Money is the problem

In my classmates' recent blog post Should The Government Pay For My Tuition, she discusses the problem of paying such high tuition to go to a 4-year university. She talks about how the cost has steadily been increasing every year and how now financial aid just does not cut it anymore. The pressure this puts on those in middle class or lower causes them the to not want to even attempt enrolling into college for fear of debt that will never go away because most only qualify for loans and those loans don't amount to half of a semester's tuition most of the time. This causes our workforce to diminish because so many bright and new graduates cannot pursue their desired career simply because they can't afford it.
She offers a solution to increasing the financial aid while at the same time increasing funding from the government. I agree that by increasing it, we would be able to support more recent high school graduates and encourage more of them to enroll into a university. This will also, in turn, increase our workforce and the quality of our workforce because we will have more bright minds to increase it with.
