Student Loan Debt

It is insane, unfair and economically counter-productive that hundreds of thousands of bright young students leave college each year with a mountain of debt that will burden them for decades. My office recently spoke with some Vermont college students, who explained how student debt is already limiting their choices. It is time to make public colleges and universities tuition free, to unleash the full potential of our youth and to prepare them for jobs in the highly competitive global economy.
