    Average cost of college is under $150k/person

    My guy, what? Tuition prices in the US are fucked, but “under $150k/person” is such a weird way to put $25,290

      That’s for 1 year’s tuition. I looked up the average for 4 years plus books, supplies, fees, etc.

        You’re talking to the average gullible idiot who falls for “fiscal conservative policies”, this is how they always frame gov spending or anything else, leaving out 80% of the costs, ignoring the bigger picture. Also always being confidently incorrect.

        That must be heavily skewed by expensive out-of-state colleges. I’m finding average yearly in-state tuition costs quoted between $7-10k.
