Either Bernie is getting waaaayyyyy ahead of himself here, or this country is more fucked than I thought.

If there are senior citizens today that are still carrying student loan debt, that means that these are loans dating back to the 1980s.

I don't even understand how that's possible short of homelessness or serious disability.
