I guess THIS happened to it: "I prefer doing what I want with my money whether it goes to charity education or beer."

If you don't want partisan replies, don't post partisan responses.

Actually I will be in Norway next month. They are doing very well, guess why? Not because of free tuition, it is because they are making billions off offshore oil reserves. Meanwhile, here in America, BHO continues to ban offshore drilling and opening up Alaska.

But back on topic, when you could have a smoke in a bar. If you were really concerned about your health, you wouldn't be in a bar in the first place doing shots.

Once elected, Mr. Reagan set the educational tone for his administration by:

a. calling for an end to free tuition for state college and university students,

b. annually demanding 20% across-the-board cuts in higher education funding,[2]

c. repeatedly slashing construction funds for state campuses

d. engineering the firing of Clark Kerr, the popular President of the University of California, and

e. declaring that the state "should not subsidize intellectual curiosity,

When attended a Cal State in the '80's, I paid $350 a semester for as many unit as I wanted to take. UC's were $400...

College education cost is a good topic, why don't you start a thread VL and tell us why it costs so much in 2012? I never said it should be free, just affordable without taking on massive debt... like it used to be in the 80s. I don't have a problem with taxes funding public universities, around 50-50 would be fair I think.
