Forgo providing free community college and instead provide relief for graduates with significant student loan debt.

Created by S.R. on January 08, 2015

While providing free community college may increase our level of education it fails to address the overwhelming amount or existing student loan debt. A significant number of college graduates are dealing with crippling student loan debt, and payments are often more than a mortgage. While the job market may finally be improving, wages remain stagnate, further increasing the problem. These graduates are not only in a position to be rewarded for completing a degree, they also can provide a boost to the economy. Forgiveness or assistance will increase disposable income and thereby increase consumer spending. We should reward those who have already achieved without needing incentives.
