Yeah I used to think it was the WW2 generation and before who pulled the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bullshit the most because the boomer during the 60s were like "fuck it man, the systems gonna fuck you anyway"...but if you think about it the WW1 generation was gonna burn down DC if the vets didnt get benifits (see: "bonus marches") and Eisenhower had the bighest tax on the rich ever...but the Boomer fuckers are the worst at the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bullshit. Alot of the newer generation of Americans are cooler. And Waters an old black woman still screwed his name up but the younger black woman next to him caught it and looked over at him instantly. Generations are a trip man.
Not all of us are completely out of touch. One thing to remember is that the trend of making college impossible for all but the richest started back in the early 80's. We called it Reaganomics. Now it is called business as usual. And yes, when I look at these old white guys running things, I am appalled to realize that many of them are my age. When I started college, during the Carter administration, a union carpenter's daughter could pay for everything with a Pell Grant, which was available to middle to low-income students. When Reagan became president, suddenly Pell grants practically disappeared, and you had to borrow, or be independently wealthy to finish college. At the same time, tuition started ballooning, while wages stagnated. This was not something the Boomers started, but maybe we were asleep at the wheel when it started happening. However, blaming a generation for the structure of our economy is not productive. Look at all the things Millenials get blamed for. Is it all true? NO. I can think of a couple Millenials who definitely are making a difference. Look at AOC and Ilhan Omar. When I was their age, it was unthinkable that a working class girl could get elected to Congress, and they did it WITHOUT corporate money. If you don't like how people are running things, then maybe you young folks should get up there and help them run it. It is your future at stake. I wish you well.

I grew up hearing that going to college was essential. I HAD to work my ass off and get good grades to get into a good college. It was the responsible thing to do. Despite good grades, I couldn't afford college. So I joined the army, because, I was told, they would pay for my college. But after I got out, it wasn't even close to enough money to get my degree. So I borrowed the rest, because the college promised it provided career experts that would help me find a job. After getting my masters, the only thing those experts found for me were unpaid internships, which I worked, for years, because the people I slaved away for promised my efforts would lead to a good job. It didn't. So I was told that what I REALLY needed to do was learn coding. So, I did. More debt. And everywhere I tried to get a job coding, I'm told I'm too old to start in that field. Now, I'm an Uber driver, drowning in college debt, listening to people born with a silver spoon in their mouth telling me how irresponsible it was that I did any of that.
What masters did you have? And theres no such thing as too old to code, some people I know started at 40 with no degrees only bootcamps and certifications.
@@winzyl9546 So the thing is there is a significant difference between a bootcamp born developer and a Software Engineer.

you can be professional and laugh. Professionalism, that is when an individual conducts themselves in a manner consistent with the competence or skill expected of said professional, has nothing to do with laughing or smiling, unless you're in a job where those things are strictly prohibited or very much out of place (funeral directors making dead grandfather jokes would be HIGHLY unprofessional, primary school teachers laughing about pedophilia would not only be unprofessional but also call in to question their ability to properly do their job). I don't think there's anything about being a lawyer or politician that indicates that to be competent or skilled in that position, you can't laugh.

kritika bhasin true. I could see Duffy’s perspective of how he is trying to say his claims and such in his five minutes, but he does need to calm down. Hisan is no politician or such but he is a citizen who does know his facts for the most part. He as well used comedic topics to allow him to get the attention of audience members, which is smart in my opinion.
Would you rather him answer congress the way everyone does by dodging questions, answering with vague statements, taking the first minute to thank everybody in the room individually and then point out how great the question is but then go into a long winded response that answers nothing?
Hasan is not only a very clever, funny comedian, he's a very engaged political person too. It is a pleasure to listen to his arguments about the student loan crisis.
:D D: CVS is a drug company store that handles pharmaceutical products. Usually for drugs, they hand out extremely long receipts for each drug you get.
THIS, all that "college prep" class bull that I took was only for the educational side of college. Where is the class on how to protect myself financialy? Could i have looked this up myself? Sure. But like many others at age 17 or 18 I TRUSTED when my guidance councellor or my mother who just "knew" college was the right choice told me to just get a loan and everything would be fine and that my job's income would cover it.
spoiler alert, it didnt and now i struggle to pay back 70k+ while thinking of starting a family with my wife who waited 5 long years to get married when we had some money saved up. I think i pay around a grand in loans per month with my grandparents helping me on a few of them. (proud software engineer btw)
Oh man. what a confidence this man has. and how passionate he's about the issues that he raises in his shows. This is just amazing to see that a person raised an issue in a satire show and that was picked by Congress and they actually invited him to testify. what a way to make an impact on society and government policies. I wish this day comes in India in near future where there will be healthy discussions rather that shitty TV debates and comedy and riots inside Parliament.
why was it cheaper? Because a lot less people were going to college before the government started subsidizing it. in other words it's as much the fault of the govt as it is to everyone who participated in the scheme, including the students. Yall are the one's paying these stupid prices

It’s stupid how they’re treating him like a joke when he’s just throwing casual jokes here and there to lighten up the tense atmosphere. Mans legit spitting facts and they treat him like a joke coz he’s a comedian. Also it’s CRAZY how they expect an 18 year old to know a lot about loans when they just graduated from high school and are entering college. Like???? You expect a kid who briefly learned about student loans in school to make the best decisions? That’s plain stupid
As some one who has worked in subprime loan, I have come across people making stupid decisions, even after having multiple bankruptcies in their credit reports. And that's when they have yearly household income or revenue, which are considered reasonable, and above median. So I would say, people don't register the fact they have to be responsible when managing their finances, even when they are grown ups. College kids are definitely an easy target in the hands of predatory loan retailers. If the students can't find anything better than minimum wage or some thing in their line of study, they get stuck with the debt for a better part of their productive life. They delay buying their first house, committing to a relationship, and most commonly, either delay or avoid having kids till they find a solid base. And let's say, if you miss couple of months paychecks in between, it's end of story for most, since their credit score drops to less than 600. And then there is the payday loans, and other vulture lenders waiting with 19.99% and up, loan products to hit that final nail, putting their life in misery or even worse homeless.
I graduated HS in 2008. Literally EVERYONE told me to go to school. Went for 1 year and it just wasn't for me. I shit you not we are just paying the last bill in 2020. I'm not the only one too or some idiot. Shit happens. People are still paying their loans off or never will. I have a wife and we don't want kids. If we did I don't know how we would afford one let alone send them to college.
That's the point. 18 year olds in america are meant to 'know better' and be 'smart enough' yet you're not even allowed to drink because your laws don't believe you are responsible at that age but also want you to make big decisions about money and elections. It's similar in the UK. there were banks who misinformed and practically forced students to sign up with a bank and use an overdraft facility, during the fresher fair. They strong armed students and told them to open up accounts which "they could close later if they wanted to". They were also sold the overdraft facility with "zero interest" and didn't tell them about the interest rates that would be implemented later on, nor did they inform them about the minimum amount they had to pay in each month when using that over draft facility or the minimum amount they had to pay in or pay out to keep the account "active" or their account would be closed. Social expectations keep students and the general public zombies to follow what's always been done which keeps them stupid because nobody questions it, so banks cant profit on their decisions they make. Loan companies limit the decisions students allowed to make by giving them either misinformation, that's still legal, like their selling opinionated advice and them adding a disclaimer, but also pushing them to make a decision at that time, or not informing them at all, and expecting them to read and understand the terms and conditions, that's written in jargon, to purposely make it hard for any student leaving high school to understand, but also make it difficult for any general working class person to fully understand. Then the blame is misdirected towards parents, "who should have been better informed" to educate their children. Then they blame kids for wanted to go to university when they can't afford it. It's a system that pushes forward a culture that only benefits the rich. It's gatekeeping who can and can't go to university. You can only go so far in certain fields without a university degree. Most jobs, you can work your way up, but having a qualification and work experience will make an employer choose them over the person with just experience because of the value of credentials. You literally can't become a doctor without going to school for it. Anything in medicine, law or education needs a degree. Work experience can only teach you so much. University isn't necessary for most things but there is a social culture which will gatekeep your opportunities in both ways if you attend and if you don't attend.
@@anonymoussecret5948 That's true. I don't think anyone would say that Jon Stewart and Colbert aren't comedians, but when they testified they were much more incisive. Even when Colbert was in character, he was still pointed. And Stewart, when he gets angry he gets laser focused and does not diminish his points by "trying to lighten the mood" because the mood shouldn't be lightened. There were still "jokes" but they were deadly. Hasan did OK, but I think he did diminish some of his points by injecting needless asides. I think that's a confidence thing, Hasan's been around for a little while but he's not nearly as established as Stewart and Colbert were when they testified. Also, possibly, a slow-simmering anger and frustration thing vs a "still optimistic" thing. For some reason we don't take optimists as seriously as we take pessimists.

When I went to a good college in 1974 It was $3,000 a year plus Pell grants. Graduate school was 15,000 a year for a good graduate school. The cost of college is outrageous and unjustified In my view. College is a business and no other businesses have ballooned in cost the way our colleges have. Also if students are going to go into economic servitude They better be very targeted on what kind of a job they can get when they get out. It's no longer an economy or a society where students can be creative and invest in education that doesn't bring in the dollars after graduating. It's not fair to society and it's not fair to future generations!

He is a naturally born speaker. Look how he started and how he provided everyone with the data comparing past and present tuition fees. he did enough research and investigation prior to his testimony especially on the tuition of the congress stuff. How gifted he is?
Skull Ess Because his wife is a non Muslim and there is a harassment to change her religion to Islam and Infact he named his kids for Muslim names and intentionally doesn’t want to disclose the names to cover his true face.
Dont be confused the fact is that you either have to be a genius and get it scott free or search for every benefit you can. Or by the time you get out of college you just realize that you will need to spend the next 20 years to repay your student loan.
As a British person I was devastated that the government tripled the tuition fees and I could be house hunting right now if it wasn't for the sudden increase
Here in the US the education system, and healthcare is a scam. They have lobbyists which is a fancy name for bribery dealers to bend the govt rules by paying donations to help the businesses. I grew up in US and lost my dad at age 15. I worked minimum wage to go to college and couldn't afford tuition as it kept rising faster than minimum wage. Inspired to get a PHD in comp science, I had to join the work force with just my bachelors degree. Man 20+ years later in IT it must have been the best thing because I am not still paying tuition at age 48. By the way college is free in Europe. US needs to drain the swamp.

I don't think there's anything about being a lawyer or politician that indicates that to be competent or skilled in that position, you can't laugh.

Student loan awareness should be taught in High School.
THIS, all that "college prep" class bull that I took was only for the educational side of college. Where is the class on how to protect myself financialy? Could i have looked this up myself? Sure. But like many others at age 17 or 18 I TRUSTED when my guidance councellor or my mother who just "knew" college was the right choice told me to just get a loan and everything would be fine and that my job's income would cover it.
spoiler alert, it didnt and now i struggle to pay back 70k+ while thinking of starting a family with my wife who waited 5 long years to get married when we had some money saved up. I think i pay around a grand in loans per month with my grandparents helping me on a few of them. (proud software engineer btw)

That, and going to school shouldn't cost as much as a brand new Tesla

I love that even while testifying and making fantastic points, he's still trying and succeeding to make people laugh.
It’s stupid how they’re treating him like a joke when he’s just throwing casual jokes here and there to lighten up the tense atmosphere. Mans legit spitting facts and they treat him like a joke coz he’s a comedian. Also it’s CRAZY how they expect an 18 year old to know a lot about loans when they just graduated from high school and are entering college. Like???? You expect a kid who briefly learned about student loans in school to make the best decisions? That’s plain stupid
As some one who has worked in subprime loan, I have come across people making stupid decisions, even after having multiple bankruptcies in their credit reports. And that's when they have yearly household income or revenue, which are considered reasonable, and above median. So I would say, people don't register the fact they have to be responsible when managing their finances, even when they are grown ups.
College kids are definitely an easy target in the hands of predatory loan retailers. If the students can't find anything better than minimum wage or some thing in their line of study, they get stuck with the debt for a better part of their productive life. They delay buying their first house, committing to a relationship, and most commonly, either delay or avoid having kids till they find a solid base. And let's say, if you miss couple of months paychecks in between, it's end of story for most, since their credit score drops to less than 600. And then there is the payday loans, and other vulture lenders waiting with 19.99% and up, loan products to hit that final nail, putting their life in misery or even worse homeless.
I graduated HS in 2008. Literally EVERYONE told me to go to school. Went for 1 year and it just wasn't for me.
I shit you not we are just paying the last bill in 2020. I'm not the only one too or some idiot. Shit happens. People are still paying their loans off or never will.
I have a wife and we don't want kids. If we did I don't know how we would afford one let alone send them to college.
You guys are are learning about student loan in school x?
Coz in Pakistan We never heard of something like student loan in schools!
oh my freaking god so true so so true
That's the point. 18 year olds in america are meant to 'know better' and be 'smart enough' yet you're not even allowed to drink because your laws don't believe you are responsible at that age but also want you to make big decisions about money and elections. It's similar in the UK. there were banks who misinformed and practically forced students to sign up with a bank and use an overdraft facility, during the fresher fair. They strong armed students and told them to open up accounts which "they could close later if they wanted to". They were also sold the overdraft facility with "zero interest" and didn't tell them about the interest rates that would be implemented later on, nor did they inform them about the minimum amount they had to pay in each month when using that over draft facility or the minimum amount they had to pay in or pay out to keep the account "active" or their account would be closed.
Social expectations keep students and the general public zombies to follow what's always been done which keeps them stupid because nobody questions it, so banks cant profit on their decisions they make. Loan companies limit the decisions students allowed to make by giving them either misinformation, that's still legal, like their selling opinionated advice and them adding a disclaimer, but also pushing them to make a decision at that time, or not informing them at all, and expecting them to read and understand the terms and conditions, that's written in jargon, to purposely make it hard for any student leaving high school to understand, but also make it difficult for any general working class person to fully understand.
Then the blame is misdirected towards parents, "who should have been better informed" to educate their children. Then they blame kids for wanted to go to university when they can't afford it. It's a system that pushes forward a culture that only benefits the rich. It's gatekeeping who can and can't go to university. You can only go so far in certain fields without a university degree. Most jobs, you can work your way up, but having a qualification and work experience will make an employer choose them over the person with just experience because of the value of credentials. You literally can't become a doctor without going to school for it. Anything in medicine, law or education needs a degree. Work experience can only teach you so much. University isn't necessary for most things but there is a social culture which will gatekeep your opportunities in both ways if you attend and if you don't attend.

@@anonymoussecret5948 That's true. I don't think anyone would say that Jon Stewart and Colbert aren't comedians, but when they testified they were much more incisive. Even when Colbert was in character, he was still pointed. And Stewart, when he gets angry he gets laser focused and does not diminish his points by "trying to lighten the mood" because the mood shouldn't be lightened. There were still "jokes" but they were deadly. Hasan did OK, but I think he did diminish some of his points by injecting needless asides. I think that's a confidence thing, Hasan's been around for a little while but he's not nearly as established as Stewart and Colbert were when they testified.
Also, possibly, a slow-simmering anger and frustration thing vs a "still optimistic" thing. For some reason we don't take optimists as seriously as we take pessimists.

Also if students are going to go into economic servitude They better be very targeted on what kind of a job they can get when they get out. It's no longer an economy or a society where students can be creative and invest in education that doesn't bring in the dollars after graduating.

He just hosted another Patriot Act episode casually while giving a testimony!
“Because I have immigrant parents and they made me live at home with them”
I can relate here
Yeah my parents would be too worried to let me leave for uni😓
I can relate to this statement as well.
Same, so relatable. And saved so much money
What Mr Duffy doesn’t understand at all, is that Hasan Minhaj is not cracking jokes because he doesn’t find the situation serious, he’s cracking jokes because he finds the situation absolutely absurd!
"They want their best option, not a CVS receipt." Bam!
Ok...so do you know how many likes did you get (^^)
Hope CVS gave him some money for the shout out.
Lmao 😂
I literally laughed out loud to that 😂
He is a naturally born speaker. Look how he started and how he provided everyone with the data comparing past and present tuition fees.
he did enough research and investigation prior to his testimony especially on the tuition of the congress stuff. How gifted he is?
Ikr
You agree to him just because you are a Muslim and he is a Muslim.
@@sukuvar did you assume his religion based on his name
Skull Ess Because his wife is a non Muslim and there is a harassment to change her religion to Islam and Infact he named his kids for Muslim names and intentionally doesn’t want to disclose the names to cover his true face.
@sukuvar If he hasn't disclosed the names, how do you know that the names are Muslim?
As a European I'm still having a hard time realizing the usa is discussing the right to education
Im African and im confused too
I’m American and it’s all about the money.
Dont be confused the fact is that you either have to be a genius and get it scott free or search for every benefit you can. Or by the time you get out of college you just realize that you will need to spend the next 20 years to repay your student loan.
As a British person I was devastated that the government tripled the tuition fees and I could be house hunting right now if it wasn't for the sudden increase
Here in the US the education system, and healthcare is a scam. They have lobbyists which is a fancy name for bribery dealers to bend the govt rules by paying donations to help the businesses. I grew up in US and lost my dad at age 15. I worked minimum wage to go to college and couldn't afford tuition as it kept rising faster than minimum wage. Inspired to get a PHD in comp science, I had to join the work force with just my bachelors degree. Man 20+ years later in IT it must have been the best thing because I am not still paying tuition at age 48. By the way college is free in Europe. US needs to drain the swamp.
This guys should run for office. he’s so awesome
Guy: holds up long paper of legal documents
Hassan: they want their best option not a CVS receipt 😂😂
What's CVS receipt?
@@Sheen023 it’s a receipt that you get from the store “CVS” that is known for how long it is. You could buy one thing and get a unnecessarily long receipt the size of two papers attached together
@@koolaidsam_ thanks for the explanation
That was like the document on websites which we are asked to read. We are not lawyers and they purposely set us up. The system is a corrupt Communist system. They may just put it in mandarin . 😁
@@koolaidsam_ it's been a proposed alternative to toilet paper lol
"They want their best option, not a CVS receipt" 😂😂😂
LMFAOOO MY MAN, THAT HAD ME DYING
He shut him up so good the guy himself laugh hahaha
I read your comment and I bursted out laughing again after watching the video.
8:32 ded 💀💀💀
Man I was ass off🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I don't have crippling student loan debt, I have crippling emotional debt" LMAO
I wanted to like this but I couldn't mess with the number of likes. It's too perfect.
crippling emotional debt is not uncommon among muslims
I want to laugh, but I have both, so the joke‘s on me😒
Are u swifty .I was shocked man
Hats off to u
The man who complained about him thinking it's a joke.....is literally named Mr Duffy 💁
Omg I choked on this xD
@@aweirdo9277 😳
Yeah dunno what Mr fluffy is so mad about
"Sir Duffy, we understand your sentiments but... go shove that insecurity somewhere else cause we got a salient and intersting discussion going on here thanks,"
He got salty after being clapped back at LOL
the fact that mr. duffy doesn't understand that you can be funny about an absurd and enraging situation and still care about it deeply is one of the problems with congress
yea that guy pissed me off so much and made me realize why things don't get done in Congress
Party pooper at family reunions
ironic for the person with the funniest name to be the most miserable.
Or maybe he’s just annoyed that this dude came in with the intention of just making jokes the whole time and trying to go viral.
Due to lack of arguments he just had to attack Hasan. That is sad to watch and at the same time very concerning because he is a congressman, has great responsibility, yet not ready for an open and honest conversation.. and Hasan is rather sarcastic and his humor only points our the problem that is being dealt with
Hassan Minhaj kinda reminds me of Tony Stark.
Whoa! I see it! Yesss.
Yes!! He has the coolness, the boldness of Tony Stark AKA Robert Downey Jr. same person.
are you swifty. thats when i get it
thats fucking true ...................it was like , yeah . i'm ironman
I knew Hasan's character seemed familiar, and now I realize why
Hasan man we indians are proud of you standing up for the issues middle class americans are facing and you make our Indian ethnicity city proud and who would have balls to counter jokes in congress oh my god . You are GOAT
Bhakhts will disagree.
Indian is not an ethnicity and stupid Indians need to stop feeling proud of doing absolutely nothing.
He states the facts. Sadly, I don't think he was heard.
we heard him at the very least
I laughed so hard at the “I have emotional crippling debt”. 🤣🤣
😭
Good that means you’re smart
@@locaterobin dude this is so true 😓😓
@@locaterobin why do you indians idolise and glorify western culture? is this a post-colonial effect? I'm curious.
The smile on chairwoman Waters face was too funny when he said he would go back to where he came from. She wasn't ready for his jokes lol
except he won't because America is better. And yet he moans even if he jests.
Chairwoman Waters reaction because her thought was "Yeah right"
The government always has ways and ways will pay for out of this country students with visas or green cards their full education
@@eggsbenedict8449 He was born in California.
@@eggsbenedict8449 cus he's American and didn't come from anywhere else. Afaik, he was born and raised in the US.
Navient: we read all these terms to them
Minhaj: They want the best option for them, not CVS receipts
LOL
Most Congress hearings are such a waste of young peoples’ time. He’s trying to teach dinosaurs English and tell them about the modern world. God bless him!
No they know english they just wont do anything because both parties are funded by colleges
Yaa. True. Young people have their own ways of doing thing. We should break those old,very old customs. And modernised the system

As someone with student loan debt and as an American, Hasan is a hero for this. All the people in that room who responded to him in a condescending way were afraid of his intellect and they should be. That was incredibly powerful to witness in this video. Thank you for standing up for our generation, Hasan.
Did someone force you to go to college? Did you not read the loan documents?
@@1976brenden it is extremely hard to get a job that pays more than minimum wage without a degree, and it is way too expensive for the middle class and lower to pay out of pocket
@@TheSiddharthRay completely false. There are trades that pay much, much more than minimum wage, you can start at the bottom and work your way up, there is certifications, military, fire, and on and on. Lots of options besides college where you can make a very comfortable living.
College should only be for those who are going into in demand fields. Too many really expensive degrees in things like “women’s studies” or “sociology” which are worthless in the open market.
Again, no one forces anyone to go to college and it’s not my responsibility to bail others out on their poor decision.
@@TheSiddharthRay nothing you said has anything to do with the fact that college is a choice. If you go get a degree and it doesn’t get you a good job, that’s not my fault, and no one else should have to bail you out just because you’re not making what you want. You will just have to work harder to pay off the debt and sacrifice until you make more money.
I don’t have a college degree, I work in training and development and make 140k. When I started out, I made 35k (that’s $16.82 per hour).
It’s time to grow up and realize that you’re responsible for your life and it’s not always going to be easy, and no one owes you anything.
@@1976brenden any proof of all your claims you can share?
Mr. Duffy just lectured a famous comedian about "making something a joke" while he testified to help citizens. Is that not just really absurd?
Seems like Duffy's fluffy ego got hurt.
"Aunt Becky" got Duffy stuttering 😂😂😂
