Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis doesn't support broad student-loan forgiveness. But he does think bankruptcy should be an option for borrowers who cannot afford to pay off their debt.
On Monday, DeSantis unveiled his "Declaration of Economic Independence," which outlines his economic plan should he win the presidential election and includes ten pillars that he said will support the economy and the middle class. As DeSantis said during his Monday remarks, his sixth pillar is to "reform the education system in this country, and we're going to lower barriers of entry, particularly for blue collar workers."
"The reality is we've had a generation of students go deep into debt and some of them end up with degrees in things like zombie studies, which are just not making a difference," DeSantis said.
