College is expensive.
Or do jobs pay too little?

I prattle. You decide...


Mostly that I prattle, but I can only hope I'm, if nothing else, more entertaining than FOX.

1. Yes to all of the above!
College is too damn expensive, and college costs have skyrocketed far more than other costs. In addition, the Repubs in control of the government for the past decade have cut funding to colleges, shifting more of the cost to the family.

And to add insult to injury, the jobs that are "available" to new graduates don't pay squat.

3. If government was paying colleges, that was out of taxpayer funds.
Either way, we were paying. The real problem being, cutting corporate taxes and shifting it all onto the workers, while jobs magically vanish.

And, indeed, the President of the time who happily scribbled his moniker for all of it.
