Well well, one of the wealthiest US Senators has an opinion about student debt.

A great number of tweeters responded with "don't promise me a good time, Mitt." But our favorite response used Romney's own words (about corporations, natch) against him.

Never forget that for many, student loans are actually a predatory scam that leaves borrowers in a permanent state of paying interest on interest, and the federal government helps. Mitt Romney knows this:

And about that "bribing voters" nonsense. Who was bribed when the only, and I mean the only, major proposal Trump could pass out of the US Senate that was controlled by his own party was the #TrumpTaxScam that added massive debt to the US taxpayer and paid off billionaire donors to the Republican Party.
