Trump's plan is to increase funding for the southern border wall and cut programs like Medicaid, housing assistance, and student loan forgiveness programs
According to the new budget proposal, undergraduates would be able to apply for federal student loan forgiveness after 15 years. The proposal also includes the expansion of Pell grants for short-term programs and makes them available to certain incarcerated students.
It’s unclear if anything this stark will actually pass through the same House of Representatives that recently voted to impeach the President, but it will likely be part of the conversation as the 2020 presidential race rages on. In comparison to Trump’s current take on student loans, all four of the top Democratic candidates are vying to increase access to student loan debt forgiveness. Former Vice President Joe Biden promises to increase access to Pell grants for community college classes for high schoolers and revamp the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program to support public school teachers, government employees and those who work for certain not-for-profit organizations.
