Is college ruining the eonomy?
Our working class is in shambles, government funding is out of control, EPA out of control with regulation and a corporate tax that is one of the highest in the world,Now Im the first to say how important a education is but are we misleading our youth on a spree to make ourselves feel better. We encourage and give grants to everyone and their dog to go to college only to find that once we are out we are in a economy that has no gains our people who can buy. By the majority of Americans getting a college education are we losing our working class and the means to begin new buisness?

Absolutely not. The people running (ruining) this economy are the business people who are too afraid to commit to doing anything and are just sitting on the sidelines. If they would open up their wallets and expand their business the American people would respond and reward them
