I support low interest educational loans that go strictly to non-profit colleges. I would pay for them, as well as deficit reduction in general, by repealing ALL of the Bush tax cuts, or, better, by introducing a VAT. I think concentrating tax increases only on "the rich", to pay for programs that benefit mostly the middle class, is terrible policy.

'Are you opposed to the idea of keeping the student loan rate at the present level instead of seeing it double? If not, and you are faced with having to pay for it, how would you propose doing so?"

Why doesn't the interest rates on the loans themselves pay for them?
