Schumer opponent calls for end of federal student loans

SOURCE: Politico

Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Republican opponent, Wendy Long, released plans on Wednesday to address New York’s ballooning college debt by phasing out federal student loans.

Long seized on a state comptroller report released Tuesday that found the total student loan debt in New York increased to $82 billion in 2015 from $39 billion in 2005.

“The underlying problem, of course, is the huge federal subsidies being shoveled at higher education,” she said in a release. “They are like shoveling coals onto a fire, fueling higher tuition rates into what has now become a raging bonfire.”

Long outlined a three-prong plan to reduce that debt, starting with passing a law requiring colleges to refund students and recent grads any tuition that exceeded 1996 rates, adjusted for inflation. She said universities can trim their budget and tap their endowments to offset the loss of tuition money.

“Political correctness is killing our country. I’ve been saying this for months all around New York State. When will Chuck Schumer wake up — when they start beheading people in Central Park?

“Many decent hardworking New Yorkers, who don’t have a bigoted bone in their bodies, agree with Donald Trump, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and me: we are at war with radical Islamic terrorists, we must stop the refugee flows of Muslims we cannot properly vet, and we must identify and profile those on our soil who may cause us harm.

“The accusations of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia are absurd. We must keep our people safe. This is the #1 function of our government.

For years, Wendy Long has supported Donald Trump as the kind of national figure that could lead New York back to the Republican Promised Land.

Now, as she seeks a U.S. Senate seat for the second time in four years – this time against veteran Democrat Charles E. Schumer – the prominent Manhattan lawyer is officially hitching her underdog wagon to Trump. She argues that while the GOP presidential nominee may not garner electoral votes from heavily Democratic New York, he will prove competitive enough to attract support for a like-minded candidate on the ballot.
