won't be able to pay off until they are in their 50's when they have
to start thinking of *their* kid's college costs. Plus, starting
salaries for recent grads have dropped for the most part and many
can't think about home ownership.

Where are all these cost increases going?

It is a shame what is happening with the education in this country. Our young people are our greatest asset and they can't even get a good education without having a major expense hanging over their heads.
