Cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt

Warren said she would use existing laws to cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt for about 42 million Americans on the first day of her presidency. She argued that reducing this debt burden could help fuel small-business formation; the proposal was part of her broader student-debt cancellation plan.
