sign a relief package for student loan debtors. By forgiving student loan debt, we can invest in our economy and future.

We provide the best education in the world in our colleges and universities, but we leave our graduates at a severe disadvantage as they leave our institutions with a degree and a mountain of debt which is normally in excess of $100,000 USD for advanced degrees. The accumulated interest and private company penalty fees associatd with trying to pay off this debt inhibits many of our college graduates from achieving their dreams and making productive contributions to our Nation and the American economy. By signing an executive order, the Obama Administration could offer real financial relief without Senate approval or blockading by a Republican minority to millions of Americans who are struggling with debt incurred while trying to better their education and improving our country.
