  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

Student Loan Debt And The 2020 Presidential Election

Student loans are a hot topic amongst the democratic party’s frontrunners. When a candidate raises concern for the 44.7 million Americans who have student loan debt of $35,359.00 each, the voters start to perk their ears that a candidate actually cares about them. Or, is the candidate just buying a vote by claiming they can make thousands of dollars disappear?

The following is each leading candidate’s stance on student loan debt:

 

Warren Sanders Biden Buttigieg Trump
The Promises Cancels student loan debt for 95% of Americans.
Create a tuition-free 2 or 4-year college system.		 Cancels all student loan debt.
“College for All Act” – Tuition-free college, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs.		 Income-based repayment plan.
Up to two years of free community college.		 Income-based repayment plan.
American Opportunity Agenda: two and four-year free public college.		 One income-driven repayment plan that caps at 12.5% of discretionary income.
The Plan
  • Cancels UP TO $50,000 in debt for each household with income <100K
  • Discharge steps down with increased income.
  • Debt that is canceled will not be taxed as income.
  • Everyone’s student loan debt is canceled.
  • Create a tuition-free education for everyone.
  • Income = <25K per year: no repayment and no interest.
  • >25K per year:  pay 5 % of your discretionary income over that $25,000 threshold toward your federal student loan payments.
  • Remaining balances after 20 years = discharged
  • For families earning < $100K = free public college.
  • $100-$150K = reduced tuition.
  • Invest in the Pell Grant program to increase grant sizes.
  • Encourage responsible borrowing and create debt ceilings for federal loans.
  • Accelerate program completion to reduce the cost of education
  • Encouragement of shorter-term programs such as trade schools, certificate programs etc.
