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

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.
