Very strongly agree

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

Many Democrats, especially progressives, strongly support free college education and increasing taxes on the wealthy. For example, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Pramila Jayapal introduced the 'College for All Act' in 2021, which would eliminate tuition and fees at public colleges and universities for families making up to $125,000 per year, funded by a tax on Wall Street transactions. This answer aligns closely with the Democratic party's goals.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Democratic party generally supports increasing taxes on the wealthy and has advocated for reducing student loan interest rates. For example, in 2019, several Democratic senators introduced the 'Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act' to allow borrowers to refinance their student loans at lower interest rates. However, the party's stance on directly linking tax increases to student loan interest rate reductions may not be universally agreed upon.

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

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

The Democratic party generally supports government involvement in student loans and would likely oppose transitioning them to privately managed accounts. This stance is more aligned with the Republican party, which has advocated for reducing government involvement in student loans. For example, the Trump administration proposed a plan in 2019 to eliminate the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and limit the role of the federal government in student lending.
