“In a highly competitive global economy, we need the best-educated workforce in the world. It is insane and counter-productive to the best interests of our country and our future, that hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college, and that millions of others leave [university] with a mountain of debt that burdens them for decades. That short-sighted path to the future must end.”
