Democrats would pay for the continuance of the lower student loans by raising payroll taxes on high-earning stockholders of some privately owned corporations.

Well, Mitt, looks like you got some 'splaining to do to the college-age voters and also to their parents. Those are two big voter blocs for either party and the G'Nopers have probably lost them.
Any links to this?? I actually got my Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education grant for my MA in Librarianship (loan if I did not return to Nevada to work) forgiven for work I did on improving the situation of victims/survivors of crimes through improving access to practical information. None of this work was done in Nevada but it affected every state in the US in some way or another. I did most of this work from Palm Harbor, FL as well as Minneapolis, MN and Rohnert Park, CA.

Maybe forgiveness for loans due to community work could be an option for recent college grads who cannot find work.
