Agree

No, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts

While Bush did not specifically advocate for the privatization of student loans, his administration generally favored market-based solutions and private sector involvement in areas traditionally managed by the government. This suggests he might support this idea, but there's no strong historical evidence to support a high score.

Slightly agree

No, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans

While Bush might agree with the idea of reducing interest rates for student loans, his administration did not take significant action in this area.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education

Bush's policies did not align with the idea of increasing government funding to provide free college education. His administration was characterized by tax cuts and a general reduction in government spending, particularly in areas like education where he favored more local control and private sector involvement.
