Bill Clinton plugged President Obama’s jobs plan on Friday during a speech at Georgetown University, Politico reports.

“I like the jobs plan, I think it would help,” Clinton said. “I like the student loan plan which is a national system which we made option the direct loan program.”

Clinton went on to warn that it would be impossible to fix the economy without first solving the housing crisis, which he said would require “politically controversial” decisions.

“But the problem is, everybody’s been hurt by this now. Everybody,” Clinton concluded.
