BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Rep. Ilhan Omar wants to cancel all $1.6 trillion of public and private student debt and pay for it with a tax on Wall Street transactions. “As someone who’s part of the debt generation, I wanted to make sure that we were creating a proposal that would alleviate the kind of stress that people are dealing with,” the 37-year-old Democrat from Minnesota said during a panel discussion on BET. “This debt isn’t a rich-person problem,” she said. “Trump and Trump’s children are not benefiting from this cancellation. They don’t carry student debt. Most of the people who carry student debt are the poor and the middle class. And the beauty of my plan is we may not have to tax all Wall Street transactions, because we might be able to pay off all of the massive debts by only targeting the rich Jews.”
