After being confronted by a man questioning her student loan forgiveness plan, Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren rejected her argument. “We are not building an America by putting our children in debt,” she said on CBS This Morning on Friday.

In the exchange, who was filmed and posted on Twitter on Tuesday, the father tells Warren that he saved all his money for his daughter’s college education. “Am I going to get my money back?” He asked her, to which she replied “of course not”.

“So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save money and those of us who did the right thing get screwed?” he said.

When asked how she responds to him and others with the same opinion, Warren replied, “Look, we are building a future by making it better. By that same logic, what would we have done? ? Not started Social Security because we didn’t start it’s last week for you or last month for you. “

When asked if she “said bad luck” to these people, she replied “No”, but recounted how she was given a chance to go to college even though her family “hadn’t. no money”.

“There was a $ 50 per semester option for me. I was able to go to college and become a public school teacher because America had invested in a $ 50 per semester option for me,” he said. she declared. “Today that is not available.”

Warren said to save the next generation from trillions of dollars in debt, the country needs to invest again.

“We are not building an America by putting our children in debt. We are building an America by saying that we are going to open up these opportunities so that children can get an education without being crushed by student loan debt,” she said. .

The senator was also asked if she and her fellow Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders had settled their differences and if she was surprised the public was able to hear their conversation after the last debate when she confronted him saying “I think you called me a liar on national television,” but declined to comment.

“I’ve said everything I’m going to say about it,” she said.

Asked specifically about Hillary Clinton’s Claim About Sanders in a new documentary that “nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him,” Warren said, “I’m not going.”

Warren, along with Sanders and two other Democratic senators running for president, had to leave the campaign trial to attend the Senate impeachment trial against Donald Trump. The Iowa caucus is February 3.
