[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This country is failing.

The cost of a college education (even at state schools) has gotten way out of hand.

They sharp spike upward in cost which isn't even remotely close to the pace of salaries is crazy.

Once the fed loan program came in and schools found out people would just borrow, borrow and borrow some more...the tuitions started spiking.  And colleges started to become like country clubs with huge sports centers and coffee bars and luxury dorms, etc.  I had a dorm room without air conditioning, that was bare bones and the cafeteria which was equivalent to my public high school cafeteria.  Now these kids can get health shakes and have 50 different lunch options.

The country is not failing.  It will be just fine.  I agree state school should be cheaper but the way to do that is by the ballot box and I do not think there is real support for that.  There is no sharp spike upwards.  It has been moving steady for decades.  Inflation is hurting colleges right now and they pass that pain down.  I hear what you are saying on bare bones (that was my experience) but times change.  What also changes is how many really rich people that there are in this country.  People think it is just a few -- it is not and they are the people going to lots of these colleges.  And they want what they want. [/quote]
