. >> patricia, when we look at the way markets work, there was an idea. i heard it a lot, that this would hit the wall, that families would say sorry, we are not spending that kipd of money. it didn't happen, is college more like buying a luxury car than it is between choosing between two different detergents. >> college is a ticket to the middle class. all the studies show if you go to college and earn a degree, you make more than a high school graduate. that's why people pay to play, if you will. huge student loan debt burdens are having a knock-on effect on to the economy, and one of the ways i like to describe it is you have to think of the economy as an eco system, and young people are in that system. when we crush them with debt, we deny them the choice of participating in the economy in a meaningful way, and by that i mean consumer sentiment. for example, homes. for every home construction job, that creates three to four jobs for people sharing goods in that home. so you can see how all along the food chain that student debt is having an impact not

. >> we heard patricia vines, an elected official - patricia, do you describe this as a larger show of farce than you had seen the past couple of nights? >> this, yes, yes. it's - yes. i did see the tear gas occurring last night. but i think this was - this continues to escalate. i saw the first as well. this seems to be a whole lot more. i don't know if they are using different techniques. they used a sound, to try to irritate you. this is the first time i hseen them trying to use that. they put it on, it didn't seem to work as it did so they went to the other means. >> this started with the shooting, a police shooting of 18-year-old michael brown, an unarmed young man, shot by police. we hear today that the st. louis county prosecutor says that the police will interview or the prosecutor will interview a ferguson man there at the shooting, and we are told there may be a grand jury called. what else needs to happen in your opinion, patricia? >> we want to make sure that the investigation is fair and thorough. he needs to be charged. this was cold-blooded murder. this was not justified

patricia, does college tuition and cost end up operating in a different way than what we buy? colleges who increased their application costs have seen the largest increase in applications. price isn't scaring people off. >> price isn't scaring people off. but the fact of the matter is, we are seeing a knock-on to our economy of this massive student loan debt better. and one thing -- burden. and one thing people are starting to take a look at is what would be a reasonable percentage of median household income for four year public institution tuition. so in half the country right now tuition is 15% of median household income. that is before taxes. that is a really big bite. and the middle class is really, really suffering in the face of rising tuition. in fact, studies show kids from lower income families, between 40 and $50,000 a area they are actually graduating $11,000 more in debt than students from poorer families or affluent families primarily because the grants aren't available to them. so the middle class is really getting half erd with these higher -- hammered with thes

patricia? i don't know if she can hear me. >> now i hear him. >> we got you back. >> i don't know if she can hear me. but i think -- >> i can hear you now. >> -- a lot of people did not get how this, in many ways was what outraged a lot of the young people in the community is that he laid there for four hours and his family and everyone coming out, coming around. and they wouldn't move the body. wouldn't let -- they roped it off. wouldn't let the family near him. he's just laying there. and patricia. i think this timeline of him laying there. you're back with me. this is what really outraged a lot of the neighborhood and the community. and really added to the pain of the family. >> you're exactly right, rev. when i got to the scene, his body had just gotten picked up. people were outraged. i heard them say things like they treated him like he was trash in the middle of the street. they wouldn't let a dog lay down in the middle of the street that long. that's where the outrage is coming from. wh

i went to put a question to patricia bynes. the issue of the police force.while you may have more peaceful response to the peaceful protesters, you still have the issue of what happened to michael brown also overwhelmingly white police force in ferguson. a number of the people there may have, those please, then veterans of wars, perhaps occupied foreign lands and now in an overwhelmingly african-american community with their military equipment. what about these longer-term issues? yesterday i know, was speaking -- because i have been out there every single day, what i did say was, i see things that i understand how the escalation happened. where car an incident came flying down the street and almost plowed through a line of police officers. the car stopped maybe a foot and a half away from where the police officers were. i've seen st. louis county shown extreme amount of resistance when it comes to dealing with this issue. so i have seen how the escalation happened. but i've also talked of the officers. once the car incident happened, i noticed they brought

patricia bynes? >> oh, wow. that is the type of protection needs these days? it is adding filter the fire of a community that doesn't re trust them. -- it is adding fuel to the fire to community that already doesn't trust them. anre was tear gas thrown at al jazeera crew last night and police came and took down their cameras. if they're concerned about looking thorough, it is just not looking fair. in the community is calling for a fair and thorough investigation and st. louis county thinks they can do that, this type of karzai military activity and trying to come down hard on the media doesn't help that. aboutld you talk somewhat the town of ferguson and the history of development of racial tensions with the police force, and now overwhelmingly majority black community yet the police forces almost totally white? >> right. we have a history of certain municipalities and the st. louis county that the majority of the population that live there are black budget a social economic reasons, they don't participate in the political process. it tends to be a little mor

patricia de stacy? guest: people have different opinions. there are people who believe that government shouldn't fund a lot of things. all i can say is the proven value over decades has resulted in a positive for this country. host: how does the board work? guest: the board is appointed by the president of the united states, confirmed by the senate. it's a nine-member board. and no more than five members can be from any one party. really, when they created the public broadcasting act, they had this debate. as a result, they looked at just about everything. right now, we have a board coming from many different places, republicans, democrats, but they all have a love for public media. host: rob in alabama. caller: good morning. it is an extreme left-wing organization. yet, people hired simply because they don't -- the -- i don't want npr funded by public money anymore than i want rush limbaugh funded by public money. guest: that opinion is out there. but really going back to our mission and how we have kept to this, nowhere does it say politic

mary big am, director of the college counselling at the greenhill school, and from new york, patricia sabka, a correspondent for-al jazeera's "real money," with ali velshi. philip, since you have seen it from the inside, tell the people who are watching why it is that tuitions have risen so fast. what is driving the costs? >> well, as in your set up piece, the biggest factor increasing student tuition rates at public universities is a decline in state support for the universities. it seems as if the american dream is in danger of turning into an american nightmare. the students can see the land of opportunity but they can't get to it because the barrier of the cost of tuition. as you decrease the state support, expenses of the university, and the only way - or the major way the university has to make up for that is, in fact, to increase tuition. at the same time they are - most universities are getting more and more sensitive to the impact this has on students, so they will often have a combination of an increase in tuition, and some form of cuts within the university to try to decrea
