Free college/Debt forgiveness in exchange for public or military service is fine. Or for certain professions like teachers.

I do not believe in simply eliminating all college debt. An “investment” should see a return. Like it or not, when the economy crashed and banks got $, that money was paid back. The government invested, and made $ on that deal. When you get a loan, the expectation is that economically you will pay that loan back with the degree.

Refinancing at lower rates is also something to do as well.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
