Us Christians got the whole on the third day he assended into heaven thing wrongs as well. Apparently Jesus came to America and hung out with the Indians. From their own website:
"The Book of Mormon tells of the resurrected Jesus Christ and His visit to His faithful followers in ancient America. After His visits to His disciples in the Old World, He descended out of heaven and appeared to His followers in ancient America.
The Book of Mormon describes how, during His visit, Jesus Christ healed their sick, taught them His gospel, blessed their children, and called twelve disciples to organize His Church in the Americas (3 Nephi 11:18; 3 Nephi 12:1-2)."

If by address you mean allow them to not pay what they owe, then I agree.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are still paying on theirs.

How does he plan to address student loans? I'm seriously curious, because I don't think I've heard either candidate speak on it.
Obama plan to cut college cost growth faces challenges
President Obama has said he wants to cut the rate of growth in college tuition costs in half over the next decade. But there are several factors he can't control.
money.cnn.com Student Loan Reform Fight Broader For Obama Than Interest Rate Debate
WASHINGTON -- On Tuesday, congressional Democrats announced plans to introduce legislation that would extend the current low interest rates on government-subsidized student loans, responding to the major public relations push from President Barack Obama. But while the issue has ginned up cable news chatter and drawn attention to a host of grassroots student debt relief efforts, it is a relatively minor front in the administrations college affordability battle.

In addressing rising tuition costs (and the subsequent necessity of student loans), Obama plans to introduce a grant program to incentivize state institutions to institute cost-cutting measures, such as greater acceptance of community college credits, reducing prices and increasing credit value of reputable online courses. As the economy recovers and states aren't as strapped for cash, there are plans in place to address what percentage of a state's budget needs to go towards higher education and subsidizing state schools in order to keep tuition costs in line with inflation.
Obama also recently eliminated a $60 billion, no-interest govt. payout to banks that was earmarked for student loans. By re-assigning that money to federal DirectLoan programs, the interest forgone by the federal government in years past will now be added to federal revenue, and by cutting out the middleman, student interest rates will be lower.
Obama has also extended Pell Grants to more than 3 million new low-income students.
As for student loan repayment, Obama has instituted the IBR (Income-Based-Repayment) plan for students with a demonstrated financial hardship, which reduces monthly federal loan payments to a percentage of income (now 15%, potentially dropping to 10%) in order to prevent defaults.

No, that article says college prices have risen completely out-of-proportion to the actual rate of inflation.
In terms of a price comparison, since I graduated in 2010, I'm paying over 4 times as much in inflation-adjusted dollars for my education as someone who went to the same school and graduated in 1985. Education costs should not quadruple over a generation - it destroys the consumer power of an entire generation and hurts the economy for everyone.
