I believe we are over reaching when we as a government think we should sponsor free college education... The system we have now works.... I believe AHA did us more damage than good but its here and whining about it serves no purpose... Those who think your right wing congress is going to do away with it are going to be disappointed.
Even with Keys money, most folks in the middle still pay a CRAP TON in tuition, and cannot afford to send kids to UK or U of L. Try again though. You obviously have not looked into college lately.

With regards to public education......I'm all for it. GET the federal gubment and their crap out of it. We sit near the bottom of education, yet pay the most of ANY country for education. Yep. Here it comes.......I blame your wonderful UNION. Pay teachers based on performance....evaluate them every year, and hold them accountable for their results.

Pay the ones that are good, and fire the ones that are not. FIX education in less than a decade......guaranteed.

Oh, and go back to the days when if you bad mouthed a teacher, you got your butt paddled by the teacher, the principal, and when you got home, your DAD came within inches of murdering you. Those DAYS, you didn't have kids body slamming a teacher because he took your cell phone. But hey, that is a whole different story for another day.
