college investment. affordability is about access, value of a degree and the risk associated with the investment. i say with great confidence that college is a risk worth taking for the vast majority of individuals and is worth the considerable public investment that we make in trying to ensure that a a quality education is affordable for anyone who wants it. but the price of college has outpaced inflation over the past several decades, making college less affordable. the significant debt deters students from ever enrolling. higher debt loads and the fact that we have a complicated repayment system that does nothing to automatically place distressed borrowers into income driven repayment plans has increased risk particularly for students who do not complete a degree. at public institutions state divestment is responsible for roughly 30% of increases since the year 2000 and 41% increases since 2007. the returns to very high levels of education in the private sector have increased dramatically over time. in my field of economics, the combination of modern computing technology have caused private sec

the general secretary of the association of school and college leaders, geoff barton, said that sendingn children i have seen children badly affected, brain damage, encephalitis, meningitis. people tend to think about these conditions as a bit like chickenpox but it‘s not, it‘s much worse. it‘s really important to understand that. you can understand why people also get anxious about immunisations. the truth is, it is important to allow people access to the right information and to come to a judgment. it‘s actually really important for people to understand a concept called herd immunity. measles is a good example. for every case of measles, 90 people contracted measles from that one case. you spread that without any symptoms. you don‘t actually develop any symptoms of measles and for three days you are spreading the disease. it is highly contagious. what happens if you vaccinate, if you get 95% of the population vaccinated, you protect the population. as an example, newborn babies are really vulnerable to these conditions because they can‘t have the mmr. if you do not vaccinate your chil

have also now been sending out what they call target letters to people associated with the college admissions scandal including some ofuate -- graduates what is that intended to do? >> well it's designed to scare up some more guilty pleas and possibly lead to more indictments. it's a very dicey situation with the children. obviously if they are actually children under 18 i think it's unlikely that the government will move -- will diindict them. however many of the kids applying were 18 or older. and in much less toney parts of the united states, 16, 17, 18-year-olds are indicted and incarcerated all the time. so i don't think there is any automatic immunity for these kids if they knew the that they were engaging in fraud. felicity huffman said her daughter was not aware. that's a key factor whether the kids knew. >> we'll watch in story unfold. it's dramatic indeed. jeffrey toobin thank you very much and to our viewers thank you for watching. you can follow me instagram and twirt at wolf blitzer. erin burnett outfront starts now >> outfront next be afraid. that's the inside the white house as the mueller report is abo
