[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody in their right mind thinks college cost increases over the past 25 years are not exorbitant.

and congress wants to put a cap on nurses pay, come on let's put some regulations around college costs.[/quote]

I don’t disagree with you, at all. But [b]I still don’t believe there’s any such thing as a donut hole family. [/b][/quote]

You are right.  There is no such thing as a donut hole family.  There are only families who refuse to liquidate their retirement funds, forgo their annual week at the beach, sell or remortgage their family homes, work until they are 80.  These people are selfish and stingy when they choose not to pay $320K per child and rising for their kids' undergraduate degrees, because if they only tried a little harder, they could pull it off.

Are you so blind to reality that you don't realize there are options between $320k/kid and "your kids can't go to college"?  If you can't try a little harder to save, then try a little harder to master a cost/benefit analysis.  If your vacation is an annual week at the beach, then expensive private schools are not for you!  Send Larlo to Whatever State Tech and stop feeling sorry for yourself.[/quote]
