Jim Slattery, candidate for the U.S. Senate in Kansas, unveiled a new $5,000 college tuition tax cut last week.
"Few investments are more important than ensuring every young person who aspires to attend college has the opportunity," Slattery said.Slattery said the cost of attending college has skyrocketed.
"Tuition at Pittsburg State has increased 75 percent in the last five years," Slattery said.
In order to pay the increased tuition rates, more students are taking out student loans that are difficult to pay back in the current economy. See my video following Slattery around on the flip.....
"Students are becoming increasingly burdened by student loan debt," Slattery said. "On average, a student owes nearly $20,000 when they graduate."I was honored to receive unvetted access to follow Slattery along on his tour talking with him as well as other students interested in his plan as well as other important issues this election. Slattery spent time answering questions in town hall style meetings as well as a special candidate forum hosted by the popular site 18 in 08.
This is cross-posted from RTV and Wiretap but no one seems to want to approve it so I just posted it here.
