CNN "State of the Union" interviews during 2018: on Education


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Tuition-free college spurs economic activity by millennials

Q: You propose tuition-free public college, canceling all student loan debt. How do we pay for it?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: This is a broader agenda. If you look at my generation-millennials--the amount of economic activity that we do not engage, the fact that we delay purchasing homes, that we don't participate in the economy and purchasing cars, et cetera, as fully as possible, is a cost. It is an externality, of unprecedented amount of student loan debt.
