The other thing that I’ve heard a lot about lately is the “Tax Credits” for college and other things. If I were running a private college and I knew that most of my parents are going to get a $4,000 tax “Credit” (not deduction), the first thing I would do is raise my tuition $4,000. Most Americans realize that is exactly what will happen.

As a University faculty member, I absolutely agree that we would raise tuition and fees by at least $4000 if this bill were passed. I'm not sure I agree that the American people are smart enough to realize this though -- at least not enough of them to prevent a bill like that from passing.

Government Money is inflationary in nature.
