College Tuition Is Marketing Fraud

I don't know any other business that quotes an outrageously high cost then says, "Well, let me see all your bank accounts and I'll let you know what it's really going to cost you", then gives you a kickback. It is designed to extract the maximum from every customer. If you've got the money, they're going to take the money, otherwise they're going to take all that you've got.

What exactly did you think gen X was going to do about it? How many gen-x-ers do you think were on the board of any of those schools? When they were out voted at the ballot box? Being encouraged to drop out of college because the dot-com boom? When they were encouraged to buy homes at massively inflated prices with zero down and variable rate loans that then crashed? After 9/11 and during 20 years of foreign wars that they went to fight?
