The work of Robert N. Pollin, Distinguished Professor in economics and co-director of the Political Economy Research Institute, is cited in a story about efforts to deal with the student loan crisis and a proposal by Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders to forgive all U.S. student debt by taxing every stock and bond trade. Pollin estimates this transaction tax would generate about $220 billion per year. (The Epoch Times, 7/15/19)
