Naomi Schaefer Riley, writing in the New York Post, reported this week on “Predator” student loans – how college debt is ruining lives. Here is an important snippet of her column:
Young people across America are putting off marriage and starting a family because they’re so weighed down by the collective $1 trillion in accumulated student debt. …
… student loans aren’t just altering our finances, they’re changing our whole social structure. They’re preventing us from pursuing the careers we want, from tying the knot, from having children when we want or as many children as we want.
This should worry liberals as much as conservatives: Whether you want young people to get married earlier and have large families or whether you want them to pursue careers as community organizers or other bleeding-heart low-paying jobs, you should care about the high cost of higher education and the ease with which students can take on such crippling debt.
