I would also propose those who have paid their Fed Loans off or close to doing so should have reimbursement for doing so. For fairness. I'm not in that boat on my Fed Loan I still owe tens of thousands, but know several who are. And to be fair they should have what they paid returned to them. Some paid tens of thousands so they should get that money back if I were to have my loans forgiven. People who did pay them over the past 30 years should be given their money back for paying it. And us who still owe simply just have it all forgiven, no money back. I think that would be a fair proposition to everyone. And since we're talking about Federal loans, it would just be zeroed out on the books as we do with all deficit spending, most massively the military spending which causes huge deficits in the budget. As far as private student loans, simply allowing bankruptcy protection again would allow many who have too much in private loans to use that protection. And of course going forward, tuition free programs. And some other programs that would help dorm expenses and even food. A big problem we face is it took me 8 year to complete my first degree working full time an associates degree. Then another year to complete my bachelors degree. I spent time in the military and left and used by GI bill full time to school, and got my next associates degree in 1.5 years... the idea is to get people in and out of schools and onto using their education when its still fresh. Not when most of its outdated and/or forgotten.
