About this episode

The federal government will forgive federal student loan debt – up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients, and up to $10,000 for others who qualify. We discuss what that means for borrowers, for the economy and how lawmakers are reacting to the president's announcement. This episode: political reporter Deepa Shivaram, education reporter Sequoia Carrillo, and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley.
