Of course tuition has gone up. The massive decline in state support has driven this madness as state funds continue to be rerouted to welfare programs. But hey, let’s kick education to the curb and continue the transformation to a welfare state run by organized criminals of the DC empire.

There are also two other problems:

1. Young people have been convinced that ANY/EVERYONE can succeed in college.

2. Our young people were taught to have IMMENSE self esteem at the expense of learning to read and write. With that they will CRASH AND BURN in college--and will feel good about it.

Ah, the 60's return.

No question that many students do wash out. I simply offered up the biggest reason that tuition has risen so dramatically. In some cases, state support has gone from more than 80% at public institutions to less than 20%, and every year the support continues to erode. It is just one more of the rat traps to undermine education while enhancing welfare dependents.
