Holding all the cards doesn't mean much if you're at the craps table just FYI
"Warren wants all college loans to be at a low enough interest rate "

Which colleges would use as an excuse to pay unionized professors more, to jack up tuition more.

If you want to lower the cost of tuition, a good start would be to not have professors getting paid 400k a year to teach one class. I see Warren isn't advocating for that, gee I wonder why...

"Holding all the cards doesn't mean much if you're at the craps table "

That's true in theory. But when I look at what the GOP is holding right now - the Oval Office, both chambers of congress, and a large majority of state governorships and legislatures...when I see all that, I'm pretty confident that I'm not the one who wandered moronically into the wrong table. Have fun making that wrong.
