Soaring Student Debt Prompts Calls for Relief

Alexander Holt was quoted in the Wall Street Journal about congressional proposals to mitigate soaring student debt: 

The proposals in Congress are drawing critics from the left and the right.

Alexander Holt, a policy analyst for the left-leaning New America think tank, said the proposals would generally benefit workers with the biggest student-debt balances—white-collar workers who attended pricey colleges and graduate schools.

“This is just a growing group of highly active voters and people who donate, who are younger and engaged politically,” Mr. Holt said.
