They had a guy in the article that owes 200k in student loans!

Everything else can be argued when it comes to growth/wages, but by far the single most crippling issue we have in the US is massive debt to survive, and once you're in debt, you often never get out.

We had a term for this in the middle-ages.

History repeats over and over.
