Elizabeth Warren Proposes $640 Billion Student Debt Relief...

COLLEGE TUITION ANALYST: Dr. Michael Busler, Ph.D., is a public policy analyst, economics expert and a professor of finance at Stockton University in New Jersey. He is a featured columnist at Newsmax, The Hill, and Townhall.com.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) proposed Monday a new $640 billion student college debt relief program that would also eliminate college tuition for all two and four-year public colleges.

The 2020 Democrat presidential candidate unveiled the ambitious policy proposal as she attempts to distinguish herself from the large and progressive Democrat field. Warren released the proposal ahead of a series of youth-oriented CNN town halls Monday night with 2020 presidential candidates at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire.

“It’s a problem for all of us,” Warren noting, that student college debt has reached more than $1.5 trillion and affects more than 40 million Americans. “It’s reducing home ownership rates. It’s leading fewer people to start businesses. It’s forcing students to drop out of school before getting a degree.”

Warren’s plan, which would cost roughly $640 billion, would eliminate up to $50,000 in student debt for each person with less than $100,000 in household income. The Massachusetts senators’ plan would also lower college debt for those making incomes between $100,000 and $250,000 but at a more gradual rate. Americans with household income over $250,000 would not receive student debt relief.

Sen. Warren would then eliminate tuition and fees fro all two-year and four-year public colleges as a means to restructure the higher education system to ensure that Americans do not accumulate more college debt.

We explore many different subjects on this segment with author Allan K Patch, but today were going to

delve into the scientific macabre. We’re going to talk about one of the most brilliant persons ever,

Albert Einstein, his early life, and what happened to his brain.

1. What inspired Albert as a boy to be interested in science?

Born in 1879, Grew up in a middle-class Jewish Family in Ulm Germany

Given a compass at age 5- mystified by invisible forces of nature.

Not the best student, told by a strict teacher he would not amount to anything.

A tutor gave him a children’s science book to read that asked the question: What if you could ride

alongside an electrical charge in a telegraph wire? Einstein thought: What if it were a beam of light?

THERES LESSONS HERE FOR PARENTS: You Never know what inspire your child, and don’t listen to

naysayers about their prospects.

2. What were the highpoints of his career?

1905- Groundbreaking year- 4 major papers on atomic theory, including E= MC2

1921- Nobel Prize

Left Germany in 1932 as Hitler’s power grew to Princeton, US

Advised FDR on power of Atomic Energy- helping to stimulate Manhattan Project

3. When did he die and what happened to his brain?

Died in 1955. Without permission, the pathologist- Thomas Harvey, removed Einstein’s brain to study it

with the idea of discovering- what made him a genius.

He took pictures of the brain and then cut it into pieces and stored them in 2 jars. Moved to Wichita,

Kansas, where he kept the brain segments in a cider box under a beer cooler for 22 years. Gave it up to

science.

Studies claimed there were significant differences in his brain anatomy that might explain his cognitive

powers, but later studies proved inconclusive. Maybe with a fresh brain, and todays science more might

have been understood.

We still don’t know exactly what is the foundation the spark of his genius. Recent advances in brain

studies might help uncover how the brain functions.

Allan Patch’s fast paced adventure novels bring history to life in the Delphi series. Passage At Delphi is

the first novel in the series exploring the confluence of the past, present, and future with ordinary

people tossed into extraordinary situations. Delphi’s Chosen continues the adventure...but now the

characters are volunteers rather than victims. He invites readers along for the thrilling ride and explores

the difference between heroism and celebrity in the context of past and present culture.
