That would've been in the 1970s.
Â*Â* It points to a woman who decided she couldn't afford college and

I read that this morning and agree with Stossel.

Also, what happens when the government starts pumping money into it?
It gets more expensive that's what happens.

I went to college to learn and with summer jobs, living at home and a
little help from dad graduated college with no debt for me or dad.Â* Same
for grad school with a teaching assistantship and in last year a
fellowship I graduated with no debt.

Now you have kids going to college just to get a degree.Â* They get them
in art history, women's studies, etc which are completely useless in the
work force.Â* College costs sour with availability of loans and when the
government took over the loan business they skyrocketed.

Pretty much the same here.

Back in the 60's, I lived at home, attended a local private university,
worked a lot of hours at the US Post Office (before it became the US
Postal Service) at a pay rate just over twice the minimum wage-- then a
buck an hour-- paid my own tuition/fees/books and graduated in four
years with no debt and a little savings in the bank.
