President Trump signed a measure yesterday that seeks to remove the bureaucratic barriers for permanently disabled veterans to qualify for student loan forgiveness, which he said would save 25,000 wounded warriors an average of $30,000, the New York Times reported. “I am proud to announce that I am taking executive action to ensure that our wounded warriors are not saddled with mountains of student debt,” Trump said. The savings projected by the Trump administration represents a small fraction of about $1.6 trillion in overall student loan debt in the U.S., which has become a point of emphasis among many of the Democrats running for president.
