I will never understand the concept that throwing some kid a few bills is "in the best interest of the kids." If you really want to look at this issue from a purely social perspective, what's best for the kids is getting a quality education. That's it. We as a society have lost sight of that. We're so far gone past that concept that people think the only solution is to bail out and pacify people with a dollar or two. That's irresponsible in my opinion. Tear the thing down and start again may be the only way to go. I'm not naive enough to think that colleges will turn their backs on the millions of dollars that they are making. But if they start paying kids, it will not be to do the right thing, it will be to keep their hands on the money.
