[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 751313, member: 16024"] One other thing that is not being addressed is the cost of college, and their culpability in this student debt debacle. Tuition going up 10-12% every year, fees and other costs going up, exorbitant salaries, way too many employees doing things that we really don’t have to have on a campus, all contribute to this. Back when my mom went to college, her parents (a factory worker and a government worker who also ran a farm) were able to pay for the private college for her and her sister (two years apart in age) without taking out loans or taking from their retirement savings. College costs were in reach of the average middle-class family who didn’t live above their means, without anyone going into debt. Currently, that is very difficult for most middle class families, and either young adults are going into serious debt, or parents jeopardize their future by raiding their retirement savings. [/QUOTE]
