Let's do some math...300,000,000 Citizens, Approx. 16% between 18-21 (48,000,000). Lets say 40% (maybe higher or lower) of them want college education (7,680,000). 10% get schlorships (768,000 - let's say 3% get full=23,400), 10% get Grants and/or Loans (768,000). That leaves the 20% (6,144,000) who are not eligible or dont have the resources to learn/or Get either. 80 billion (PLUS MORE..if you cant taxes also) was spent on a war. Im not saying give all that money away to College Education ....This all im saying!!!
I may have missed some things...Not very good at math!!! This is just Estimates. Actually i think the College Percentage is lower then 40%..Meaning MORE MONEY!!!
80,000,000,000/6,144,000= $13,000 (each) put to American kids who cant catch a break financially for school.
80,000,000,000/7,680,000=$10,416 (each) can be added to grant money, so parents/students wont have such much money to pay back to banks/loans.

Um........No ! I dont think so. With what money will we defend ourselves? A lot of that money does go to collage. GI bill has to be paid. I think that maybe it would be better to try to get the Universitys to lower costs for an education. I believe that professors and teachers are way overpaid. How about them taking a pay cut to help more people learn?
