Welcome to Episode 34! There's so much news swirling but we decided a full hour on the Student Loan Debt Crisis was needed following Biden's recent moves.
Both of us bring different perspectives on this issue, including TB's personal student loan experience, SB's finance background, and of course what you know and love: deep, thoughtful looks at the core issues of the country and possible solutions to solve them.
So come along for the ride on our second Societal Deep Dive, and reach out to us on Twitter @TheWokeAntidote to share your perspective!
Topics covered include: College is a wealth transfer from the middle class to the elite; Woke admins and hedge fund managers are the real beneficiaries of student debt relief; This forgiveness will only encourage more borrowing in the future; Why is college so expensive in the first place; Student loans vs mortgages and how predatory student lending is like debt-fueled Private Equity leveraged buyouts; What we recommend for how to solve the issue rather than the band-aid that is short-term relief.
