The Real Crisis of Student Debt

The real crisis of student debt is that it keeps young people from connecting with a personal sense of financial autonomy.

As adults, this leads to a docile, disempowered and immature citizenry. When you don't have anything, you have nothing to lose, and this is the attitude with which millions of student debtors enter into adult life.

As a result, student debtors vote differently, they make money differently, and, literally, they have less invested in society as a whole. This is ultimately how the student debt crisis affects all of us, and why this story must be told.
