Post #6

This week I read an article in the New York Times about how the cost of college is rising at an alarming rate. This is even more dangerous now, because we are in a recession, and that causes the prices to seem higher than they are. There are also very dangerous trends that are continuing, such as the amount of people that have to borrow money has doubled in the last 10 years. I think that there needs to be a solution to this problem, because not only middle class or rich people should have the opportunity to go to college, but the less fortunate also. If we keep feeding this trend for more years to come, higher education will become a rare commodity, when we should be pushing for it to become a necessity in today's world, so that we can compete with other countries, and improve the lives of everyone in our country.
