Today Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris announced her version of Medicare for All, but over the weekend, she perked ears by issuing an oddly-specific policy proposal on Twitter:
student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities.
Mockery of such thin-sliced bet-hedging came quickly—with about 7m Pell Grant Recipients and an approximately 8% total entrepreneurship rate with an approximately 60% failure rate within three years and then throw "disadvantaged communities" into the mix, it's … not a great many people, especially compared to Bernie's promise of "everyone."
