Could you link to this legislation, Senator?

I looked for it but could not find it.

As Karen019 has already brought this to my attention I am happy to sponsor this in the Southern Chamber, in the non delegate's slot, should you be amicable to that.

When the policy of "college aid" speaking in general terms amounts to essentially throwing gasoline on the fire of tuition inflation without any consideration, to the second and third order of events, one can be little surprised that the end result is massive inflation year on year.

The simple reality is that our colleges have become bloated cesspools for grift, pyramid schemes and in some cases outright fraud because of in part the way that college is funded.

Any time you create a captured demand, combine it with endless access to in many cases debt financing to pay for it, there is absolutely no incentive for the colleges to deliver a decent education, much less do so at a reasonable cost.

For those who advocate for free college, it has to be asked whether they are willing to accept the kind of radical alterations to the college landscape that would be necessary to make that possible. Its kind of ironic, because both the socialized model and the libertarian model if implemented properly, would lead to the same place, a gutting of bloated staffs, degrees to nowhere and the resort like atmosphere.

I find it really sad we are just two days from the election and the Federalist nominee hasn't even made a campaign thread yet.  Very low energy.  If you want to win you need to do more.
