Time to talk student loan forgiveness and inflation

Student loan relief is here. But (and this is so awkward), so is inflation, still. One of our listeners wants to know whether the government’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt will make inflation worse. Plus, we’ll take your questions on electric cars, credit scores and LeVar Burton! Here’s everything we talked about today: “Will student loan forgiveness make inflation worse?” from Vox “Without a Gas Tax, How Will EVs Be Charged for Road Use?” from Consumer Reports “The secret history of ‘Y’all’: The murky origins of a legendary Southern slang word” from Salon The “Make Me Smart” episode on our credit rating system “The Score” from “Marketplace Tech” “The new tech behind LeVar Burton’s crusade for child literacy” from “Marketplace Tech” If you’ve got a question you’d like us to find the answer to, email us at [email protected] or leave a voice message at 508-U-B-SMART.
