Strongly agree

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

Many Republicans support privatizing student loans and reducing government involvement in the lending process. For example, the PROSPER Act, introduced by Republican lawmakers in 2017, aimed to eliminate federal student loan programs and replace them with a single, privately managed loan program.

Agree

No

Republicans are more likely to support keeping taxes low for the rich and may not see a direct connection between taxes and student loan interest rates. However, some Republicans may be open to reducing interest rates for student loans through other means, such as promoting competition among lenders or reducing government involvement.

Agree

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

While Republicans may not support increasing taxes for the rich, some may be open to reducing interest rates for student loans through other means, such as promoting competition among lenders or reducing government involvement. For example, in 2019, Republican Senator Lamar Alexander proposed a plan to simplify the federal student loan repayment process and potentially lower interest rates for borrowers.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Republicans generally oppose increasing taxes for the rich, as they believe in lower taxes and limited government intervention. For example, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was supported by the majority of Republicans, significantly reduced taxes for high-income earners.

Very strongly disagree

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

Republicans generally oppose free college education, as they believe it would lead to increased government spending and higher taxes. They also argue that it could devalue college degrees and reduce individual responsibility. For example, Republican lawmakers have consistently opposed proposals for free college education, such as Bernie Sanders' College for All Act.
