<p>*Affordable colleges are making the state go broke? *</p>
<p>No…I didn’t say that. I said that the B&G policy is one ASPECT of what is wrong with California’s money problems. </p>
<p>I have NO problem with having affordable colleges…I support that. </p>
<p>But, the current B&G policy is stupid. A household of 1 (single person aged 24) should not get free tuition if his income is $30 - 79k. </p>
<p>And, a family of 5 with 2 in college SHOULD get B&G if their income is $85k. </p>
<p>And…students should be encouraged to go to their local UC or CSU to reduce need for aid for room, board, etc. Kids who live near UCLA should not be skipping over to Berkeley on the tax-payers dollar just to have the “sleep away” experience.</p>
<p>And…Cal Grants should not go to private universities. Let them figure out their aid. No one has a right to a private education.</p>
