just who should pay to educate our future Americans?

Good morning John,

Certainly that is one approach to gaining both an education and learning financial responsibility.  I say, learning financial responsibility because I want to believe that we agree that most responsible parents are teaching their children to be responsible Beings. 

But why demand that our children pay for the education that we hope and pray they will put to good use as adults?  Are we not preparing them to take over the serious business of advancing our well being as a nation?  Don't we expect them to lead America into greener pastures than we were able to do?  Why do we always place a dollar value to everything we do?  Money is not our God.  But hope, and belief in our future comes closer.  If we have enough Faith in our own children to lead us into a brighter future, isn't it enough that we be the ones to sacrifice and pay for their education?  After all, the education is not free.  It is a question of who pays for it.  I say that it must be us who put up the dollars.  The parents, grandparents and believers in children.  We are leaving them a big enough mess that they will have plenty to do without having to buy back their freedom.

Hello Carl and others:

Why not get a loan, and then pay it back later, when a person gets a job. They could even implement something like an automatic  deduction out of their pay check.

Get an education, and learn responsibility at the same time.
