Interest should be waived on Federal Student loans at least while in forbearence. Some students graduated in the recession and were unable to find employment earning enough to begin repaying student loans, and were forced into forbearence. Since I have been in forbearence for four years my Federal Student loans have accrued $20,000 in interest alone. President Obama stated that educating Americans should be a priority, so why put a tax on those who are making higher education their own priority?
