Who has the best plan to fix student loan debt?

Who has the best plan to fix the Student Loan Debt problem? This is the question facing everyone on the political spectrum because it doesn't matter whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Liberal or Conservative, student loan debt hits every family in some way.

To get perspective on how student loan debt affects students who have just graduated college, as a class we will watch the video clip Graduating into Debt

After watching the video clip, you can read the full article here http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/business/student-loans-weighing-down-a-generation-with-heavy-debt.html?pagewanted=all

Read this article and then post a comment: Who has the best plan? Obama, Elizabeth Warren, or the G.O.P.?

In your comment, remember to cite the article at least once. You can also respond to other student's posts and comments. But remember to take a stand and choose who has the best plan.

  1. i agree with warrens plans because if she cut un-need based loan interest there would be less money to owe even if u take out a loan. she will also compromise with Obama's plan and The republican plan.
