College enrollment is falling at a 'concerning' rate, new data reveals

12. Yes, US colleges today are very good

I meant that after the middle class can no longer afford colleges and universities, their quality will become questionable.

When I went to college years ago, state and federal funds were the main financial support for most colleges and universities that the middle class frequently went to. Tuition was never considered the main funding source for higher education. I paid $300 a semester to go to Temple University in Philadelphia and I got scholarships to attend.

At that price, a good summer job would cover expenses. Not so much today.

If we would tax people like Trump and Musk we would have enough of a tax base to go back to being the main source of funding for higher education. But it is no longer a priority to educate our citizens in the US. It's more important to Americans to give the filthy-rich a tax break.
