid all I borrowed back since. I hope that does not disqualify me.”

— Carl Weber

“I couldn’t be more against this … you took out a loan, pay it back!”

— Rick Beaney

“Please consider a reimbursement program for all those people who worked, sacrificed and paid back their $$$!!! Hard work and ethics are not what they once were.”

— Kevin Fiftal

“Senator Warren, please have the government pay off my truck loan and the mortgage on my house and that of my sister. Then I will vote for you.”

— William Morse

“Warren said she’d move unilaterally to cancel debt first, then work with Capitol Hill to ensure programs to pay for it become law. So I called the bank and asked them to forgive my mortgage. They asked who would pay back the loan. I said we can figure that out later. Eagerly waiting for a cancelled debt letter.”

— John Benoit

“If this is the best the Democrats can do, they are in big trouble.”

— Robert Foltz

“Let’s review. Medicare for all and now this. What comes after trillion? I looked it up. Quadrillion.”

— Lynn Young

“She won’t get the Dem nomination. Need someone more in the middle of the road with attainable solutions.”

— Celeste Brown
