What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate

Jobs and the frustration of Americans with an economy where the average real household income is less than it was 10 years ago is driving the candidacies of both Sanders and Trump. Both Clinton and Sanders are pushing different plans for paying for education and dealing with student debt, with Sanders proposing free college education at public institutions. Clinton, on the other hand, talks about refinancing student debt. It’s worth noting that student debt cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy, and a few seniors have even seen their Social Security checks garnished for student debt.

We’ve heard it a lot tonight: The unemployment rate for Latinos/Hispanics is higher than the national average — specifically, it was 5.4 percent in February 2016, compared to the national rate of 4.9 percent. But the gap has been narrowing since the Great Recession, when it was more than 3 percentage points higher.

A: Good question. Bill Clinton typically gets paid almost $200,000 per event, though he once made $750,000. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has made $270,000 for a speech. Former Vice President Al Gore once pocketed $156,000 for a half-hour speech. There’s plenty more on politicians-turned-paid-speakers from ABC News, Fortune, The Washington Post and the Daily Beast. Turns out it can pay better to be considered a business success than to be a political one: Trump has made $1.5 million a pop for speeches at the Learning Annex.
