Hello Tim,

 TR> See...some clown goes to college on `government' (taxpayers) money, gets a
 TR> job an makes a decent salary, and thinks `...oh well! the democrats will
 TR> pass `student loan forgiveness' before long anyway, so why pay anything?
 TR> It'll all be free!'

 TR> It's time some of them were held accountable.

Over the last thirty years, college tuition has increased
by over 1,120 percent.  That is according to the Wall Street
Journal.  I'll take those numbers as being credible.

The cost of college tuition has increased three times
faster than the consumer-price index.  And twice as fast
as medical care.  That is in the last ten years.

Young people can no longer afford to pay their own way
through college.  Their parents can no longer afford to
send them to college.  They cannot get jobs that pay
enough, even if they work full time, in order to go to
college.

Student loans do not pay the entire cost of going to college.
Only about 80 percent of the cost of tuition.  The cost of books
is almost as high as the cost of tuition.  And that is not to
mention the cost of room and board, for those living on campus.

Basically, $9,000 to $30,000 per year for the cost of tuition
alone.  Undergraduate studies.  Not graduate school, law school,
medical school, or professional.

Once upon a time, only the rich could afford to go to college.
It seems we are returning to the days of old.  Where the only ones
who can succeed in America are those who have been born with a
silver spoon in their mouth.

What a sick and disgusting people we have become.
