Under a President Jeb Bush, students wouldn’t be able to go to college debt-free, but they would have access to a $50,000 line of credit provided by the federal government.

That’s one of several proposals the Republican presidential candidate laid out Monday to make college more affordable. Unsurprisingly, Bush’s plan has a free-market, conservative bent and it doesn’t go the way of the Democratic presidential field in proposing increased government spending as a way to offer tuition or debt-free college for students. But unlike some of his Republican rivals who have proposed dismantling the Department of Education, Bush’s plan does share at least one tenet in common with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and includes other student debt fixes with bipartisan support.

“In a primary that has lacked a major policy focus to say the least, it’s nice to be able to grapple with some thoughtful proposals,” said Mark Huelsman, a senior policy analyst at Demos, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that advised the Clinton campaign on its college affordability plan.

The cornerstone of Bush’s plan is a revamp of the student loan system that would allow high school graduates to pay for college through a $50,000 line of credit provided through their Educative Savings Account — his version of the tax-advantaged college savings vehicles known as 529 accounts that families could use to save for pre-K through college. For every $10,000 students use for college or job training, they would be required to pay back 1% of their income for 25 years. Families wouldn’t have to save themselves to have access to the $50,000 line of credit.

Other Republican presidential candidates, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have proposed a similar investment to help students pay for college, though in Rubio’s case the money would be provided through a private investor. Advocates of this type of system argue that it would protect students from defaulting on their loans during periods of unemployment or economic hardship. It could also simplify the repayment process by simply taking payments through tax withholding; Australia and a handful of other countries around the world use a similar system.

“Students will have incentives to spend wisely and more power to chart their own path,” Andrew Kelly and Jason Delisle, higher education analysts at two different D.C.-based think tanks and informal advisers to Bush’s campaign, wrote of the plan Monday.

Detractors note that this system wouldn’t get at the underlying reasons why college is becoming more expensive and students are taking on more debt, namely that state investment in higher education has dropped precipitously in recent years. “It doesn’t deal with some of the fundamental reasons that at colleges where most students go, costs have been going up,” Huelsman said of Bush’s proposal.

Under Bush’s plan, students with existing debt could transfer into his new income-withholding system. For those who choose not to, Bush says he would help ease the transition into the REPAYE program — an income-based repayment program launched by the Obama administration late last year.

In addition to the loan revamp, Bush said he would make it easier for students to pursue higher education through “innovative new providers.” Though he didn’t specify who those providers would be exactly, it isn’t uncommon for right-leaning pundits and politicians to advocate a more free-market approach to higher education that boosts access to online courses and other alternative programs in the hopes that increased competition will drive college costs down. Before officially announcing his presidential bid, Bush stepped down from the board of a company that sells online courses to public university students.

Despite the plan’s conservative bent, Bush offered several proposals on which there is some bipartisan agreement. The first is a plan to require colleges and career training programs to have “skin in the game,” in other words they would be forced to pay a portion of the federal loans their alumni fail to pay back. Clinton’s college affordability plan includes a similar initiative.

The former Florida governor also proposed allowing borrowers to discharge private student loan debt in bankruptcy, a plan which likely would have some bipartisan appeal. The Obama administration proposed rolling back a 2005 law — passed during George W. Bush’s administration — that makes it harder for borrowers to discharge private student loan debt in bankruptcy, in a report released last year.

In addition, Bush’s revamp of the student loan system would mean that low-income students would accumulate their federal grants for college while in high school. Many right- and left-leaning pundits agree that the earlier low-income students are made aware of the fact that they have money to pay for college, the more likely they will be to go.

Of course it’s hard to say whether any of these proposals will become reality, given that Bush is trailing well behind Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Republican race for the nomination, according to recent polls. Perhaps an answer to the student debt crisis could help Bush’s efforts, given that most millennials don’t have a favorable view of Trump, at least compared with his Democratic rivals.

The Republican front-runner has criticized the student loan system on the campaign trail, but has offered little in the way of specifics of how he would fix it. Trump derided the government for making a profit off student loans — a notion Department of Education officials have refuted. Over the weekend Trump told supporters in New Hampshire that he frequently hears questions about student debt from young people. He assured the crowd, “I’m going to solve the problem, okay?” according to a Washington Examiner report.
