The writer provides three reasons for this problem. The accompanying cartoon highlights one of those: some older people have trouble paying off their own student loans because they have incurred new debt by financing their children's education with another loan. ]]> 2017-01-19 17:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/websterma/191a1n1e9gts/wish/148164315 Maggie source #2 websterma https://padlet.com/websterma/191a1n1e9gts/wish/148169854 Source Citation

With rising tuition costs and a glut of people with college degrees, graduates have trouble finding jobs that pay enough to cover their student debt. She concludes with an even more radical view: she urges everyone to stop paying off all debts, even for mortgages and medical expenses so that those in power will get the message and change the system. ]]> 2017-01-19 17:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/websterma/191a1n1e9gts/wish/148170058 Maggie's image websterma https://padlet.com/websterma/191a1n1e9gts/wish/148233132
