<p>In this episode, we delve into the pressing issue of the student loan debt crisis, a topic that has sparked significant debate across political lines. Vance Crowe explores the historical context of student lending, tracing its evolution from private bank loans in the 1970s to the current state where the majority of loans are held by the government. This shift has led to skyrocketing education costs and a system where students are burdened with debt that is nearly impossible to discharge through bankruptcy. The host argues that the current system discourages entrepreneurship and family formation, and proposes solutions to address these systemic issues.The episode also touches on the cultural and corporate factors that have perpetuated the cycle of student debt, such as the role of HR departments in requiring degrees for employment to mitigate discrimination risks. The host suggests that removing bankruptcy protections for student loans and eliminating government involvement in lending could be viable solutions. Additionally, the episode briefly mentions the importance of legacy interviews, encouraging listeners to preserve their family histories through recorded interviews, especially with Mother's Day approaching.</p>
