Corrupt

How means testing for colleges drive prices up for everyone.

One of my big problems with "progressives" and liberals in general is they always try and tinker with systems that work perfectly well.  The whole idea of public universities is a great (and progressive idea) where taxpayers subsidize tuition for everyone.  Therefore, everyone gets the benefit (ie the opportunity to attend such university) and the more general societal benefits of a good university system and educated population.

But I guess this wasn't good enough.  Inequality still exists, so someone gets it in their heads that we can further improve the system by making public universities cheaper for some than others.  Bad idea.

The liberal drive to constantly improve and make better the promise of America is genuine, but it often causes people to needlessly tinker and fix what is not broken.
