I posted this on the Politician facebook page of my congressman, U.S. Rep. Dennis A. Ross (R-Fla-12) --not only this youtube vid but also your Facebook vid as well --and supported your claims wit hmy research --which is front page news on my research blogs. -- It's a sad day when my conservative Republican peeps in the GOP are REFUSING to use 'morally right' Free Market principles that you advocate -which WOULD stimulate the economy without an inflationary effect. LOL

I will post this to my facebook. I don't understand why this had not made national news. I only hear about it once in a while.

Rep Clarke im so proud how you handle those clueless republicans that have no vision or plan but to cry about the President. They have no plan,vision or clue to connect with the american people or to get this country back on track. Nice job on c-span. Great representive.

@skankuser You are retarded suck machine, the richest guys in the world have no college education.

[TheDukeljk]

This is bat shit crazy idea.

[skankuser]

@jukeshotrods Without a college education, getting a job that can support you financially in the 21st Century is downright impossible. The Federal Government instituted the loan and pell grant system to give people the chance to obtain that education, but in all their wisdom, decided it was best to let private lenders control those loans.  With the economic recession and no jobs, those lenders still want their money. You're tell me these students expected this economic collapse?

Dumbass.

[jukeshotrods]

What an idiot. Nobody forced students to take out loans. This is on them and they should be forced to pay up. Hey, nobody ever forgave any debts I've had. Just more liberal crap to redistribute everyone elses wealth. BTW, dems, you don't represent me in any way so quit saying "the American People want...". Idiots from the white house down, stfu!

@sakarin4prez They are all bought and paid for with a couple of exceptions like Paul, Bartlett and Sanders and maybe a few others. Go to the young turks channel and look at the video they did about Rick "the idiot" Perry, and all of the selling out he did, it's really bad. For example, a scientific study recommended that a dump not be created, and he gave an exclusive contract to do it anyway (worth 500 million) to a guy who gave his campaign 1 million dollars.

@christo930 prophetic... forget the showboating on both sides, forget the i'll support your prop if you give me something I want-- our representatives need to vote how their constituants tell them to vote. end of story. they are there to represent the people.

[GordonWayneWatts]

In other words: I'm suggesting that you and Rep. Dennis A. Ross (R-Fla-12) can make a deal here: If you support the Balanced Budget Amendment, he should support BOTH Forgiveness of Student Loans (at least partial forgiveness: I'm a conservative NOT looking for a Free Handout of Total Forgiveness here), AND ALSO Ross --in return --should support HR2028. -- Is that a good deal that I propose here?

[WalkinLA]

Rep Clarke, I am in agreement with your position wholeheartedly. Thanks for the vision and courage to actually represent people's interest whether you truly intend this or not.

I highly recommend you support the Freeman sovereignty movement as another means to "Redistribute Wealth" and gather facts about past criminal acts that have no statuette of limitations. Investigate why no citizen of the U.S.A. is permitted access to their original birth certificate. These were sold on Wall Street.

@GordonWayneWatts While that is true, we owe about 1/3 of the debt to foreigners! In the past, American investors held nearly all of the debt and we were the worlds largest creditor nation, with huge interest payments coming into our economy, but now we have outflows of capital to foreign corporations and central banks. Can you imagine if the interest rate goes back to historical averages and we have to roll all this short term debt over at the new higher rate of interest?!? We can hope it won't
