quietwife -- why do you keep accusing maverjoe of unethical and criminal behavior? If he's not billing the time, then it's his to use as he pleases.

In any case, your point is just weird -- "No , college tuition has always been just as expensive, public subsidies have decreased, so the net cost to you has increased." OK, so in years past big warm fuzzy society subsidies college, and now it's all on the student. How does this prove that maverjoe is wrong about college costs? If anything, this demonstrates that all the youth-bashers have it wrong: in previous decades older folks relied on handouts from society, and nowadays the young have to be self reliant.
