The level of student loan debt has risen to $1.5 trillion and defaults are 40% and rising. Underneath the crisis are rising tuition costs, a predatory student loan industry and an absence of consumer protections for students.

Nothing short of a student debt jubilee will end the crisis. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.
