betsy devos: yeah. and with regard to partnering with higher education for charter schools, i think that is a great idea to explore and would certainly encourage communities to look at that and explore that option. i would also encourage exploration of providing virtual learning for classes that they can't necessarily hire a teacher for. different options, and certainly with technology, that affords us a lot wider band of options and would look forward to talking with you about how that might work. sen. shelby: thank you. i'm going to shift to technical education. you know, we have a lot of people going to the universities. constituency my constituents , generally tell me one of the needs in america is a skilled workforce. a lot of the people aren't going to college, but they need the skills for the marketplace. both president trump and you have stated strong support for career and technical education programs. however, this is troubling in the fiscal year budget proposal, 2018 there are large cuts prop

they were handing these things out like candy and now they are watching betsy devos.ompletely and totally belinda i've got to say as the millennial on this panel most of us young people we definitely have student loans. the truth of the matter is when you think about people like elizabeth warren who launched a resistance group to betsy devos for consideration i believe is to get the young people to rally when she runs for president in 2020. i know she thinks that she won't but i believe she will. she is looking to bolster her candidacy on an issue like this. totally disenfranchises the process that betsy devos is just getting in their eliminating some of these regulations that are surrounding student loans and the protection that were in place simply because some of the unscrupulous practices that were there but not anymore. >> here's the thing, we talk about a potential ticking timebomb the first quarter this year the 90-day delinquent if student loans at 11%. betsy devos may have to take some kind of critical action and there are day setting the stage. >> actually t

one of our board members is betsy devos, the education secretary. that never would have happened under obama. we did things with the obama administration, we had good relationships with them as well, but the relationship will be different. we have a responsibility to look for cases no matter who is controlling the white house or congress to lift people up and make them better. we do not change the work we do, we just look for the opportunities on the table. that changes according to the politicalw winds. one of the things we are doing now is, we have a new project called the human dignity project. the basis of that is looking landscape, itical is clear we have a despair-based political movement. whether you are talking about the unbelievable popularity of bernie sanders or donald trump. when you look across the united white, and you see, men, without a college education, 320% increase in drug overdose deaths. a 70 -- 78% increase in suicide. that is an economy of despair. we are putting together entire new programs. it is a social entrepreneurship.

this characterization -- configuration of characters in the trump administration -- pence, bannon, betsy devoseve mnuchin, all these goldman sachs alum who are in the cabinet -- how they would respond to a large-scale crisis that they themselves are not creating. i mean, the chaos is chaos they're generating themselves, either deliberately or out of incompetence and avarice, but what happens if there's a 2008-like financial crisis? what happens, you know, heaven forbid, if there is a manchester-like attack in the united states? the actions of this administration make these types of shocks more likely, not less, right? they're deregulating the banks, creating the conditions for another crash. they are antagonizing the world, particularly the muslim world. you know, isis apparently called trump's muslim travel ban a "blessed ban," because it was so good for recruitment. they are -- you know, they are making climate disasters more likely with everything they're doing to deregulate industry, deregulate for polluters. you know, there's a lag time between that and when the climate shocks hit, but th
