[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What it be so bad if your kid used ROTC to go to a top school and served his/her country?  All this whining from people making more than 90% of their countrymen smacks of DMV entitlement writ large.[/quote]

its not entitled to complain about getting ripped off.  Nobody, not even the rich, like to be ripped off.

But I have to admit I don't understand why there is not a private school that tries to have state-school like tuition?  Why don't any of the privates try to compete on cost?[/quote]
Because they don’t have to? These schools have their pick of tens of thousands of students. And they know that people will pay for them (or that the government will give $$ in the form of loans). Why would they have any incentive to lower their price? They’ve only gotten MORE applications as their price goes up...[/quote]

Right, but looking at it the other way, if the states withdrew their subsidies for state schools then they would have to start charging private school-like tuition.[/quote]
