That much doesn't hang over upper-middle-class white people. It hangs over my barber's daughter, who puts in two quarters towards a dental assistant gig but then she has to help take care of grandma. It hangs over my old laundry guy who co-signed for his nephew to go to ITT Tech. It hangs over people who were never going to get a bachelor's in anything but the late night commercials convinced them that a bold new future awaited them on the off-world colonies. I've mixed a stupid amount of reality TV. I've watched a stupid number of ordinary people scheme about what they'd do with their meager winnings. "Get out of debt" is far and away their biggest desire.
