In fact, City College, before it was the city university, was tuition free for a very, very long time. And it was one of the great universities in the world. Wasn't some dumpy place in Vermont. We had state colleges that if you were a Vermonter, tuition free. And again, all over the country. So we have regressed in saying that if some 19 year old kid goes to college today, doesn't have any money, leave school 50, $70,000 in debt, go to medical school, come out $500,000 in debt.
