True. College was once reasonable too. It wasn't cheap, but reasonable. Trenton State College was the place to go for the average person when I graduated from high school.
Dumping money into something is a demand increase that raises prices.
Bernie the Bolshevik complains about Bloomberg buying votes while democrats have been doing that since FDR. Doesn't Bernie know that promising free college is buying votes? What Bernie doesn't tell you is in Europe's free college not everyone goes to college. A test taken in eighth grade determines that.

Yeah I don't for sure but I would wager you also have a much harder time later in life if you want to and are capable of getting a degree because you weren't on the right track for that in high school and probably can't even go to college unless you go back and take the right high school classes.
Seriously it drives me up the wall that Democrats either lie about or conceal or are oblivious to the many pitfalls of the never-ending schemes they continuously dream up.
I do think there are some reforms to higher education tho that should be in the spirit of our historical Greek and Roman roots any the renaissance and the enlightenment. It's problematic in the sense that higher learning is dominated by people who have an antagonistic and highly naive view of our roots ... a hatred in many cases. The reality is that our forefathers were amazing ... were they perfect, no ... in many instances they were men of their times and had views that we find revolting today ... same will probably be said of us in 1000 years, probably much less time than that. To demonize and not emphasize our roots when it comes to education and free open thought and celebration of our ancient ideals is harmful and not even morally right. It is precisely these negative views that permeate many levels of higher learning at many institutions across the county. We also have many of our most prestigious universities who are jeopardizing our national interests when it comes to China and their reliance on foreign money and donations.
So things need to change. I agree with that.
