Class of 2024 college loans near half

Nick Gillespie notes that just 47 percent of the Class of 2024 took out college loans, with the average loan amount at about $30,000.

Gillespie suggests that these figures do not support labeling student debt as a 'crisis,' challenging common narratives about higher education borrowing in the U.S.

Gillespie’s earlier commentary has focused on alternative policy approaches. In a previous column, he called for a tax model that targets consumption rather than income or wealth. He argued that such a structure ensures each dollar is taxed once for fairness.
