country. i m wondering, the tuition, or the cost of college is paid for either by taxpayers, by students, or by debt. i m all for making tuition be lower, but part of that includes not spending so much money on these colleges. i see, you know, you ve got dorms, you ve got middle level administrators, all being funded in unprecedented levels. these campuses often look like four-year resorts. i don t know about the uc campuses, but i see on campuses all over. so is there any way in which a little bit of, say, austerity, could be used to make sure that the tuition hike, tuition cuts you re calling for, aren t falling on the back of taxpayers? or i want to add one thing to that, natalia, on the transparency front, do the students even know where their tuition money goes? and is it clear whether it even goes to learning things, or whether it goes to adding prestige that may not even benefit the students? right. like, buildings and stuff.

on our debt. but you ve also got federal salaries and benefits, about 15 billion. how about a helping hand to the 14 million unemployed people out there? tuition money, temporary assistance for needy families, paychecks for our active duty soldiers, veterans programs, that s about six billion for the month, and can then there s irs refunds. in all the federal government will face a shortfall just for the month of august of about $160 billion. so what will we likely pay first? the experts tell us interest on our debt and then social security. in this country, generally, we pay all of our bills and we pay them in the order in which they re due, there s a possibility that that social security payment would not be paid on the 3rd, but it would be paid on the 4th or 5th. it would be paid. reporter: now, it s conceivable they could punt these decisions to congress starting on august 3rd, but president obama and treasury secretary tim geithner will
