So: That debate last night, huh? The New York Times has the entire video of the debate broken down with fact checks here, which is pretty nice.

Whenever someone writes a new, big feature on student loan debt, I'm all over it. The cost of going to college is getting out of control, and having an on-going discussion about how to fix it is a good thing.

Even though data from the Federal Reserve shows that Americans are carrying less credit card debt, it also shows that we're worth 40 percent less than we used to, and that more families are taking out loans to pay for college, "leaving the median level of family debt unchanged."
