[quote=Anonymous]Who exactly should pay for your kids' education if not the parents? Sure, it would be great if tuition were lower or if we have a national plan to subsidize it for everyone, but we don't. So today, who should pay? If you've really got millions in retirement, why shouldn't you be expected to draw down some of that? The rest of us don't have that much because we set some aside for our kids. Shouldn't those people get financial relief before you? What about people who started out at the starting line, while you were already on second base because your parents were able to put you through college without saddling you with loans like the rest of us? How about everyone whose parents paid for their wedding, or even chipped in? How about everyone whose parents helped them afford to buy a house before the prices shot through the roof? How about married couples where one spouse got to stay home and not work for money? Why should they qualify for more aid than the families where both parents tried their best to earn and save? Maybe these people should step aside till everyone else gets a break finally?
