Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : The New York Times is apparently finding it difficult to be honest with its readers about the burden of student loan debt.
58% : It ran a major column telling readers that the burden of student loan debt is discouraging young people from becoming priests or nuns.
57% : The whole premise of this column rests on a lie, that student debt should be a major burden to people interested in pursuing low-paying careers that might serve a higher purpose.
56% : Since tens of millions of people have student loan debt, the existence of a repayment option that minimizes their burden is likely to be a big deal for them in how they view the political parties.
54% : It is very likely that if Trump wins the election, he will end this income-driven repayment plan.
54% : Voters should know the implications for their student loan debt burden when they go to vote this fall.
49% : Back in January it had a lengthy piece on how student loan debt was making college a bad deal for many people that never once mentioned Biden's plan.
47% : This is not the first time the NYT has run a piece on student loan debt that completely ignored Biden's income-driven repayment plan.
