Here’s Exactly How Much the Government Would Have to Spend to Make Public College Tuition-Free owl.li/sFNnj Mister President, we thank you for addressing the need to expand college opportunities. As you noted, currently, inequity and inequality are replete. “[T]he United States still has a long way to go to open the door to college for low-income Americans….We have to make sure there are new ladders of opportunity to the middle class.” While your words are sweet, the solutions you propose seem incomplete. We believe that it is not enough to suggest that we “ensure [that] lower-income students aren’t disadvantaged by lack of access to college advisers and [an] inability to prepare for entrance exams.” Remedial programs are fine, but these do nothing to ameliorate the financial bind that comes with pursuit of a college education. As you well know it is the money, honey.
