The PROBLEM with the cost of higher education, is precisely that Govt subsidizes it, period! By creating a higher demand than otherwise would be, the costs have soared.
Not to mention that many of the totally unprepared who usually drop out are taking the space from others who are.
And the institutions take Govt's money and build other things for Dept heads etc, instead of the classroom seats the demand creates. I.E. a much larger overhead costs/seat ratio means higher tuitions.
Nuff said!

The ONLY education the government should sponsor are scholarships for the brightest scientists, and engineers. Of course, we do everything bassackwards here, and it is going to cost us dearly. Truth to tell, it already has!
