So I'm watching Choose or Lose on Mtv (today's episode is actually quite brilliant - they asked a young man just back from Iraq, who's only reason for enlisting was to pay for college, to interview each candidate) and General Wesley Clark said his plan is for every high school graduate who's parents make less than $100,000 a year to receive $6,000 for the first year of college and another $6,000 for the second. Which is pretty impressive. Every kid who wanted to could at least afford an associates degree or to attend a state university (though, obviously, they'd have to come up with funding for the second two years, but still, a huge improvement). But how does he plan to do this? And, as big of a proponent of education as I am, perhaps those hundreds of thousands (millions?) of dollars would be better spent on elementary, middle, and high schools? I dunno.
