Not that many. But I see this as a fairness thing and not a need thing. College costs have especially exploded since 2008. Young people are well and truly screwed and we're only screwing ourselves by keeping degrees priced so high. We're oricing out key middle class workers from ever seeking degrees.

- It encourages current and future students to take on more debt with the expectation of more debt relief in the future.

- It does nothing to control school costs, it actually encourages schools to increase costs in the future - see above.
These two I'm concerned about.

- It will increase inflationary pressure by putting more money into the market that was to go toward loans.
This money is already in the economy.
