The College Worker's Bill of Rights
Everyone, lets get real. When we depend on a paycheck to live, we are working class, no matter what our income level. The promise of adequate income for ourselves and/or our children after college, diminishes under the weight of Sisyphean student-loan debt. Congress needs to support college financing of America's working class by providing no-interest loans, and adequate grants so they can train for today's jobs alongside the wealthy.
Why is this important?
Today's college student-loan debt is like that of Sisyphus and his boulder. Graduates can't advance without relief, and therefore require both no-interest loans and adequate grants to fund the higher education of America's working-class. In America, it is wrong when college is beneficial for the upper-class and burdensome for the working class.
