these negotiations must succeed and the reason why it must succeed is because as mario gallegos said a couple of months ago for the euro project to succeed anywhere it must succeed everywhere. greece insists on being part of it everywhere. greece believes that a new government that the greek people have elected is offering our partners, despite a significant clinical differences, a chance for pluralism and democracy to prevail within the monetary union that knows how to acknowledge errors and do what the united states has done the such great success in the 19th and 20th centuries. and what is back? create consolidation out of the crisis. in europe we like to think that we have achieved it that we have learned a lesson, that we have consolidated that we have created new institutions which are allowing our monetary union to evolve and to develop the mechanisms that we lacked by which to counter a major earthquake shock like that of 2008. i do not believe we have done that. i believe in many ways we have proclaimed the name that which we have denied in practice. for instance the proper

congressman gallego, when he looked at that number, he had gone to harvard. harvard is the berkley of the east. congressman gallego looked at that number and he said, that's about what i paid when i graduated from harvard in the early 2000's. $33,000 a year. treat education as a public good. keep interest rates as low as possible. the consensus among people that met with us, these current students and entrepreneurs was the government should make no money on interest rates on loans that it gives to students. what about the 41 million young americans who have the $1.3 trillion in debt? well, there was a general consensus that those debt holders should be able to refinance their student loans. you can refinance an auto loan. you can refinance your home loan. but for the 86% of loans that are federal loans, of those 41 million americans, you can't refinance them. congressman joe courtney, a colleague of mine from connecticut, he has a bill that would allow just that. and our future forum members are on that bill and we're hoping that it gets a vote in this congre

gallego: mr. speaker, a college education should be accessible to all americans. currently, 40 million americans have student loans with an average balance of $29,000. this impacts our entire economy as it prevents young people from buying homes, starting a family, and even buying a car. mr. speaker, we provide an education for all students because we recognize advantages for our children and society to have a good education. but a high school education is no longer enough if you want to get a good-paying job. college education is necessary and essential in today's society in order to move ahead. it's an essential step to getting a good-paying job and joining the middle class. mr. speaker, we are stacking the deck against our young people. the cost of higher education is through the roof and student loans are weighing on our youth and one of the most vull -- at one of the most vulnerable points in their lives. mr. speaker, our parents and grandparents didn't have to take on this level of debt just to get an education. it is our responsibility to ensure that future
