2:29 pm
. it's not only just the debt cancellation, which will wipe the slate clean for millions of people. it's also the fact the president extended a pause on student loan payments throughout the end of this year. that means there's millions of others who can save an extra 100 dollars each month. people tell us and the research shows they've been unable to purchase homes, they've been unable to start small businesses. you know, absolutely dead. rocks of the economy had been hampered because of student loan debt. this debt disproportionately impacts black and brown borrowers. it's needed so that intergenerational wealth cannot be created among the black and brown families. and it's exacerbated so many of the racial equities that this administration has promised to fix debt cancellation gets to the heart of that problem as well. china's most intense hate wave in decades is drawing up rivers and now it's biggest fresh water lake is shrinking. employee ang lake is vital for crops and major rice producing provinces. priyanka go up to explains po,
