Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she would seek student loan forgiveness for people in certain professions, including social workers, firefighters, teachers and police.
“I want to forgive loans if you go into national public service of some sort,” Clinton said today during a town hall meeting in Hollis, N.H. that was broadcast on NBC’s Today Show.
About 40 million Americans have student loans totaling $1.2 trillion dollars, Clinton said. Besides student loan forgiveness, Clinton said borrowers should be able to restructure student loan debts to make payments easier, community college should be free, and the costs of a college education should be reduced.
