How many people have $50,000 - $200,000 to pay for a college degree?
Your average, working-class student HAS TO FINANCE USING LOANS
or grants. They have no alternative.

Problem #1 : Tuition costs are absurdly high. I went to a state university
to get a BSN degree in 1984 and the tuition cost per semester was $800 !
I still needed a student loan which I paid off in 18 months.

Problem #2 : We are a nation enslaved by debt and obscene interest rates.

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