he father approached Warren, a leading Democratic presidential contender, after a campaign event in Grimes.
“My daughter’s getting out of school, I saved all my money, so she doesn’t have any student debt. Am I going to get my money back?” the man asked Warren.
“Of course not,” Warren replied.
“So, we end up paying for people who didn’t save any money, then those who did the right thing get screwed,” the father told her.
He then described a friend who makes more money but didn’t save up while he worked double shifts to save up to pay for his daughter’s college.
The father became upset, accusing Warren of laughing.
“We did the right thing and we get screwed,” he added before walking off.

While I hate Warren, I just don't understand the logic there. I wouldn't expect my money back for health insurance if all the sudden it was free tomorrow.

The real issue is when something is made 'free' to some there is no restraint on cost to others. There is no reasonable explanation why college cost have been rising far faster that the rate of overall inflation. Her making it 'free' to all gives colleges and universities free reign to pass ever higher cost to taxpayers.

Dumb logic? You got your name right. Your comparison of health insurance and higher education loans is absolutely ridiculous.
