The Broken Promise: How the $1.9 Trillion Student Debt Crisis is Derailing the American Dream
This in-depth investigation explores the $1.9 trillion U.S. student debt crisis, exposing how the promise of a college degree as a gateway to the American Dream has been shattered. It examines the staggering scale of the crisis, its disproportionate impact on marginalized groups, the predatory mechanics of interest accrual, and the broader economic and psychological toll on millions of borrowers. The article also proposes bold solutions, including debt forgiveness, loan reform, and reinvestment in public education, to restore higher education as a driver of opportunity rather than a financial trap. Through detailed analysis and compelling data, it reveals how systemic failures have turned the golden ticket of a degree into a lifelong burden for 45 million Americans.
