for a couple of reasons, but I think there's some merit to helping pay off student loans, especially for those who are in some sort of public service like teaching, nursing, etc.

I like Pete's idea of a year of public service of some sort to pay off some of the debt, although he admits it would take some time and work to set it up.

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