Most of the corporations now are avoiding paying their pension fund debts and their health care debts.”
Michael Hudson
“We've seen a sea change, a real shift over the past generation from a system where less than half of students left with debt and now two-thirds leave with debt. Now, it's become the norm to leave with debt -- and often with a lot of debt.”
