finding good paying jobs be able to afford, you know, to make a living and repay their debt. the president will make a big announcement at the white house to talk about this. >> right, the administration hopes by easing debt it spurs the economy. do you really see that happening? is it going to free that up money to get not economy as buying homes and other places? >> so many things the president is doing, he's going around the congress to do this with an executive orders, taking action where he can. congress is wrestling with their own. the senates and democrats have a bill, but unlikely that goes forward because of how you pay for it. sort of refinancing the debt, it'll cost the u.s. money. the u.s. government floated the loans to begin with. this is going to reach up to 5 million people, and the white house says, yes, this could make a small difference, especially with new people entering the job force arian recently entering the job force to afford making a living and pay for other things as well.
