We have a great student debt forgiveness program. If you work at a nonprofit, you work for the federal government, I think that's the kind of things we should be looking at. I think we should be forgiving student loan debt for police officers, for firefighters, things of that nature, if they serve honorably for five years. But there's a lot of ways that we could do this, that we could be reducing student loan debt, reducing the cost of college, also encouraging people to look at other alternative educations.
