joining the conversation all morning is todd pyro, mark tepper and james freeman. your reaction to this sun et -ling surveillance -- un-celt -ling survey. >> so much is because of how expensive college is. you come out of college with an absolutely useless degree and debt that is so much higher than previous generations because tuition has not tracked inflation. it has been way higher than it. so if you're starting out behind the 8 ball, what chance do you have of getting that start? this cripples your start right off the bat and so what does the biden administration want to do? put more money in the system ask raise the cost of college and perpetuate the cost of college and makes no sense. maria: and deciding whose student debt they're going to forgive and not forgive, mark. >> yeah, for the bottom 90% of americans, credit card debt is at an all time high and you mentioned home ownership being a challenging, can tell you specifically in cleveland for first-time home buyers, had has been almost impossible for them to purchase a home because you pretty much have to
