Many people in this country have run themselves into the ground with high interest school loans in order to carve out a better life for themselves. Parasitic institutions like University of Phoenix, ITT Tech, etc. pray upon people's hopes and dreams and gives them nothing in return. The credits are not transferable and the instruction is subpar.
Others, who have worked diligently to achieve degrees at traditional institutions have been plagued with high interest school loans, high cost of living, and having to work multiple minimum wage jobs. People hope to have the payoff of being a professional in their discipline, only to be buried by extremely high loan payment amounts.

The aim of this petition is to respectfully request that President Obama pardon at least half of every college student's loan debt in the United States of America. This in turn would help millions of American citizens gain a foothold into their future and for others, give them a chance to get a degree from a reputable institution.

We, as a nation of ambitious people, can not bring about economic stability without education and training.

Please sign this petition and pass it along to your friends, family, co-workers and colleagues in school so that we may all have a better tomorrow.

Thank you
