I understand what you’re saying about the cost of college, but your comment sounded almost like a liberal wanting free stuff....

What can justify one textbook costing $200? Last semester, he had an engineering textbook that cost $225. They barely used it. A history book costs about $100. Higher education is a racket.

Books aren't free- buy $200? It's the 4th Edition. Last year was the 3rd Edition. The 3rd Edition is obsolete. What changes have been in the field of Calculus in the past year?

Price gouging is how the leftist education system makes money. A professor writes a book, and the students are forced to buy it at an astronomical amount.
