If you're a millennial, you know that student loan debt is a crippling, widespread issue—and while young people want to talk about it, the majority of older policymakers seem to be choosing to ignore it.

On this episode of The VICE Guide To Right Now Podcast, VICE's Harry Cheadle and Matt Taylor discuss Matt's recent article about the issue, exploring why legislators aren't talking nearly enough about the student loan debt crisis.You can catch The VICE Guide to Right Now Podcast on Acast, Google Play, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.
