It's another great example of how this country is a shit hole compared to other countries. We claim to be the best in the world but in reality we lag far behind other first world countries with any sort of social safety net.
Student loan debt is the largest drag on the economy. I still owe over $130k in student loans & I'll NEVER pay it off due to being disabled and sick, unable to work. How is that fair? It's not. And if I lived in say Germany, this wouldn't be a thing. Germany after all has tuition free 4 year college. If they can do it, so can we. It's time to stop making excuses and it's time to end the mindset of "I had to suffer so everyone else has to! No canceling of student loan debt!".
Student loan debt is responsible for many things, including not being able to find enough healthcare professionals. The intersectionalty runs deep here & until we solve this problem, voter apathy among young people will continue. The top 3 issues among people are student loan debt, the environment, and healthcare. Fix that and you'll never worry about a Republican POTUS again.
