Elizabeth Warren on Morning Joe Television Show

Elizabeth Warren was interviewed on The Morning Joe television show on MSNBC.

She talked about the huge issue of the contraction of opportunities for middle-class people. People have been forced to take on huge debt to get a
college education that was supposed to be a ticket to open the doors to opportunity. Instead, after graduation, they cannot get a job and they are saddled with this huge debt without the means to pay it off, let alone get ahead.

You can also see the video below on Warren’s web page, Call on Congress Not to Double Student Loan Rates, but more importantly you can see she puts her efforts behind solving the big problems..

After the interview, you can stick around for the interview with Scott Brown. He talked all about the value of his bipartisanship and solving small problems. It was as if he were completely unaware of the huge problems in this country that his small problem attitude is just not enough to fix. If you add on his support for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and already successful while cutting back on the opportunities for the middle-class, that the few problems he solves pale in comparison to the huge problems he helps cause.

Scott Brown struggled in his young life to get a college education. Is he even aware of how much more difficult it is now then when he went through the process? No mention of this issue in this interview. I guess it’s just not on his radar screen. Would he have had an answer if the interviewers had just asked?
