Here's the only random article a quick search found: http://durbin.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=268492<BR/><BR/>2. Good point about sticker price. Thing is, of course, I have to base my savings on that sticker price. I can't predict what college will REALLY cost. Plus, if my plan works and I'm fabulously wealthy, I'll end up paying full sticker price.

It's like with buying home computers, where you have to sort through all the variables like "not including monitor" in order to really compare apples to apples price-wise.<BR/><BR/>And I've yet to see any convincing data showing that federal funding cuts are the cause. Of course the colleges and universities will keep saying it for the next 30 years as they have for the past 30. Federal Pell Grants, for example, rose from $8.7 billion in 2001 to $13 billion in 2006 -- but right now in DC the college/university spokespeople are wringing their hands over the small decrease from 2005 to 2006. Guess which number will make it into the next NY Times article about rising tuitions?Paul Bottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408795160241389856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36558477.post-40504041843563680712007-03-29T00:04:00.000-05:002007-03-29T00:04:00.000-05:00It IS progressive, but I can't escape the fact tha...It IS progressive, but I can't escape the fact that the price for this education is going up much faster than inflation, due to federal funding cuts. U of I is predicting annual 6% increases between now and the time my child would get there, 17 years from now.Stephen Dronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456748773733063682noreply@blogger.com
