But be that as it may, what you're looking at is completely untenable. $1.2 trillion in student loan debt is now hurting the entire US economy. The debt is too big not to fail.

It keeps getting bigger and bigger. The pressure on the entire (17 trillion dollar) economy is getting bigger and it's affecting everyone even people who don't have student loan debt. We have to find our way out of the swamp, brother or everyone keeps getting hurt.

Your housing costs are higher because of someone's student loan debt...someone you don't even know. Same is true of interest rates....hell the whole housing market is down. Please go back and read the article that I wrote.

Something has to be done. It has to stop. You have to stop victimizing the whole US economy with $1.2 trillion in student loan debt because it's too large not to fail.
