12. We got all out of whack on student loans

Yeah, people in school need help living too, so they took loans out for things like rent and food.

At this point, it's a bomb about to drop on the economy when payments are reinstated. Dems should keep delaying them and make Republicans fight to reinstate them.

There are some good solutions out there. Income based repayment is being reworked and could be a huge change for people. I think waiving all interest is also a good option, so borrowers repay every penny they took, but not a cent in interest. Both these options can fix the crisis.
