The more difficult you make it for people from a poorer background to get to college. The more likely you will end up with an big underclass of ill educated people resentful of those who had all the breaks. Worst of all these people will be paying less taxes simply because they are poorer and for more likely to end up as a burden on the taxpayers.
Not everyone should go to college but those who benefit from it should have the option.
That isn't a bad thing though, the USA is going to *need* a large underclass of ill educated people to "compete" in the world economy and make the well-educated (probably overseas in a few years) elite more money.
Remember, we are competing with a world who thinks $2 a day is a LOT of money. How many Mexicans squeeze into a one bedroom apartment now?
Double that, and you'll have the American "standard of living" in 20 years.
