Line of Reasoning

Reorder the following

• The report found that only about 63 percent of borrowers appeared to have avoided delinquency and default altogether.

• For the economy to thrive, young adults need ways to get an education without taking on ruinous debt. They need plentiful jobs that pay them enough to shoulder their debts.

• Outstanding student loan balances now stand at nearly $1.2 trillion, an increase of $77 billion in the past year. They are a drag on spending now and are likely to remain so for a long time to come.

• And when those jobs are not forthcoming — as has been the case for years now — they need relief and repayment plans, so that their problems today do not become lasting, economy-wide problems.

• Another sobering finding is that many student borrowers who are current today are likely to have had serious payment problems in the past. That suggests enduring credit problems.
