> Here’s how we fix the student debt crisis in three easy steps: > Make repayment of all student loans (assumed to the current year only) 100% tax deductible, and retroactively — at least in some part — for people who already paid. >Remove all legal barriers to discharging student loan debt in bankruptcy. >Abolish the institution of federal student loans.
