Biden replied: “By the end of August.” It’s been several weeks since the last update from the administration regarding Biden’s campaign promise to cancel student loan debt.

Reports indicated the plan would likely include $10,000 in relief for federal borrowers and forgiveness would be limited to people who made less than $150,000 the year prior for single filers or less than $300,000 for couples who file jointly....

If passed, though the package has been cut significantly, it would still represent a historic investment in climate resiliency, education, healthcare, and immigration. At the same time, what has been cut from the plan — namely, paid leave and some other social spending programs — will leave American parents, who have been crushed by a pandemic and the crashing out of child care and who are alone among wealthy nations in not having access to a government-funded paid leave plan — in the dust....

Workers across the world, particularly in America, are working longer hours than ever without increased productivity.
