The best cost control method is to make all public colleges free...that will force private institutions to lower their rates to be more competitive with the free option offered by the State.
I don't care if a billionaire's kid goes to free public colleges. Like they would even go to one anyway. And if a billionaire's kid went to public college, they'd get a great crash-course in what life is like for kids whose parents aren't incredibly wealthy. But really, what billionaire or millionaire would send their kid to public school? They already don't, largely.

A lot of great points, and ideas, but
55 is very young with at least 20 and probably 25 or 30 years of life left x that social security check.
I'd rather see more of a 'more jobs created' to fill the need rather than vacate jobs early to make room philosophy
The government is watching our numbers carefully, they have moved the goal post a lot over the years, and never toward younger retirement.
And they are not going to lower the age of retirement , ever. imo
I think there are a lot more people than your stat indicates with a lot less than 250k saved for retirement who are at or very near retirement. I personally know
a lot of people who have taken money out, borrowed money from and otherwise pilfered their retirement savings.
My personal philosophy is to use your real estate property equity as the gap filler. You have to live somewhere anyway and it certainly has a bigger safer return than most investments.
And remember my first point, SS is based on what you put into it. a person who spends his or her life in low paying jobs obviously has chosen to live in lesser means.
And will live in lesser means after retirement also.
I'm not saying SS is perfect or by any means a livable wage. But it is fair, is all I was saying, not racist, or catered to the privileged.
and any attempt to reward someone equally who has not contributed equally is a move toward socialism, just as taking more of some ones money simply because they have more is also.
We are not America because of socialism, we are who we are because of capitalism.
And lets not forget for one second that the Champion supporter of socialism right now (The Bern) is in fact a 1%er because of capitalism.

you do realize the GIs did something to earn their college degree, right?......Was the GI bill a bunch of baby losers avoiding work?

"After the Revolutionary War, the federal government awarded bounty lands to citizens and soldiers for services rendered. In its simplest form, this involved the exchange of free land for military service."
These brave men, many of whom gave up arms and legs in battle, have earned this.
Help with college is a way to acknowledge their sacrifice and thank them for it. Both are greatly appreciated.
Any loons on the left want to dispute this.
Speak right up.
