Not sure where to put this post, but I saw a book review in the WSJ, and thought it was relevant.
Titled, "Don't Call it a Crisis", it reviews several books on student debt. From the article:
...the highest default rate (34%) is not among those with huge debts, but among those who left school with less than $5,000 in debt?
That last fact is particularly important. Both books oppose politically popular proposals for debt forgiveness because they’d be much bigger handouts to better-off borrowers with big loans than to those with smaller loans who are truly struggling to make their payments.
