It’s going to widen the gap between the rich and the poor and eliminate a lot of the middle class. If the tuitions continue to increase, our children will not be able to experience the American Dream. |

The masses of people are not able to afford college. The state government should invest in the future by providing tuition aid to qualified students. |

Young people have to look for ways to finance their education, because the resources are out there and we are not taking advantage of them. |
