"Congress must pass the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) in order to prevent a cataclysmic default that would disproportionately harm Black communities. At the same time, it is critical that Congress reject specific provisions before final passage. The FRA would end the student loan payment pause, which provides a vital economic stimulus to millions of students. Black women bear the highest comparative levels of student debt relief because they invest in education at a significant cost. They also pay taxes. To argue, therefore, that the current student debt relief is a giveaway from taxpayers is to use a racist talking point.
