The average American college graduate is in debt $35,000 for their education. That burden comes at a time when good jobs are hard to find. And the cost of higher education is going up at a remarkable pace. Since US Person graduated from law school college tuition and fees have risen 1,120%, four times faster than the increase in the consumer price index. In comparison over the same time period health care costs have increased 601% and food 244%. A healthy democracy depends on an educated electorate to counteract an entrenched corporate plutocracy; a dumbed-down populace is easier to control. These days America's democracy is snake bit.
