Senator Marco Rubio addressed the burden of student debt that has stymied the path of many college graduates in his speech on Tuesday. Outlining his vision for the American economy, Rubio said, “We do not need timid tweaks to the old system; we need a holistic overhaul.” His plan for college and university education included two proposals that would make student loans more affordable. He first proposed an income-based payment system that would allow graduates to pay back their creditors at a rate suitable for their levels of earnings. His second idea was to allow a relationship between investors and students. Investors would pay for the students’ tuition, and in return, receive a percentage of the students’ salary for a few years after they graduate. What do you think about Rubio’s economic plan for higher education?
