back my debt but the problem is senator warren doesn't understand where people like myself are coming from, people who have sacrificed. it is not fair to us. todd: these are from elizabeth warren. i think tells the story. take a look. 65% if you add up the second highest quintile, 65% of relief is going to the top two income tears. the next chart, 56% is going to those with postcollege degrees. doesn't the combination of these two charts show that this money will go to people who quite frankly will have the means by virtue of the job they are in to pay off these loans rather quickly meaning this is money going to the rich? >> absolutely right. what this is going to do is analyze the latin american like

myself, blue-collar workers and decided to serve in the military so they could get the g.i. bill, to benefit these as they would say privileged people the chose to major in ridiculous subject areas like gender theory is not fair to them but paid it off ourselves. todd: i went to law school, it cost 40,$000 for three years, try doing that now. 27,$000 in loans but i was making a lawyer's salary and was able to pay off, the reason the plumber who makes business decisions and work 16 hours a day trying to make a living, made the decision not to go to college has to pay for me. that makes no sense whatsoever. final word to you. >> absolutely. democrats aren't addressing the root cause of the problem. the reason tuition is so high is
