FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Say goodbye to the FAFSA form if Hillary Clinton is elected president.
Reducing student loan paperwork may not qualify as a marquee issue like ending the Iraq war and establishing a universal health-care system. But it’s one way Clinton can portray herself as a detail-oriented policy wonk who will make voters’ lives easier.
While her rival Barack Obama delivers a broad message of hope and change, Clinton’s speeches are so laden with specifics you can almost see the bullet points.
For voters who deal with the federal bureaucracy on a regular basis, that can be an appealing proposition.
“The day I retired from the military, I became a third-class citizen,” one man told her during a question-and-answer session here. “I just wanted to thank you for what you’re doing for the veterans.”
