Campaigning in Iowa last week, Donald Trump told voters, the "only way" to bring down tuition rates to affordable levels was through "some governmental program. "
The Washington Examiner reports that Mr. Trump was asked what he would do to help middle and low income Americans "pay their tuition" and "afford books while they're going to school. "
Trump said the following:
"Well the only way you can do it is you have to start some governmental program and you have governmental programs right now," Trump told the moderator during the forum, which was held at a local community college.
"They go, and they work, and they take loans, and they're borrowed up, and they can't breathe, and they get through college and the worst thing is, they go through that whole process and they don't have any job," the billionaire said, referring to the majority of undergraduates enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities.
He continued,"You know the one program that the U.S. makes a whole lot of money with is student loans, and that's maybe the one program they shouldn't be making money with. "
"So we're going to have to start a program," he said. "We're going to do something very big with loans because you have to get these people going. They really feel down and out. "
Addressing the problem of mounting student debt, Mr. Trump further suggested "we're going to do refinancing for people who have loans who literally can't do anything. "

I see absolutely no difference between “the Next won” and Obama/Hillary or Bernie.......none. More government for all. He has just really started to unveil the real Trump now that he he has his hooks into the hypnotized supporters they can’t get loose, until he counts to 3.
Just one more example of Trump willing to absolutely anything to win. He is a malignant nacissist and wants to win no matter what he had to say or do. If he were to win, you can count on the fact that Trump’s action will nothing to do with his promises.
Once again more government and republicans think this guy is conservative. Rope-a-dope.
He never heard of the GI Bill?
His fans won't mind some big gov programs.....you know what they say after all....love is blind.
