We Do Have 'Hunger Games' in America: College Loans -- Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren Plan to Stop It

These Senators want to end the debt nightmare.

This comes at a time when we need an educated population.

Last year, student debt surpassed credit card debt and auto loans, hitting a total of $1.1 trillion.
This is a marked change from how college used to be in this country. As Pew notes, the “annual borrowing per full-time equivalent student nearly tripled from $2,485 in 1990-91 to $6,928 in 2012-13.” In the 1990-'91 school year, students borrowed $24 billion; from 2012 to 2013, they borrowed $110 billion.
