The cost of a private university is far more than 7,500, in fact it is frequently inthe range of $30k - 40k (numbers contain campus living, courses, incidentals, etc from the colleges estimates, I checked 2 years ago when I myself was applying, so minus on campus living would be in the range of $15-25k). Public Universities (not City Colleges or State Colleges) generally are closer to 7,500, the UC I go to is 6k per year.
Either way, its no surprise that the public education system is being dismantled. Even the secondary schools are bad for students. No child left behind is synonymous with no child can go farther, learn more, or be excellent. Its stagnating our greater minds.

I believe he's talking about primary and secondary schools.
I'm undecided about vouchers. I think they should be tried in some districts to see how they work. The argument against the point that the vouchers won't help the very poor is that it would be enough money to put them into parochial school. The counterargument to that argument is predictable and deals with church and state.
