Looks like House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is going down to defeat again in the tenth vote we're continuing to monitor through the afternoon. If you're feeling optimistic about the new year, it might say something about your political party or perhaps about where you live. A new crosscut Elway poll reveals a regional and political divide on how people are feeling. And Tacoma firefighters responding to a blaze in an encampment near south 24th and a street this morning put out the fire and then discovered a dead person at the scene. Police investigating as the medical examiner works to find the cause of death. If one of your new year's resolutions is to get out of debt, ABC News chief business correspondent Rebecca Jarvis has some advice. There's really three things you need to know here about all of this. First of all, people are taking on more debt. You might have done it over the holidays overall, people are doing it on their credit cards. Second of all, that debt is getting more expensive. The fed signaled, they're not cutting rates this year. That means those APRs are rising and there are things you can do to take control right now, wipe the slate clean and have a much better financially free year ahead. Gather up all of those credit card bills, flip them over and call the number on the back. And here's why you're going to call that number because you can ask the bank and the credit card company to lower your APR. And that might sound like, wow, are they really going to do that? Well, 70% of the time, they actually do. And you can even ask them to knock off some of the fees as well. Then you want to make a payment plan. Now, there's really two tried and true methods here. First, there's the snowball method. That means you pay off the smallest balance credit card first. You keep making minimum payments elsewhere, but you pay off the smallest balance first. This gives you that psychological jolt. You feel good. Oh, one down, a few more to go. Then there's the avalanche method. That is where you pay off the highest interest rate credit card first. Again, keep making those minimum payments. That method, avalanche, is going to save you more money, but you have to stick to it if you're going to make it work. So sometimes the snowball method just gives you the better psychological boost. And then again, is chief business correspondent for ABC News, Rebecca Jarvis. With the Supreme Court sent to your arguments over president Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan next month, the Biden administration has filed a Britain defense of the plan, ABC's Mark remould reports. In court documents the Biden administration is seeking to knock down perhaps the most tenuous aspect of the challenges to the president's plan, the right for plaintiffs to sue in the first place. The court is hearing two challenges one from a number of Republican led states and a second by two individuals. The Biden administration's filing first challenges the standing of both lawsuits saying neither should be allowed to sue and then second arguing that the secretary of education has the right to cancel debt to protect borrowers from the economic consequences of the COVID pandemic.

The Washington state economic forecast council released its quarterly report today, northwest news radio's John Loeb takes a look behind the numbers. Global uncertainty remains the biggest wild card. Our forecast risks continue to be around the Russia Ukraine war. And supply chain delays, Steve lurch is executive director of the state economic and revenue council. This does not guarantee a recession, but it would certainly be one indicator of recession may be coming. Interest rates remain high, new home construction is down, home prices are stable, but gas prices. Based on the futures markets, they have peaked and are expecting sort of a gradual decline. The economy is actually adding jobs, but lurch notes, the layoffs at hiring slowdowns in high-tech. On the other hand, aerospace employment were up about 5700 jobs since the low point in August of 2021. The inflation forecast is a moving target, some suggest 2022 is the peak, others, not until 2024. Stay tuned. John lobert, northwest news radio.

"Radio 1000 FM 97 7. You're information station. Election day is less than three weeks away and president Joe Biden is looking for any positive he can find amid deep concern over the economy. Today, the president touted his student loan forgiveness plan. There are under a 125 grand. You get up to $10,000 knocked off the debt and if Fahrenheit a 125 grand and receive a pell grant, you get a 20,000 bucks knocked off. And his drawing comparisons with Republicans on the federal deficit. The Republican plan would add about $3 trillion to the deficit. $3 trillion. That's their plan. That's what they did under my predecessor, and that's what they intend to do again. Adding another $3 trillion of the deficit is reckless and irresponsible, and it would make inflation worse. Elizabeth Jose is covering it for ABC News and spoke with northwest news radio's Bill O'Neill. Elizabeth the president seemingly recognizes how the American people feel about his handling of the economy we saw that when he talked about gas prices earlier this week. Now he's making his case when it comes to reducing the federal deficit. That's exactly right. The president is touting a drop in the federal budget deficit as he's trying to shift this narrative around his handling of the economy. So today he came out and highlighted new data from the Treasury Department that showed that the deficit dropped by $1.4 trillion, which he says is the biggest decline on record in the 2022 fiscal year. Essentially trying to say, look, we are being fiscally responsible here and trying to actually attack Republicans who he says voted against his plans like the inflation reduction act, which do take the deficit into account. Of course, it's important to remember this is coming from an extremely high level of government spending, so that drop a lot of it is accounted for and just that a lot of that spending kind of expired, but this is absolutely right. The president's way of trying to show that he is taking on a stronger way of handling the economy and those inflation concerns too. Of course, the federal budget deficits always a concern for a lot of people, but is this the kind of issue that will really move the needle for voters who are worried about inflation in the greater economy as a whole? It's a great point because if you think about sure, the deficit drops, but we're still at a $1.4 trillion budget deficit. People who are worried about this are still going to see that number and probably have some concerns. And perhaps rightfully so, that's one of the higher numbers that we've seen in history. A lot of economists I talked to say, look, it's right that deficit drops, but we're still about 40% higher in a deficit than we were before the pandemic. So if this is something you're thinking about when you go to the polls and voting on, not sure that this number is going to be enough to move the needle for you. Certainly the question that The White House is facing and one of the narratives that Democrats are having a hard time fighting back against is the fact that they did pass an additional nearly $2 trillion in spending in 2021. A lot of concerns about how that led to the inflation that we are seeing right now. And that's something that they are trying to push back against, but so far, Republicans really dominating that narrative. Amid all of this, the president has gone as far as to predict his party will recapture momentum among voters before election day. He absolutely is doing whatever he can. You know, notably his hasn't kind of taken the same campaigning approach as former president Trump took with those big rallies or even former president Obama did for that matter. President instead taking a speaking from The White House, trying to talk about the economy, as you know, the gas prices this week today was the deficit right now the earlier also the president is speaking about student loan debt. So trying to capitalize on the legislation that he has passed in the actions that his administration has taken both in executive actions and in Congress while trying to kind of give the democratic candidates some leeway who maybe don't want to associate with him who want to focus on their own races and the issues at home not kind of pushing to be seen with them if you think that they might be alive. If he thinks he might be a liability because of some of his approval ratings, especially around the economy. ABC's Elizabeth schultzy with a son the northwest news line.

To Test Coronavirus Vaccines, UK Study Will Intentionally Infect Volunteers
"The British government is announcing it will back what is known as a challenge trialled intentionally exposing volunteers to the virus. ABC is Mark Hamill are joining us on the coma news line with the controversial approach to test the effectiveness of vaccine candidates. Tell us more about this mark. So exactly as you said, it's a trial where volunteers and they say they're only taking people 18 to 30. He who have a record of being healthy people where they're going to get a vaccine. They have not said which candidates or vaccine will be a part of this, but they'll get a vaccine and they'll be deliberately exposed to cope in 19 and quarantined in a London hospital. While they're essentially monitored by these researchers and doctors very closely to see how the vaccine and the disease progresses and to see how effective these vaccines are, and so Wow. It is a very controversial type of study because particularly in this case, some have likened it to giving someone a poison without an antidote, because if you develop a severe case of covert 19 There's not a whole lot of treatments and well proven in documented treatment at our disposal. Unlike perhaps if you test somebody this way on another disease, where we have a long history of treatments available, so there is some concern in that respect, but on the other side of this benefit Is that you can start to flush out with which vaccines are effective very quickly because you could start to monitor them right then and there. Plus, there's no need to worry about community spread because You know, typically in a criminal clinical trial, you give 30,000 people. Half of them had the vaccine half have a placebo, and you let them go about their lives, and you wait to see which ones developed over 19. Which ones don't and you start to measure the effectiveness of a vaccine that way this way, You're monitoring it right there, So there are some benefits in terms of the time and that's part of the reason that the government I decided to back this, but it's a controversial decision on the way. Some doctors say This is very helpful when there's very little disease in the community. But in this case, there's a lot of disease in the community. Yeah, that's right. Part of the benefit of this is is in general. You don't have to worry about that community spread exactly. We're talking about where in a clinical trial, you know you've got to send people out into there into the world, and they just Have to go about their lives, and you'll know that some people got it. And some don't and so to do that. So you have to know that there is community spread are particularly in this case with Kobe have to know that you know you're not sending 30,000 people out there and none of them ever came across. The disease. So in this case, obviously with Coleman in most areas in the US, the UK and Europe In a lot of cases that's not concerned with covert 19, but typically with challenge trials. That is one of the benefits If you could do a study anytime, anywhere, you don't have to worry about it. So that doesn't seem to be as much of an overriding factor in in the desire to do that, in this case because of the spread of Copan 19, But but one of the benefits is the faster results essentially in the data. Plus, I think one of the other things that the organizers of the study of said, is that not only can you squashed the time that it takes to figure out how effective the vaccine is, but you can also monitor how the body responds to covert 19 from They want versus somebody goes down. The world gets eventually get sick and maybe they see a doctor eventually, Maybe they don't You know so this because you're directly exposing somebody. You can watch them from day one. How the body reacts having these moves in the body all of these things, and so it's not just necessarily looking at the vaccine, but also can help the understanding of the virus. Itself again. Not without it concerns, though, because there's certainly a risk in this in terms of your willingly taking a dose of 19, and that's why they need to watch them so closely to minimize those risks. A veces Mark Remillard. Thank you, Mark. Thank you.
