A December 14 article of Forbes revealed millions of people struggling to repay their student loan debts are expected to benefit from the proposal of president-elect Donald Trump.

A month before the presidential election, Trump said in Ohio that student loan debts should not be a lifetime burden to people and students should not be subject to debt that is impossible to repay. Trump is proposing a limit on the monthly payments to 12.5 percent of the borrowers’ income. Any remaining debt of the borrower would be forgiven after paying monthly dues for 15 years. The government currently allows students pay their debts for 10 years, and repayment plans are offered to them if they experience hardships in settling their monthly dues.
