What most don't realize is that over the past couple of years, the tuition in private universities have nearly doubled and the tuition in public universities have nearly tripled. Almost 60% of college graduates leave college in debt. Barack Obama with the help of Joe Biden wish to create a new American Opportunity Tax Credit. They want to make sure that students are covered for the first 4,000 of their tuition and it will help them pay two thirds of the tuition at a public from of higher education. They want to help the students of low-income families, so that they will get the money they need to further themselves and create the building blocks for a higher and better future.

"In the end, this is not about growing the size of government or relying on the free market -- because it's not a free market when we have a student loan system that's rigged to reward private lenders without any risk. It's about whether we want to give tens of billions of tax dollars to special interests or whether we want to make college more affordable for eight and a half million more students." //-- President Barack Obama[|obama]//
