    The government caused the insane bloating of college institutions by offering limitless funds and pushing every kid to go school, now they’re trying to use our tax dollars to put a band aid on their mistakes? Hell no.

      College is so expensive because the government does NOT offer lots of funding to public universities.

      And the help the government provides in the form of loans is subpar. When I was going through college a few years ago, the interest rate on the loans that were offered to me by the government was higher than my parents credit card interest rates.

      Our taxes should be used to pay for the education of future generations. Demanding the next generation improve society while making it as hard as possible for them is completely idiotic at best.

      (1) it’s not limitless, and (2) tuition and public institutions should be free anyway, and (3) tuition was really cheap until Ronald Reagan and his glorification of greed poisoned our entire culture.
