"This issue is sidelining millions of Americans. People are putting off marriage, kids, homeownership and retirement — especially my generation," the 33-year-old comedian and talk show host told the House Financial Services Committee.. He went on to say that he surveyed his audience of about 200 people on Capitol Hill and discovered that they owed more than $6 million in student loans combined.
"We’ve put up a paywall to the middle class. That’s why we put our entire show for free on YouTube. Because we care about the viewers," he continued, before joking, “Also, because you can’t find anything on Netflix."
