Make the colleges pay

Must every young boy and girl aspire to have a university education? This delusion has become so strong in America that many on the left demand that not only should more and more young people get into universities, but that this four-year party should be free as well.   But efforts to get Congress to appropriate the money to pay the college bar tab have failed thus far. The chief obstacle, by no means unreasonable, is how to convince the supposedly uneducated working class to pay for this sotted campus idyll of which they have had no part.
