well it's very strong in combat in particular which interestingly enough has the lowest tuitions fees in canada. i don't think you would necessarily get the same response in other parts of canada tobacco has historically have rates that are significantly lower than the other provinces tuitions rates that are significantly lower but in canada as a whole i like the us to ition is regulated and it is reasonably consistent from one institution to another so we do not have institutions that are relatively inexpensive and then institutions which are very expensive such as you have in the united states we certainly do have a hierarchy when it comes to prestige for university degrees but how does canada keep university twitchin so much lower comparatively to the united states so i think the answer to that is quite simple there's much more public money coming into our universities from taxation than there is for many of your universities canada doesn't really have a system of private universities diapers so basically all universities are significantly subsidized by public funds and student loa

of tuition because colleges can raise their own prices and -- i saw a report recently that -- tuitionas gone up something like -- more than 7% a year since 1978. that's an astonishing figure. >> yes. mine, it goes back to this idea of that there is no problem that the government can't make worse and, you know, this sort of the -- source as well of -- the president's political problems and why you saw this budget proposal in first place. remember, the government is now the originator of 90% of student loans. they decided to take this industry over. that does, as you say, put taxpayers on the hook and the president and democrats no longer have a private sector that they can squeeze when they want to try to keep these loan rates low and put pressure on private sector to deal with default and absorb those losses. they have had to be a lot more careful. and this is leading to some of their political problems. >> all right. kim, last word. when we come back, european leaders blast the u.s. after leaks reveal we are spying on our friends overseas. should you be outraged or reassured? when yo

even higher tuition.ith tuition already going up at twice the rate of inflation, this does not help us. students facing a terrible economic situation having to take out more debt for college because of obamacare, such a terrible situation. gerri: tuition inflation, pressure and student pocketboo pocketbooks, not just happening at the collegiate level, also happening in elementary and high schools all over the country. what you see is downsizing with everybody. they cannot provide health care, what do you say? >> it is just another case obama has delayed it one year, this is something we should get rid of all together and the individual mandate forring people into health care will not make health care more affordable for americans, especially young people. there is also price controls that target young people to pay more to subsidize older americans and that is not fair. we have the highest structural unemployment since the great depression. gerri: i am reading there are fewer people between 25-34 buying h

in the last 0 years tuition has gone up over 1,000%. the funding levels at the state and low level have continue butted to students paying more through tuition and i think it will be up to young people and their families to really sort of push that conversation. what can we t actually keep costs down in the first place. >> ifill: the conversation doesn't end with interest rates. it just goes on. >> that's right. ifill: ann johnson of the center for american progress and kevin kerry of the new american foundation, thank you both. >> thank you. ifill: there is more about each of the proposals online plus can you graduate debt free? use our calculator to find out. and we have collected your stories about student debt. fine tales of success, failure and advice on our website. >> woodruff: we return now to instability in egypt, and new questions about the political future of president morsi. margaret warner reports. >> warner: following an outpouring of dissent from millions of antigovernment demonstrators in the streets of egypt yesterday,

there is a hidden game where colleges will dish out tuition.ve a stated tuition price and they are discounting it. they are discounting it more and more to make sure they get the ideal that i talked about. now that is not even working. so i think there will be major transformations. gerri: so can i say my son is entering duke university in 110% off the price? does that work? >> it's really more that they will present an offer and give you a package in the mail, saying because your student is such a smart person we are willing to discount the tuition and provide this amount of scholarships to get them in the door. there's a lot more to seal the deal to get people in the door. then you have them for four years. gerri: and then he gives us more power certainly to get these prices down. any advice on how we can do that? >> negotiations will play a big role. the students will be courted a lot more than in the past. phone calls and offers and one thing to worry about is where you go to college, the value of that degree -- i mean, you have to be caref

it's a good idea until you realize you showed earlier on the show how much tuition has increased and reason is you get a huge amount of money from the federal government that the colleges understand, supply and demand allow them continue to crease their tuition. you showed that public institutions increased tuition by 27% since 2007 and the more expensive private colleges are about half of that. so, it's essentially it's inflating the budgets of universities, everybody understands that in fact, obama mentioned in one of his state of the union addresses the kind of attempt to rhetorically demand that colleges roll back tuition. but why should they? his words a lot of money. so i think that is the root of the problem. the other problem is how do you get out of debt with a job? and the prolonged unemployment, the high chronic unemployment and the fact that youth unemployment is so high is a reason why this is a more crushing debt than it would be in normal conditions. >> bret: senate minority leader gave a speech in part about this and said it was tied to obama care. in reality, that's

>> we definitely need a break in tuition.s gone up, what, something like 900% in the past few decades. and i think it's because schools know that the government and the taxpayers will find a way to pay for it through our student loan system. so, if students are -- if the colleges realize that students won't be able to continue to pay with the amount of rates we have now, i think that -- i think colleges will try to accommodate them and hopefully give the students a break, and the taxpayers a break. >> neil: obviously i imagine you're slightly at outs -- odds with some of your fellow students, fellow graduates, because they think this is going to be a huge pinch, a huge impact, and this isn't fair. what do you tell them and. >> the reality it is going to hurt for a lot of students, but i think our generation is so driven and so motivated and such huge dreamers, our dreams are bigger than 6.8%, and our dreams are going to happen either way if we're willing to work hard enough for it, and i don't think that at the taxpayers shou

public university tuition will be free.eturn the state will take a 3% cut of students future income for 24 years. that means if you're paid $50,000 annually you would owe oregon $1,500 a year. that won't pad the pockets of private lenders but would go back to the state pot to keep the future education free for future years. we have chairman of higher education and workforce committee. thank you for joining me in the war room, senator. this policy is the definition of thinking outside the box. tell us why this pay it forward pay it back plan is a good one. >> well, it got its legs in a classroom here at portland state university, and college students have become experts on student debt as you know. they walk out of college in four years with a diploma in one hand and a loan in the other and the average debt is $26,000. they came up with what if we did this, this and this, and it has a very appealing notion pay it forward, which came from the movie, and occasionally pops up in starbucks, and the reason that the legislature to

those providing the money necessary for kids to get loans, your tuition shoots up. i look at hofstra where i went and the amount of tuition, i wouldn't be able to afford that. i think as a country we have to decide and change our model on how we're going to fund college and how we're going to be able to fund that. there is both the private responsibility and i don't think we have done a great job as a country looking at what the country has to contribute. in reality, having a college graduate, it's contribute to our economy largely. >> if i could just introject. part of it is that the federal government is not making the investment in higher education. so, you know, tuition goes up because the federal government is not providing money, you know, for repairing schools, for research at universities. so, you know, we need to make an investment in education otherwise the college tuition will continue to go up and then the student loan crisis becomes even more of a crisis. we're not doing that. >> we're not, even in the student loan conversation, we're not even talking a
