[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's right. Stop pushing university as a free basic right and demanding the tax payer fund it with .gov money and the price of it sinks like a stone.

Nothing rises in cost like an artificially subsidized product by the government.

If the demand is there, people will pay for it themselves and THEY will hold the university accountable on the cost.[/quote]
Yes. When goods and services are priced knowing that they will be covered by "other people's money," the cost rises. We see this in healthcare, where an aspirin in a hospital is billed at $10 (insurance pays) or lunchtime restaurants popular with the business set (where the employer pays).

I, for example, am currently in a hotel, where the rates Mon - Thursday were close to double what I paid last night. The difference is the difference in the clientele. During the week, it's primarily business travel, and the "boss" pays. Jack the price up. On the weekends, it's virtually all families, and the individual is responsible for paying, so the price comes down.

If we were to make colleg free at state colleges (well, not free....the government pays), count on prices skyrocketing.[/quote]
