What!!! Borrow money with the hopes that you are investment savvy and can earn a return on the borrowed funds to pay for your children's education... What ever happened to saving money for future needs... This mindset of borrow today and maybe pay back tomorrow is what got the US into the mess it's in now...

Ahh, more socialized services funded by the tax payer... No thank you... Plus, the public education system in the US is in shambles... I can't imagine how bad colleges & universities would be if the government ran the show...
