It's more the fact that Hillary's campaign funding has to be reported, but the Clintons won't reveal where donations to the Presidential Library are coming from, for example. And she put 5 million of her own money into that campaign, if it came from someone shady via Bill than it will look really bad. And honestly the more the Clintons protest the more it looks like they have something to hide.

This is probably going to come out wrong, because I'm typing but here goes:
I don't know if either of the Clinton's took out student loans. Maybe neither of them had to because their families were either already wealthy and just paid outright for it for their educations... maybe they started a nestegg when the two were born. (If they didn't get loans?)
Why does it matter if/when they did, and even if they did, why would it be wrong that they are already paid off? They are at least 10ish yrs older than the Obamas, and her husband was the President of the US for awhile and prior to that he was doing all kinds of snazzy jobs where I'm sure they would have used funds to pay off the loans if they did have them, they both had books, and I'm sure they get paid to give speeches and all, they would have to pay back their loans just like everyone else.
I took out student loans... a bunch... and I've been out of school for almost 3ish years now... guess what? I'm not a millionaire, I don't make an insane amount of money... but I've managed to pay off more than half of them already. I'm not even 27 yet. It can be done. Does that make me some super rich elitist person? No. I just lived on a tight budget and put whatever free money I could to pay off the bank.
I just don't get this whole "well I just paid off my college loans so see? I'm just like you! You should vote for me!!!!" stuff.
What does Bill Clinton's Presidential Library have to do with any of this? Him & Hill are two completely seperate different people.
Sorry but I'm not buying the whole "YEEEESSSS WEEEEE CAAAAAAN!!!" crap.
