Student Debt

In America today, the cost of higher education has become a barrier for millions of young people who dream of a college degree. It’s outrageous that so many students are graduating with crushing levels of student loan debt that follow them for years, holding them back from pursuing their dreams and contributing fully to our economy. That’s why I believe we need to fundamentally change our approach to higher education and student loans.   First and foremost, we need to make public colleges and universities tuition-free for all students. Education should be a right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. By eliminating tuition fees, we can ensure that every young person has the opportunity to pursue a higher education without being burdened by debt.​Additionally, we need to address the student debt crisis that is weighing down millions of Americans. We should significantly reduce student loan interest rates and offer relief programs that provide meaningful debt forgiveness. No one should have to choose between paying for basic necessities and paying off their student loans.​Our current student loan system is broken. It’s time to overhaul it and create a system that works for everyone. We need to simplify the process, provide more transparency, and ensure that students are not being taken advantage of by predatory lenders.​Education is the key to a brighter future for our country. We need to invest in our young people and give them the tools they need to succeed. By making higher education more accessible and affordable, we can build a stronger, more prosperous America for generations to come.​
