Comment on It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 days agoShe needs to keep a home in both DC and NYC, two of the most expensive cities for housing. That will eat up a LOT of income. She also has student loans to pay.
She has a relatively high paying job, and this is as far as she’s gotten. Imagine the average college graduate, who is probably making far less that $100k annually.
Student loans are crushing our economy, and thousands more students graduate every year with the same millstone around their necks, and our children economy. It is a National Security Threat that will only grow worse with time. Student loan debt makes EVERYONE susceptible to bribes, espionage, and corruption.
