Time to start cutting some of the overhead and waste.
Let's just make college harder and harder for people to afford so only the wealthy can afford it, sounds like a great world.
Our values in this country are so backwards it isn't even funny. In other countries you have very affordable (sometimes free) college, and you also have healthcare as a right. They put a huge priority on investing in the people, and they understand how important it is to have an educated society.
Not in America, it's exactly the opposite. We're trying to dumb down the people and have them uneducated, poor, not in good health, etc..... and then they will elect guys like Trump for president because they don't know any better.
It just drives me insane what we tell the kids of this country. Yeah, you should go to college, but unfortunately only the top 5% of people can afford it, so you better hope your'e born into a wealthy family, or too bad.
Inflation? Costs go up. My company raises the price of its products every August. I don't have a problem with this at all.

Might want to slow down on that whole making health care a "right" concept. It it's truly your right to have it, then someone has to be compelled to provide it to you. I'd rather have a voluntary exchange of those goods and services myself. That seems to work very well in the rest of life. As for tuition, yes the rate of increase in higher education costs is much higher than the rate of inflation. But what's causing it? Very little discussion of that in the public policy debate. Hint: study the increase in non-teaching staff positions that have been added at universities over the past two to three decades. After that, check out all the amenities that have been added on a lot of campuses. It's probably very emotionally satisfying to rail about evil forces conspiring to deny health care and education but it doesn't get you any closer to an answer as to how to actually address the problems we face in these areas.
Time to Cut Taxes for the Wealthy?

Of course! Then they will voluntarily pass it down to the rest of us out of the goodness of their hearts. This new Trumpcare takes millions off of healthcare while padding the pockets of the wealthy, and at the same time college costs are skyrocketing and becoming unaffordable for all but the rich.
Someone earlier pointed to ISU's increases in enrollment as evidence that it isn't unaffordable..... uh..... wut? Just because you go to college doesn't mean it's affordable. More and more kids are graduating 100's of thousands in debt and not making enough money to ever climb out of it.

So you don't understand supply and demand, then.
