Stay Tuned with Preet

In Brief: The Student Debt Crisis (with Blake Zeff)

Listen Later

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to rule on the constitutionality of President Biden’s student debt relief program, Preet speaks with Blake Zeff, a journalist and former political staffer who has made a film about the student debt crisis. Zeff’s film, “Loan Wolves,” traces the origins of the crisis to a little-known provision in a 1998 law.
