tuition increases
 

Am I the only one in CA that can connect the dots? Give free education away in the name of the "Dream Act" to some, and then raise the rates for others??? Students are protesting, but they are not acknowledging the real dilemma. Sheesh.

I've never been a fan of "Student protests, but I have to agree that our kids are being screwed royally. The consequences of losing a war they never even realized was being waged against them....until after it was lost.

I looked at the 2010-2011 budget and it spent 122 billion and this budget is 129 billion and the state played 3 card monte with money that doesn't show up. Now the schools will use phoney numbers to raise the fees and tuition and they all the teachers will get a big pay raise and in 6 months the state will give colleges 5 billion and they will get another pay raise and again raise costs. This is a way for the colleges to pay their employees the budget is full of lies and tricks.

I've seen this for a couple of years. It looks dismal for my two girls, because they are Americans!

It saddened me to read your post because I know it's true. Besides you and a handful of other Americans, virtually no one speaks for your girls or millions of other American children who have been officially relegated to second class citizenship.
