Yesterday John McCain announced his Higher Education Policy in a press release. Took him long enough.

Did he just wake up yesterday and realize that there is a huge number of young voters in this country who might be interested in his plans for them?

Recently I have been doing research on issues of interest to the under-30 voter in the upcoming presidential election. This included looking at Barack Obama and John McCain’s campaign proposals as well as their voting records in the Senate.

Higher Education (and how to pay for it) is one of those issues.

An April 2008 survey of American college students showed that half of them worry about having "too much student loan debt". And that’s a 30% increase since 2007. The economy and stingy financial aid policies are taking their toll on everyone.
