O Donnell talks over peter and tells peter what his position is before peter even has a chance to answer. The viewership of MSNBC can't be very intelligent if they tolerate this.

True; that and high tax rates.

@regelemihai It's a false question. The private schools he's talking about are exclusive ivy league prep schools. There are other private schools that cost a LOT less and provide a better education than public school. In addition, government mandates and compliance costs for any business are exorbitant in NY ... causing EVERYTHING to be very expensive.

@mcbain434444 they don't. cnn gets 2x the ratings, Fox gets 7x the ratings. often times, msnbc is lucky to crack 100k viewers. Blitzer gets 250k, Hannity gets 800k. And al sharpton isn't going to fix the problem.

@regelemihai also because the government is giving loans to everyone so everyone can (theoretically) afford to go to any school they want. if someone can actually only afford to go to a 15k school, they can go to the 40k school because the government will give them the loans to do this. so prices keep rising because schools realize people will pay whatever via loans. then, unsurprisingly, they can't pay it back.

what a piece of shit

The problem is he puts words in his guest's mouth. What kind of person does an interview like that.

WTF O'DONNELL?!!
I don't like O'Donnell but he made a good point that Peter didn't insist on answering: if government is driving the price of tuition up, why are private schools that are not subsedized by the government like state schools that much more expensive? It doesn't make sense.

Answer: Because if you lived in an area where the public schools were so terrible, the demand for good alternative schools would increase. If all the public schools were amazing, the demand for private alternatives would decrease and the price would go down. The terrible public school existence is what makes private alternatives higher in price.
If there were only private schools w/out subsidies, competition would drive all the prices down.
