Here's a little statistic that may be surprising to some of you.
Slightly less than 37% of those between the ages of 25-30 have a 4-year college degree.
Slightly less than 30% of those 55 and older have a 4-year college degree.

So the issue is, do we have a plan for all those people who didn't go to college, or is the plan to try to push them all through college, and basically abandon hope for those who don't make it?
To further clarify, the point I am trying to make is there are a lot of people here who say the solution to our economic problems is to divert a lot more public tax funds into providing free college education.
I was just pointing out that that notion is unrealistic, if we are talking about helping the majority of the people that have been left behind and need help.
