I agree the student loan program needs to either end, or be entirely revamped. If they continue to exist, they should only be extended for programs that would provide a degree in a field that is in high demand at that time. I don't want to see people locked out of the possibility of college due to being super low-income, but of course there are scholarships available for that as well. Maybe it would be best to do away with it entirely, I don't know all of the ins-and-outs.

I also don't believe in student loan forgiveness, but if they were able to fix the issuing of the loans, then I'd be for cutting the interest rate on existing loans.. perhaps getting rid of the interest entirely if it means moving past this abomination.

Bottom line is - something needs to be done and it needs to be a main focus of Trump's second term. Whatever the hell the current iteration of this program is, there was no thought or planning that went into it .. at least to ensure it was done correctly. I would consider this to be a national crisis.
