According a recent article in The Nation, there a several things to think about before tomorrow's big day.
1)Since 2000, the average cost of attending a four-year public university has increased 42 percent, while median household income has fallen 2%
2)The average student graduates with almost $19,000 in student loan debt--not to mention another $3,200 in credit card debt. This is nearly three and a half times as much debt as the average college graduate faced a decade ago
3) If trends continue, an estimated 2 million qualified students between 2001 and 2010 will not receive a college education because they cannot afford it.
Is that evidence good enough for you? Make sure you check out http://collegeaffordabilitynow.org/ and write your congressmen. Making college affordable is part of Pelosi's 100 hours plan, so to quote Tim Gunn "Make it Work!"
Thanks for posting this, I'll definently spread the word!
I can't believe how expensive even the community colleges are. It's criminal and disgusting.
