What disturbs me is the idea that students are totally out of it and get showered with grants and gifts to go to school. I’m paying my own way for school and never seen a dollar of free money from the government. I see it all the time at school.
College is a business now. There is a spigot of government money to be had. Witness the number of seudo-Universities that do not educate, but charge insane amounts of money for degrees.
I saw an 20/20 special the other night: Stupid in America. It was very interesting. (I think Stossel is great anyways).
