I read it as, "Everyone should be required to attend not only high school, but 2 years of higher education after that." That is what I was arguing against. And I feel that the necessary programs are already in place for people that want to go to college, but can't afford it. How do I know? I'm one of those people. My family isn't on welfare, and they help out occasionally when they can, but I pay for the majority of my education/housing/food/books/whatever via loans and grants.
I'm not trying to demean you in anyway, I honestly don't know: was the FAFSA around when you went to school? Did you ever use it? Do you know what it is? It is a GREAT resource for people without money that want an education. I was offered ~$8,000 per semester this year in grants and loans. That covers everything I need it to.
