But the private student loan market is not what it used to be.
matched
And that's because it used to be a key source of borrowing for students.
matched
Lots of people leaned on it.

But when federal grad loans became unlimited 20 years ago...
matched
There was this mass exodus out of private loans into the federal system.
matched
So there was little reason for students to take out private loans.
matched
And so the private industry shrank.
matched
And now it could be way harder to get a private loan if you're a lower-income borrower with, you know, let's just say a short credit history or maybe a suboptimal credit history.
matched
You might not be able to get a private loan.
matched
Yeah, I think there's some truth to that, Kenny.
matched
And I also think that's not a bad message to send to some of these schools.
matched
I think it's reasonable to tell those schools, we're going to make this money harder to come by for borrowers because we don't think you're giving them a good return on their investment.
matched
Right.
matched
And since they're borrowing taxpayer dollars, you know, the message to these schools is, we're done.
matched
We're not going to lend unlimited money.
matched

matched
I feel like the Trump administration is playing chicken with schools.
matched
Get your prices down or we're going to make it so that you have a hard time filling your enrollment.
matched
Mm-hmm.
matched
And the trick there is that it's really the borrowers who are the ones having to make those hard choices.
