Dec 2016

I struggled to get my daughter the same education I had. When I went the State paid $12 dollars for every one in tuition. Now it is less than three. I paid $154 dollars a semester. I paid over $5000 for her. Now she is a 1st grade teacher making less than the cost of her education. What about my grandchildren? This is all down hill.
