first, I want to thank my friend and colleague, the senior Senator from Illinois, not only for his wonderful remarks here today but for his passion on this issue. He was one of the first to blow the whistle on these colleges. When you hear about this, it just boils your blood--boils your blood. These kids did nothing wrong. It is one of the reasons we believe student debt should be forgiven. The Federal Government gave them the loans--that was required by law--but they were taken advantage of through no fault of their own. I wonder if this Mr. Modany has been prosecuted for any of these things. He does not deserve to have, probably, the millions he has on the backs of all of these students. But I thank the Senator from the bottom of my heart. This boils our blood, what they did to these kids. That is one of the reasons we believe that the White House ought to forgive up to $50,000 of student debt. OK. Let's go to another subject.
