The Student Debt Crisis Explodes



Student loan debt, $1 trillion, now surpasses credit card debt, and is expected to be the next big financial bubble which will ripple throughout the U.S. Economy.
There are policy proposals to limit interest on student loans, and to address problems with the private student loan industry, but the real solution is to END student loan debt by forgiving all student loans, and making public college education FREE like K-12 public education.  DSA is launching a Drop Student Debt Campaign (see below), there will be a conference all on the campaign May 23rd.
