YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Obama signed an executive order Monday to make it easier for nearly 5 million Americans to pay off student loan debts. He also announced a plan to renegotiate contracts with lenders like Sallie Mae while urging Congress to take further action.

"At a time when higher education has never been more important, it's also never been more expensive," Obama said. "Over the last three decades, the average tuition at a public university has more than tripled. At the same the typical family's has gone up just 16-percent."
