He could have gone a little further, proposing aggressive tax credits for those who are paying their loans back or perhaps government programs, where, in exchange for working in an 'at-risk' area, the government makes your loan payment. No instead, Bernie promises something he'll most likely never be able to deliver. This is almost as bad as the current guy in the White House, who screwed all of the student loan borrowers with his tax 'act.'
