Third, 40% of all students change colleges, but only 50% of all courses earn transfer credit. We need a federal credit transfer system to save student cost. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Students who take out loans are taking enough of a risk without the federal government raking in billions from them. Instead, a Sestak Administration will commit our country to profit-free student loans, it will significantly lower the cost of higher education. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Second, we need to change the way interest rates are calculated on government loans (currently the loan rate is based on the 10-year Treasury bond), because as it stands the government is set to make $127 billion in profit off of student loans this decade. This is wrong! — PolitiTweet.org

For lower income, we can reduce that to 5% with loan forgiveness after 2 years. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
This income-based repayment plan allows for debt forgiveness after 20 years of borrowers paying 10% of their discretionary income (after they have deducted the equivalent of 150% of poverty), regardless of the original terms of the loan. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
First, we need to expand the REPAYE program by making it universal, automatic, and grandfathering it to all people who have loans. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
We also discussed college loans — which for should not be a debt sentence, but there is a practical way to fix the student debt crisis without forgiving all loans. — PolitiTweet.org

A Cup of Joe in Keene! I spoke with local Democrats about restoring our future, and the American Dream — as well as global threats like climate change and the rise of autocrats in countries like Turkey and Poland. https://t.co/IJnDvudGKf — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I told Antrim, NH Democrats that we need to unite this country and convene the world so we can move forward once again, from tackling climate change to countering the illiberal world order that China wants to create. We also talked about Native American rights & Pentagon reform. https://t.co/SgiY4QzE2o — PolitiTweet.org

As a military man, I also can't help but think of our troops on the ground there, forced to sit idly by while their friends -- brave comrades-in-arms who have been fighting alongside us there for five years -- are in the fight of their lives. What @POTUS has done is unforgivable. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
As I walk through the beautiful autumn landscape of New Hampshire, I cannot help but think of the Kurds and others in Northern Syria who are desperately seeking safety from Turkish bombardment, unleashed by the disgraceful decision of @realdonaldtrump to abandon our allies. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Detour 1: I’ve taken a detour to Antrim to meet with the local democrats. The first of many detours along the way. Sticking a stake in the ground! https://t.co/4Ip35AKHzS — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, join me on my walk across New Hampshire where the unemployment rate would be 7.6% if you included the 5.1% who are out of the workforce who lack the skills for jobs. @realDonaldTrump, whether economic security or national security, facts matter. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
And a US labor participation rate of only 63%, not the 67% when we had prosperity 2 decades ago, leaving around 11.5 million Americans unable to get a job and out of the workforce because they lack the skills small businesses say they can’t find the skilled workforce for... — PolitiTweet.org

China forcing Djibouti and Cambodia to give it naval bases; INF Treaty broken; a military whose US Pacific commander has said no longer commands the Western Pacific; our alliances — such as @NATO — and friendships with nations in the TPP frayed... — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Mr. President, if only that were the case: Iran striking ships and other countries; Putin, commandeering @Ukraine’s warships in the Black Sea; Turkey destabilizing Syria with the invasion we greenlighted and hundreds of Isis prisoners released from Kurdish prisons... — PolitiTweet.org
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
We have become a far greater Economic Power than ever before, and we are using that power for WORLD PEACE!
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
We must rejoin the Paris accords and reassert American leadership in that critical global concord against climate change. If we fail to act, soon it will be too late! — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Peak leaf season has already been pushed back up to two weeks over recent decades. And hotter summers and the spread of pests is threatening all of New Hampshire's trees, including the iconic and economically important sugar maples. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
"Leaf peeping" is great for business here in New Hampshire (and for obvious reasons: it's gorgeous up here!): Some 3 million tourists come to New Hampshire every fall to see the colors. But, like all of nature, this tradition is under threat from climate change. https://t.co/zFhP5uthRX — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s another shuttered small business — America has too many of them, like this one in NH. Bet I had a beer here when I came camping here when the Navy sent me for a doctorate at Harvard. Can take the sailor out of the Navy, but you can’t take the Navy out of the sailor. https://t.co/Xcx9cKAL12 — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
In 1977, there were 35 new small businesses for every 10,000 working-age citizens. By 2009, that number had fallen to just 18. Yet small businesses still create 70% of all new jobs! It's time our elected officials give them the attention they give to giant corporations. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
We need to provide much more support for our small businesses, including start-up funding, entrepreneurship training, and federal small business loans. — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act removed the limit on annual coverage for employer healthcare plans. That meant that if you had costly cancer treatment, your insurer could no longer deny you care. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Great to meet Kim Stahler from Reading, PA — up in NH for the weekend, who spotted me along the road from Chesterfield to Keene as I walk across New Hampshire. She remembered my 422-mile walk across PA — and, pride of pride, voted for me! https://t.co/Ss46ZT3m7g — PolitiTweet.org

The President's appalling decision to turn his back on our allies is one that will long live in infamy. The blood of innocents is now on our hands. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I'm absolutely disgusted by reports coming out of northern Syria, including summary executions of prisoners and a prominent female political leaders, with civilians wounded and killed in fighting, and already 100,000 people fleeing their homes. — PolitiTweet.org
