foundation, the hundreds of millions they spend to educate people to think about free-market slogans, the mellon'sgave the hundreds of millions that he spent at most recently the code brothers have been spending hundreds of millions of dollars to promote the slogans, these libertarians slogans that sort of stopped stop the conversation in its tracks. the media have been oddly compliant in this. i think when people make these statements, it's the media's job to say wait a minute that doesn't make any sense. do you want to go to somalia? do you want to go to haiti? do you want to go to a country that does not have the power to tax? know we would want to live in a country like that so it think we do need to start calling people out who say these things. i am doing my best on the to her and other conversations to reach out to the thoughtful libertarian friends. in my own conceit i call myself a libertarian. they all off but in the sense that i really don't like somebody telling me what to do. i feel like i am a kindred spirit at the very least. i took a lower salary as an academic just because so few

that's according to a carnegie mellon university report.e targets because often this goes undetected for a long time. there's no track record like their credit card or job applications or government benefits. so when they do go possibly to apply for a student loan, they might get denied having racked up debt they didn't even know about because there was no record of them for them to check. >> when it comes to kids, adults, what's the best way to be proactive and to prevent this? >> yeah, first thing is open communication. talk to your kids about sharing any kind of personal information when they're online or particularly on their cell phones and even in text messages. also, watch for mail in their name. they shouldn't be getting credit card applications, right? so if you begin getting pre-approved credit cards in their name or other offers, they may, although it's not a guarantee, they may have an open credit file, and certainly children shouldn't have that. check with the credit open credd certainly children shouldn't have that. check with
