TheVoiceOfJoyce The people the Care’s act left out. Those paying off student loans are being crushed by high interest rates. Why should the Government make a profit on these loans and never allow responsible citizens to get caught up. Forgive the interest and $25,000 in debt and negotiate the rest. The student debt conundrum has hurt credit scores and family members who have co-signed & contributed to the payout with their homes on the line. This is an unfair system and requires fundamental changes.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Are we getting closer to a Basic Living Wage. Many countries have used cash bailouts to help their people and maintain their economic growth.
