Canceling $50,000 in student debt would help Americans whose 'only sin was to be born into a family who couldn't write a check for them to go to school,' Elizabeth Warren says

Sen. Elizabeth Warren told MSNBC Biden should cancel student debt to help millions of Americans.

Calls like Warren's have increased over recent months as payments are set to resume on May 1.

The White House chief of staff and the Education Department have hinted more relief may come by May.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has said it once, and she'll say it again: President Joe Biden can and should cancel student debt.

Student-loan payments have been paused, with interest waived, for two years as part of pandemic relief.

Warren has previously sounded the alarm on the effect failure to cancel student debt would have on elections, and she's not the only Democrat to do so. »

The Return of Pax Americana?

Authored by foreignaffairs.com

The policies that won the Cold War and thereby made the modern liberal international order were products of an unexpected hot war.

Now considered one of the most successful strategies in U.S. diplomatic history, containment was on the verge of failure before the Korean War broke out.
