This is the crux of our issue. On the face of it, it sounds like a great idea, same with so many of California's social programs. But then you realize that other states either don't have that program at all, or don't fund it anywhere near the level we do and you realize why we're bankrupt. No one's saying college is a bad thing, but the money to pay for it has to come from somewhere, and we ain't got it. Neither do most states. Don't like it? Go to an LSU or Ol Miss instead of UCLA and see the difference. Even with the cuts, our system is still far better funded than most states'.
