Socialism is great until you run out of money!

So these are state-run universities only, or ALL universities?

$14K per year sounds about right here in the US, and that is what they are protesting. Current rates are about 1/3 of that, or around $3.5 PER YEAR. My college (at IUPUI) was over $5K/year 20 YEARS AGO. Not sure of the rates now, but I'm sure they didn't go down.

We couldn't afford to send our Daughter to IU so she got her own loans and worked her way through.
(She's my hero!!)
She has a great job and will have her loans paid off shortly.
Why the Hell can't others do that??
Because the Nanny State promises to do it for them!
Lazy asshats!!!
