Student Loan Debt Crisis

Bill and Anastasia cover a listener requested topic regarding the student loan debt crisis in the U.S. They tackle this issue through the lens of financial advisors looking at it on a macroeconomic scale--addressing how student loans grew into a crisis, the contributing factors, consequences, potential solutions, and what they think consumers should know. Bill and Anastasia debate the policy suggestion of forgiving student loans - is the immediate relief worth it and/or will it address the underlying issues which caused the crisis? Anastasia describes the problems with the public service loan forgiveness program and whether it's worth trying to get loans forgiven.
