With Americans' student debt now over $1.5 trillion, Hasan looks at how the federal government turned the Department of Education into the largest bank in America in terms of loans, and examines the department's relationship with loan servicers. These private financial companies have benefitted from Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos' hands-off regulation that has made it easy for students to become trapped in debt.

    I got concerned then I realised I don't live in the US 😂😂😂
  • Bro wtf. Why is so comedy show on netflix more informative than any investigative journalist I've ever seen?
  • @Vla3d
    After watching this episode I can't stop to think that this show was cancelled because it was in someone's interest to do so. Yes, I'm thinking conspiracy.
  • @HasanMinhaj
    The Patriot Act audience at the latest taping had $6 million worth of outstanding student loan debt. Yes. $6 million. #DebtFucked
  • @drumjod
    This show has the coolest looking stage with screens all over including the floor.
  • @manuelusg
    I’ve always found it odd that no one questions the schools themselves. Why are they charging so much for tuition, especially compared to tuition in other countries?
  • My parents dream for me was immigrating to the US, after a cuarantine binge of several late night shows we have concluded Canada or Spain

    That NCAA joke was built up perfectly, yet was so unexpected.

    "You have no ability to pick who your student loan servicer is." That really just says it all, doesn't it.

    Hi from Sweden where I literally GET PAID to pursue higher education. Oh and also, I'm from Syria as well since my parents are from there, and just to let you know, education is free there too. Even higher education.

    True Story: I called my student loaners and asked for lower payments. They said No. I asked, "well i only have X amount of money after essential bills.. what do you want me to do, Rob a Bank!?" She Said, "You do what you gotta do, Sir." True Story

    Had to re-watch after his testimony before Congress
  • My husband and I both graduated from BYU (as a mechanical engineer and a high school physics teacher, respectively) and because BYU tuition is only about $5k per year we managed to get through without loans. My husband had a scholarship and I used a hodgepodge of methods, including one year I paid out of pocket with my childhood college savings. I am so grateful for this miracle as I am becoming more and more aware how uncommon getting through college without loans is.

    YEMEN The poorest country in the Middle East, with 4 years civil war, still send the smartest student to study abroad and the Government pay for it.

    Thank you, Hasan, for making this depressing and frustrating topic informative and easy to understand. IMO, the US is fu$%ed. For example, I am sadly grateful my grandmother died so I could pay off my student loans. It's f-ed on so many levels. First, it means I'm privileged enough to come from a family whose grandparent had money left to give to their grandkid after they died. Second, she died due to a hospital being understaffed and unable to provide her care. They overmedicated her instead, which lead to her death, which allowed me to pay off my student loans. And on the topic of healthcare in the US being f-ed, I was hospitalized and told it would be paid for because I worked at said hospital. Three days and 30k later, I was discharged. Unable to pay off the 30k, I filed for bankruptcy (also privileged to at least have the funds to file for bankruptcy). BTW, bankruptcy does not relieve you of student loan debt. No, that stays with you and your family indefinitely. That is unless a family member passes and you can use your inheritance to pay it off. Do you see the layers of fu$%edupness that exists in the US? How are we the land of the free?
  • OMG, I literally had a navient agent send me the forbearance forms when I requested IBR.
