Congressman Bratt, why don't you lead by example of Socrates training Plato on a rock (as the cost of education.) Rebate your students the cost of your salary, benefits, office overhead, etc. Everything except the cost of your desk (today's version of the rock.) Ask all educators to do the same (not retroactive but going forward.)

Oh - the rock is still there. Plato abandoned it after Socrates stopped showing up when he was starving to death.
