Are you all joking about lowering college costs being some big unsolvable problem? The answer is very simple. Get the government out of the education business entirely. No funding for schools and no loans for students. Make colleges pay their employees out of their profits like any other business.

It is not just the problem of student debt for college either.... Uncle Sam’s meddling and involvement in K-12 education at the state and local level has been a negative force as well.

Yup. The fedgov has NO business in local education issues nor funding private institutions. DO AWAY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION YESTERDAY!!!
