AOC questions why student loans aren’t paid for after Fed injects $1.5 trillion

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants people in student debt to get the same assistance the short-term debt markets received to prevent economic ruin after one of the market’s worst days on record.

On Thursday, coronavirus fears sent markets into free fall, leading to the worst day in the stock market since 1987. In response to the dip, the Federal Reserve announced that it would be injecting more around $1.5 trillion in the market to help smooth short-term funding markets.
