"You cannot overstate $1.6 trillion in debt crushing close to 45 million borrowers. You cannot describe that as anything less than a crisis."

"The facts of this crisis, and again it is a crisis, require no exaggeration. We are past the point of just paying attention. It's time to act."

"I just want to say I'm very disturbed as we perpetuate the fiction that we live in a meritocracy."

"This debt is not just choking at our ability to build wealth or our purchasing power; it is quite literally choking people."
