California's War On Education

Leaders of California's public universities voted yesterday to raise undergraduate fees 10% next year. Another bright idea in a plethora of mistakes made by academia and state government officials. As if the burden of a dream of a higher education by the states youth isn't distant enough, lets heap more debt onto the shoulders of these students. This all means the cost of a college education in California will have risen 70% since 2001-even when adjusted for inflation. These idiots seem to forget that this country was made great by education followed by innovation, and college is the direct path to an innovative society, without it we cannot compete on an increasingly globalized platform. These decision makers were quoted as saying the plan will take from the rich and give to the poor, in the form of additional available capitol for student loans. In order for that comment to be correct you would have to assume that a disproportionate amount of students are from the silver spoon club with affluent parents, i bet if you run the numbers its the polar opposite with more students obtaining loans with interest rates to be paid back after completing their education. These individuals should do the right thing and keep their mouths shut.
