Gary Johnson

Gary Johnson has a lot of controversial ideas. The ones I'm most interested in are his elimination of the Dept of Edu, eliminating loans for college, and the voucher system for K-12.

I haven't been able to find anything specific on his plans, other than his reasoning, which has flaws. Any help finding details?

I know he elaborated a bit on the student loan portion of his views in the 3rd party debate.

Just watched that portion. Great, get of the loans to drive college costs down, but at the same time, it won't happen overnight. Only those with money can go to college(he also hints at a scholarship lottery) or leave it up to chance with the lottery. What happens in the future job market if a significant portion of the country doesn't have higher education. My family couldn't afford to pay my college, but we weren't hard up by any means growing up. I have enough student loan debt to pay for a second mortgage. I don't even want to think what my brother is facing, now that he's almost done with med school.
