Vice President Joe Biden talked about ever getting higher college tuition and the costs in Florida. The students and professors asked him some very good questions; how is this administration help lower the tuition? How does the Federal government do with the local state cutting aids colleges and universities? Does the government's quantitative easing have anything to do with the tuition rises? How can the new graduates find jobs?
The Vice President emphasized the importance of higher education and said that the US universities are the best in the world. The overall ranking of student performance, however, is lagging at 16th in the world. When 62% of the jobs requires higher than high school degree, we should invest in higher education. The Internet would not be around if President Eisenhower did not put money on the DARPA project. Imagine a world without the Internet; we regard the advancement of technology as a blessing and not as a threat.
Meanwhile, two thirds of the students need student loans to go to colleges and universities. The college tuition went up twice as fast as the cost of living in the last two decades. The Obama Administration help bypass the financial institutes for the student loans; saved $60 billion. Most importantly, if the Congress does not act to extend the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, the rates will double in July.
