When he said they could pay the same way as they do for computers and cell phones, through a true market based price system. An IBM 5150 PC in 1981 cost $3000 and now we have $20 calculators with more capability. Interested in knowing what the average tuition was in 81 versus today. Its so simple at times its sad:(

Man I was blown away that people actually cheered for that I thought people were too stupid to understand what he was getting at.

I also liked his soundbyte that the Tax Code is just the symptom, that spending is the disease.

Great point. I know plenty of college kids who will happily line up and wait for 5 hours and pay $600 for a new iPhone and another $600 for a new iPad. Yet they get pissed off when their FASFA paperwork takes longer than usual to clear.
