Everyone should be able to get a college education without having to pay exorbitant prices. The solution isn't to tell people not to go to college. It's to make college education cheaper, and NOT by student loans etc. That just equates to free money/easy credit and thus lets colleges inflate their prices to ridiculous amounts. Its simple as this: If you are selling candy to a kid and he asks the price, u ask how much money can u get your dad to pay? If the dad is wiling to spend a LOT (like the govt and its loans) then obviously price skyrockets
