During later service on my law dean’s advisory committee, I also recall this debate about then-higher student debt. Murphy, BethesdaGeorge F. Will misrepresented the facts about our proposal to cancel up to $50,000 in student debt. Mr. Will might be surprised to learn that student loan debt isn’t just a problem for college graduates: About 40 percent of the people with student loan debt do not have a college degree. Canceling student debt would significantly advance racial justice by immediately increasing Black and Latino wealth and disproportionately helping students of color. But God forbid Democrats want to help the nearly 43 million Americans drowning in an ever-rising ocean of student loan debt.
