   That's because the government is footing the bill for a large number of those   
   `going' on student loans.   
      
   Any time you get the government (make that read `taxpayers') paying out money   
   to fund something...outfits are gonna milk it for everything they can get.   
      
   My anger gets raised whenever I see some high-falutin professor or in   
   industrialist get in front of  microphone and start off by saying how honest   
   and upright their `opponent' or competitor `ought' to be...and then without   
   batting an eye start talking about how `costs' are going up so their prices or   
   tuition is going up as well!    
      
   A good example of that was the `$600 ash trays they were installing in jet   
   aircraft built for the military. That would have made me, as a congressman   
   on a military purchasing committee, demand a close scrutiny of any and all   
   government contracts set up for the military. They probably never did. Or if   
   the did it was quickly glossed over because the `taxpayer' is the biggest    
   cash cow in the nation!
