I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be in your Twenties and carry tens of thousands of dollars of college loan debt. And we wonder where the mental health crisis comes from? Economic anxiety is a pit of despair. Every American should realize that college and public universities were tuition free up until the mid-1960s. Unfettered capitalism is ravenous in its search for a profit center, even if it emerges from or causes human suffering. How dare we tell young people they should have respect for capitalism when they. have. no. capital! None of this will change until we change it. #ANewBeginning

The mental health crisis is because of student loans? You are not serious.

Economic anxiety is absolutely at the heart of much of the mental health crisis. And I am VERY serious.

I didn’t have to imagine it, I lived it. Over $60,000 in debt before I was 30. 25 years later, making monthly payments that whole time with a couple of deferments here and there, I still owe the same amount. The principal hasn’t gone down.

There are multiple problems with college. Not enough jobs so people think if they go to college that will solve their problem

Nobody forced you to take out a loan for college

I was and I paid it all back with interest and I’m successful bc of that! You’re delusional Marianne

The low IQ of Williamson on full display here. And no, the mental health crisis we witness is not caused by student loans. It's caused by bad parenting, lack of moral training, lack of boundaries, lack of role models, and being oppressed by Woke teachers of the NEA.
