While many people in the United States look for higher education after high school, financial barriers are in the way for a lot of these students due to rising college tuition costs. Although these high prices are seen as a negative by most, arguments have been made that they may actually be a good thing.

The bottom line is that the high and rising cost of college isn’t a good thing and reduces the amount of qualified workers.
Luis Cholotío-García ENC1102 – Professor Fiedler April 24, 2012 Research Project The Fiscal Effects of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform The critics of immigration reform declare that legalizing 11.5 million immigrants will cost billions of dollars, which will increase the federal debt. Moreover, they blame the undocumented population for taking the jobs of American citizens, and for contributing negatively to the recession that the country is currently experiencing.

Dear Honorable Titian: I understand the House of Representatives of the United States has just passed a bill which would do away with federal grants to college students. I am currently enrolled in college and depend greatly on the grants I receive. These grants allow great opportunity, for not just me, but for many other students as well.

Student Loan Debt Recently, the issue of student loans and the debt often accumulated through the utilization of those loans has come to the forefront. Student loans have become an indispensible means by which families are able to pay for higher education. The cost to attend institutions of higher education has soared over the last decade.

Now that Americans owe more on student loans than on credit cards, the issue of spiraling student debt has moved increasingly higher on the political agenda.
Income inequality is an ongoing discussion and battle amongst the United States. However, it is not the problem with our economy. Money has been extensively put towards education to raise test scores, but it has not.

In the beginning of her essay, Wenke states that she saw cheating take place in her own high school quite frequently. It was a daily occurrence her for to see cheating going on in the school cafeteria, and that she often saw students passing around homework and exam answers.
