00:01
Leader Jeffries.
00:02
I'll say it wrong, sorry.
00:03
Thank you, Mr. Leader.
00:04
You focused a lot on the affordability crisis in your opening remarks.
00:08
Next Friday, the pause on student loan interest is set to expire.
00:14
What's your message to Americans out there who are already struggling with, as you said,
00:18
housing costs, groceries, utility, high utility costs?
00:21
What's your message to borrowers out there who are just terrified of what their pocketbook
00:26
will look like now that this pause is ending?
00:28
Trump administration should reverse its policy, which represents an assault on students,
00:34
just like we've seen the Trump administration assault veterans, assault homeowners,
00:40
assault everyday Americans, assault farmers, assault small business owners and entrepreneurs
00:48
and others.
00:49
Nothing is being done in terms of the Trump administration and House Republican policy
00:55
to actually make life more affordable for the American people.
01:00
These policies actually will hurt everyday Americans on issue after issue after issue,
01:07
notwithstanding the fact that Republicans spent all of 2024 promising to lower the high cost of living.
01:15
In fact, Donald Trump said that costs would go down in America on day one.
01:21
He said that.
01:23
And yet we've not seen a single thing done to meaningfully keep that promise.
01:32
No executive actions, no administrative orders, no legislation designed to meaningfully make life more affordable
01:43
for the American people.
01:46
And so as it relates to this student loan policy, it's just yet another example of the Trump administration
01:55
not giving a damn about the high cost of living in the United States of America
02:03
and in fact consistently doing the exact opposite as it relates to providing relief.
