But today&#8217;s attention is addressed to Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Both proposed to cancel student loans but in different measures. <\/span><b>After Senator Elizabeth Warren announced about her initiative of cancelling $640 billion of student debts in the US, Senator Bernie Sanders proposed to cancel all $1.6 trillion of student debts.<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But who would&#8217;ve thought that these proposals might not be the problem solvers, but the problems themselves?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve seen proposals from other Democratic candidates as of to make college cheaper to repay the debt more comfortable. <\/span><b>But as for now, Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren are the only one to propose the plans for such measurement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are more than 44 million students who use student debt to pay for their education in the US. And according to the researchers, almost 40% of them could default.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both senators suggest making undergraduate programs at public colleges free, resulting in manageable access to necessary education.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to senators, this will reduce the need for student loans. <\/span><b>It&#8217;s not clear if they realise or not that most of the student loans are taken to attend private colleges, for-profit colleges and graduate school.<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Department of Education <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.ed.gov\/sa\/about\/data-center\/student\/portfolio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">released statistical information<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which states that only 45% of student loan serves for attending public schools and universities. The data also displays the high demand for a student loan for those who want to study in private schools, graduate or professional schools.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if we reach the state when Senator Sanders\u2019s proposal becomes actual, even after pushing the magic &#8220;reset button&#8221; <\/span><b>the cycle of borrowing money to attend colleges and universities will start all over again.\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What will happen next? Will the new student debt be forgiven, too? Or will the proposal only concern a specific generation of students who feel like they have won a lottery? Will the students who already paid their loans feel betrayed, and the new students feel left out?\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Sanders and Warren plan sound outstanding, and they could, in a way, provide more funding for private nonprofit colleges. <\/span><b>But in a long-term run (even in the nearest future), neither of those plans will make a significant impact on borrowing culture.\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So for now, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/the-looming-student-loan-default-crisis-is-worse-than-we-thought\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US $1.6 trillion student loan stands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
