Can't our country do better for its students? Students are our nation's future, but are starting out with suffocating debt and facing dangerously high unemployment.
In 2011, student loan debt was an average of $26,600 per borrower, and unemployment for young college graduates remained at 8.8 percent, as reported by the Project on Student Debt.
The combined student debt in our country is about $1 trillion, and greater than all U.S. consumer credit card debt.
