The private sector taking fees that should really -- -- streets and people. Because the idea here being -- education loans are sort of a different category of -- exactly right. -- -- Jordan -- -- -- first question comes from Bryant to Chicago Illinois President Obama is moving away from the old system where banks were more involved in student loans . Can you explain this old system and why the new one is better we touch on that a little bit in the first segment but maybe you can elaborate.
