Solutions for Education:

Reducing College Costs

A Public Bank can greatly reduce the cost of our colleges by lessening the burden of interest we pay on most public projects.

First let’s give you a little historical perspective on this subject.

In 1950 tuition at State Universities was ... FREE!

By 1960 there was some tuition but it was equal to around $400 a year in adjusted dollars.

Even up until the 1970s most State University students would graduate with no debt … even if they went on to get a masters degree!

Now tuition at similar colleges is around $8000 a year and going up quickly. In fact the cost of these colleges has increased over 1200% from 1980.

The average college graduate in the US currently leaves school with roughly $33k in debt, it is illegal for them to file bankruptcy, and they are graduating into a dismal job market where roughly 52% of them can’t find work.

Because of this nearly 30% of young adults under 31 are still living with their parents.

Owning a home is a distant dream. They are struggling just to find work to pay their basic bills and student loans.

Funding for education has faced drastic cuts and there are more on the way.

Where is all the money going?

There are several factors to this topic, but we will show you some of the biggest facets to how our economy (and funding for education) is being drained.

Good News!

There actually is plenty of money to fully fund our college system, and even to greatly relieve student debt, and lower interest rates for student debt.

Education and employment are basic rights. They are cornerstones of freedom, economic competitiveness, and a safe and prosperous society.
