We need skilled labor force... we can't just tell the most talented amongst us that they should dig ditches because they can't afford Harvard or Stanford. That would be shooting ourselves in the foot.

Not to mention the EXTREMELY VALUABLE RESEARCH that comes out of public universities, research that private industry USES when crafting new technologies.
Connor people really dont know the history of this country.
Andrew Stephen ("Andy") Grove (born 2 September 1936), is a Hungarian-born American businessman, engineer, and author. He is a science pioneer in the semiconductor industry. He escaped from Communist-controlled Hungary at the age of 20 and moved to the United States where he finished his education. He later became CEO of Intel Corporation and helped transform the company into the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductors. Andy went to City College in NY that was free.
