The AOC’s of Student Loan Debt
And with a record number of open jobs and a dearth of willing job candidates, more companies are hiring young people without college degrees.
This decreasing demand has forced colleges to suddenly begin cutting their “sticker prices,” according to Forbes.
So if more young people are becoming more sensible about taking on massive debt, would it be too much to ask our lawmakers to come to their senses, too?
Their well-meaning but wrong-headed student-lending policies have helped to create a massive $1.7 trillion debt bubble.
Demanding that the rest of us pay off the college debts that millions of others so willingly took on is not just ridiculous, it’s patently unfair.
Case in point: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes $174,000 a year.
Rather than force taxpayers to pay off her $17,000 college loan, maybe she should trade in her Tesla for a used Hyundai.
