Suffer the Children 0
Farron discusses Republicans’ opposition to Joe Biden’s attempt to help poor students get out from under crushing student loan debt.
I think not enough attention is paid to skyrocketing college tuition costs.
Back in the olden days, when I was a young ‘un, my parents were able to pay my and my brother’s college tuition bills. Now, my parents were not rich, but they were relatively well off, and the college bills were within their reach.
By the time my kids were ready for college, we and they had to take out loans. The tuition was not within our reach.
These days, college tuition seems to be beyond the reach of all but the most wealthy.
It’s probably my cynical nature, but I can’t help but suspect there is something hinky about how the increase in tuition cost has outstripped the pace of inflations..
