Black Wealth Could See 40% Boost if Biden Cancels Student Debt

For nearly two years now, people with student loans have been allowed to stop payments on their loans, without accruing interest.

According to a June report from the liberal think tank, the Roosevelt Institute, “erasing $50,000 in student loans per person would immediately increase Black wealth by 40%… Black borrowers in the bottom 10% of net worth would have around $5,000 more forgiven than their white counterparts.”

All this and more on “Prime.”
