I was a rural kid. A poor kid. I went from poverty to a graduate degree thanks to public schools, teachers, and Pell Grants.
We need public schools. We need to fund higher education.

Public school, affordable college:
47 years as a practicing software developer. Wife has similar story, 40 years in private practice. Neither of us "comes from money".
Doing taxes right now.... Affordable education has a VERY high return on investment.
The Rethuglicon desire is not.
I think it's worth looking at *who* is trying to act superior to others in this country, over the last 10 years and now too. Lots of people do it, it's kind of the backbone of social media.
They are a major inconvenience.
They want their children to get educated so the kids inherit their thrones.
The rest of us? Irrelevant for their goals.
Myl only dispute that the college system is full of waste. Administrations are money pits that don't give a damn about students. Fix it and then fund it.
Good luck!
