Sarah Jaffe, AlterNet, joins Thom Hartmann. For the first time ever - outstanding student loan debt this year will top one trillion dollars. And with tuition for college soaring - and prospects for jobs after college plummeting - the situation for students across America looks grim. But now - with the Occupy Wall Street movement in full swing - student debtors are feeling empowered - and are striking back against the big banks that got bailed out three years ago but are unwilling to help their debt-saddled customers now.

2. We bailed out the banks when we need to bail out average citizens.

Education should be free at all state ran schools and damn near free at private institutions. Forgiving all student loan debt would be cheaper than the bailouts that we gave to those criminals bankers.
