A report from University of Massachusetts economist Barry Bluestone and colleagues proposes using a portion of the Social Security surplus to establish a life time $40,000 line of credit for every American to cover college, vocational training, or apprenticeships. The plan envisions a new Education Department agency to raise capital, award loans, and oversee repayment through IRS payroll deductions, with long repayment periods and income-based adjustments to keep totals manageable.
