beginning another thing you like to do is place some military press around the country talking about. it and there must be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country i. believe is a responsibility for the hague. and we need to make claims for the rest. because without us there will be chaos. over the past decade a great many european asian and african countries have introduced or increase

1:46 am
students will never be collected at the moment that is at the top end of our estimates but it is not unrealistic ok so you don't quite know how you're going to fund it. 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 tranche of debt the terms of capone and the terms and conditions upon which it is sold are as it were set in stone that crystallized and the buyer of that debt buys them almost 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 cannot subsequently be changed by the new owner of the debt is that correct yes ok thank you.
1:47 am
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 shattered so many lives so many families two years ago thirty to forty percent of student loans remained on pay 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 being gauged in a dangerous game. in the us the bang university system became widespread nearly forty years ago. today the student debt has reached a catastrophic point. during

states to about one point three trillion and told all in there about forty million student debtors about eight million of those students are already in default 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. the 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
1:50 am
position and their financial survival in the future. but then movement tackles a huge market a for profit schools that have developed throughout the country in recent decades these schools do not target the elite of american students or the working classes poor families like you to believe in dreams.
1:51 am
this is. what the end of capital of kind of looks like or at least you know a different kind of. you know stayed in the capital with that sort of. was when everything we've been on all the jobs really 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 this 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
1:52 am
country in the world especially 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 a whole new category of people out there now. extremely 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 of the phone was hired 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 but now. so he basically asked me if i would be interested in coming out to
1:53 am
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 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
1:54 am
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 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 recent the forced drug ability should military active
