Idealistic effort by a young senator from illinois who we were both right to believe would achieve greatness. I have had the opportunity to serve in your distinguished cabinet and worked with a white house chief of Staff White House staff ably led by denis mcdonough.

Im going to resist the temptation to come to new and minimumwage debate. [laughter] please do. Im happy to have one offline after we are done but just to be responsive to the question about millennials, you know i think one very concrete tangible reality that many people in your age cohort are facing in student debt and i think we are ripe as a country for a cross party cross ideological conversation about how to reform our student debt system and its not simply a matter of using the terms of debt. Its also thinking about to what extent has the presence and expansion of loans contributed to the escalation of the cost of college. We have to have an honest crosscutting look at this but its got to be one that is led actually by those of you in the millennial generation whose citizens are experiencing the pain and i think if you can get an issue like that would be a tangible way to get started in the country.
