But yes, I would assume nearly everyone feels that the cost of college is too high.
A big reason for that is because banks were (are) willing to loan out the money if students couldn't pay for it themselves, so colleges didn't feel the need to lower their costs. They knew they'd get the money one way or another.
When you're a country who has a core principle surrounding the concept of "make as much money as possible," it's no surprise that most people/companies don't try to keep costs lower out of the kindness of their heart.
Greed really is the American dream.
it's not greed buddy. it's capitalism. it's free market. it's taking responsibilty. it's what this nation was built on. if you want something, you work for it. you make sacrifices. you succeed or fail by the amount of blood, sweat and tears you put into it. you don't ask for handouts or bailouts, or freebies or free rides. in this country if you want something it'[s there for the taking. you jusy have to be willing to put in the effort and not look to everyone else to do it for you.
