I propose reducing the interest rates on federal student loans to zero percent for past, present and future recipients of such loans.
Why is this important?
Student loan debt is crushing students like never before and as a result, graduates are unable to afford a decent lifestyle of even just the basics. Given the fact that education is fundamental belief and value in this country as well as the bedrock to the success of the economy, if students are required shoulder the burden of debt, it should at least be an interest free loan.
