10:47 pm
well the longer term issue of lifting the cap the treasury announcement related in the first instance to potential sales from the future loan book the plan would be to sell transfers of the loads as a man you sell a particular trunk ship that the terms of capone and the terms and conditions upon which it is sold are as it were set in stone and the crystallized and the buyer of that debt buys them on those terms and that's it they don't change can we just be clear can we just be clear that the person buying the debt buys it on set terms and conditions that then come out subsequently be changed by the new owner of the debt is that correct yes ok thank you. here in the u.k. the prospect of cutting the debt tranche is and selling it to private investors instantly brings to mind the disastrous mechanism of subprime loans that are
10:48 pm
shattered so many lives so many families two years ago thirty to forty percent of student loans remained on paper today it's reached forty five percent we're close to the tipping point at forty seven percent of non collected debt the university system and its nine thousand pounds yearly tuition fee will cost more to the english state than it did at the time of the three thousand jelly tuition. england seems to be engaged in a dangerous game. in the u.s. the paying university system became widespread nearly forty years ago. today the student debt has reached a catastrophic point. during

10:50 pm
meaning they're not paying out loans people can't imagine social goods or public goods in the united states it's unimaginable that you could have free education so there is a kind of normalizing of a of a i like to say kind of economic violence that people are used to and they just expect that that's the way that is and that's the way it always will be the right to education has been supplanted by the right to access education loans. they imposition of that has had the overall impact of stifling optional political imagination of students because they're so highly and and they have to think about their future in very particular ways that are tied to their financial position and their financial survival in the future. and then movement tackles a huge market
10:51 pm
10:52 pm
a different kind of. stayed in the capital with that sort of. was when everything we've done all the all the jobs you know people are going to force to work together again. amy and christine are two young women from the detroit area who grew up in working families and who continue role in the country's high profile universities they still believed in the prospect of a better life like hundreds of other young americans they put their fate in the hands of private for profit educate. no institutions the sector has grown by two hundred twenty five percent over the past ten years. america should be ashamed to even say that their education system is this way when we're supposed to be the best country in the world is going to be the richest country in the world but you know we are the richest country in the world for the rich but we're also the poorest country in the world for the poor in a way. before god knows. i'm extremely bored there's
10:53 pm
a whole new category of people there are. extreme lean more rewarded. for is almost the new rich. and sad. when i was watching the television and seen that they could make my life better if i went to their school. soon as he has or the phone was higher how are you this is my name's terry winters i'm you know i'll be the one to answer any questions you have. so he basically asked me if i would be interested in coming out to the school and looking at the campus and seeing what programs i had to offer said that he was a graduate there that i should come check out the school when he walks through the
10:54 pm
school they have different things on the walls of jobs i could qualify for with the degree but they're not actually telling you the full details of everything and that they don't tell you that there's an arbitration clause that you can't sue the school whether individually or through a class action suit don't really know that you're getting into a predatory lending type of situation because they don't educate you to that they gloss over the financial aid it's very quick and you just initial and then you sign at the bottom. and then it was oddly he just asked you know i have a couple graduates that would like to come in and speak with you and you have an issue talking to some recent graduates and in my mind i'm thinking that's kind of cool you know i can actually talk to some people that went to the school you know see what they say about the school so young female and young male came in and for all i know it could have been the recruiters working with this recruiter. he
10:55 pm
came and they both came in and said that you know they found a job before they ever graduated the school placed them and that they're doing really well and they're not struggling paying their student loan baton life is just so much better now they have so many opportunities they can jump job a job they want a lot of these student advisers at these schools used to use on students to get them into an education. and this in document from a for profit college if i can find that shows all the people that were. going after welfare moms with kids relocation recent high school graduates career change of grades goes college freshman dropout physically mentally abused pregnant ladies recent incarceration rescind the forced drug ability military active every tired dennet no future steam college credits two years low income

10:57 pm
a scam. i have a hundred four thousand dollars in student loans as of september two thousand and thirteen and there are only growing by the day. how long will it take before public european universities start charging twenty thirty or forty thousand dollars a year how long will it take for a lucrative private educational system to skid out of control like it is today in the u.s. everywhere around the world students are mobilizing can anyone out there hear them can anyone understand them they question our society our political choices what kind of world we want to live in a world where the economy is at the service of man. or a world in which man is at the service of the economy.
