kevin kerry of the new america foundation and ann johnson of the center for american progress. let's start at the beginning. how is it that these rates got so low in the first place because they were higher and then they were cut. >> yes. there's a couple different loan programs that the federal government has. the stafford loan program has two kinds of loans. a subsidized loan for low and moderate income families and an unsubsidized loan basically for everyone else. the subsidized loan has been at 3.4% for the last few years. last year it was set to double. student advocates and organizers were able to keep that rate low but this year, today, the rates are set to double again. there will be about 7.5 million students who will see their interest rates double. >> ifill: most people think about interest rates going up slowly. how does it double? how did that happen? >> this all goes back to the last time congress set the interest rates for federal student loans. the interest rate currently isn't based on anything other than whatever congress wants it to be. back around 2006 they

johnson all the parents, teacher, principals who came out to celebrate our kids. congratulations, everyone. please stay and join us for refreshments and congratulating our graduates. >> good morning. my name is ann crone enberg, i'm director of emergency management here in the city of san francisco. i'm here dem, our role is really to prepare for large disasters, the disasters that happen every day, too. i'm very excited today to present a new idea that the sharing community in san francisco has come up to partner with us in preparing for disasters and in responding to and recovering quickly. last month we had a very good drill mimicking a 7.8 earthquake. we fed 6,000 people in the tenderloin with no electricity. we had set up a shelter up at st. mark's. it was just an incredible day. and that's what working with our community partners with the faith-based community and with the sharing community. ~ so, when mayor lee came to us about six months ago with this idea to partner with the sharing community, we were very excited and we said yes. we had our first meeting, first of many figuring out how we can build a platform together to make it very simple for our residents in san francisco to be able
