Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) defended her plan to pay off college loans after being confronted by a father in Iowa in an exchange that went viral.<\/p>\n

The father approached Warren, a leading Democratic presidential contender, after a campaign event in Grimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughters getting out of school, I saved all my money, so she doesnt have any student debt. Am I going to get my money back?\u201d the man asked Warren.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not,\u201d Warren replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we end up paying for people who didnt save any money, then those who did the right thing get screwed,\u201d the father told her. He then described a friend who makes more money but didnt save up while he worked double shifts to save up to pay for his daughters college.<\/p>\n

The father became upset, accusing Warren of laughing. \u201cWe did the right thing and we get screwed,\u201d he added before walking off.<\/p>\n

In an appearance on \u201cCBS This Morning\u201d on Friday, Warren was asked about the exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, we build a future going forward by making it better. By that same logic what would we have done? Not started Social Security because we didnt start it last week for you or last month for you,\u201d Warren said.<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether she was saying \u201ctough luck\u201d to people like the father, she said \u201cNo.\u201d She then recounted how she got to go to college despite coming from a poor family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a $50 a semester option for me. I was able to go to college and become a public school teacher because America had invested in a $50 a semester option for me. Today thats not available,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe dont build an America by saddling our kids with debt. We build an America by saying were going to open up those opportunities for kids to be able to get an education without getting crushed by studenRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
