Crazy Bernie wants to give $1.6 trillion to the wealthiest Americans

Politico reports:

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday proposed eliminating all of the nearly $1.6 trillion in outstanding student loan debt owed by Americans, raising the stakes on an issue that has increasingly animated the progressive base of the Democratic party.
Sanders is the latest 2020 presidential contender to propose a one-time cancellation program that would forgive large portions of student loan debt, which is owed by some 45 million Americans.

Donald Trump must be hoping Sanders wins the Democratic nomination.
