Drop all assistance? Jesus, no. My loans and grants pay for all my tuition and books and then extra that helps me live while I'm in school. There isn't a tuition rate that would be affordable to me right now. Thank god for assistance programs!!!!

First of all thanks for the clarification Alex. I appreciate it. I wanted to start a dialogue as it evolves.

I think it is time to think about about ways to make college more affordable other than Government solutions. The fat needs to be cut. If colleges keep raising the costs less and less people will go on to college and the quality of life in our country will go down. If the government steps in to help the colleges are only going to raise the costs. It seems like we're between a rock and a hard place.

Or maybe I am thinking the wrong way about this. Maybe there are people out there that are not really fit or ready for college and the higher costs will keep them away. I don't know.
