To be fair, democratic socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is simply trying to push his ideology and promote himself as the caring candidate who will be a champion for the poor and middle class. However, he should spend more time thinking before he tweets, as flawed logic only proves that his ideas add little to the conversation about finding real solutions to America's economic woes.
You have families out there paying 6, 8, 10 percent on student debt but you can refinance your homes at 3 percent. What sense is that?

To anyone with a modicum of economic wherewithal, it makes perfect sense as many Tweeters were only too happy to explain to Bernie:
Well you see, @SenSanders, a home has actual value, whereas a $100,000 degree in "women's studies" is WORTHLESS.

@SenSanders if you fail to pay off your mortgage the bank gets your property,a student loan?the gov gets nothing.

@SenSanders B/c the default rate on mortgages is a fraction of the rate on student loans, which anyone who isn't a pot-addled idiot knows.

@Anti_Status_Quo @Maverick_SS_49 @jimpjorps @SenSanders Funny how D's don't know secured vs. unsecured debt. Can banks repossess a degree?
