Strongly agree

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

Johnson was a strong advocate for education and implemented several policies to increase access to education, including the Higher Education Act of 1965. This act expanded federal aid to higher education and provided low-interest loans for students, so he would likely strongly agree with increasing government funding for education.

Agree

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