He’s a Bush. He’s an uber-Christian and he wants to show his compassion to these less fortunates with other peoples’ money.
And he will not get my vote.
There are undoubtedly those out there who think I worked for years to line up the cascade event on Google that resulted in that tuition question targeting Perry, but they'd be wrong ~ 2 months, tops!
BTW, Romney got the money wrong. His fact checkers used the wrong tables. If they'd used the most recent Texas tuition guide he'd gotten the correct number ~ $24,000 subsidy per head.
There's your guide to Romney. He himself doesn't have enough knowledge of college tuition, nor the importance of instate rates to so many tens of millions of American families, to make sure his peeps USE the right numbers.
Guy like that could give away the show in a New York second without another thought.
Did you know that the current tuition rates in Texas for out of state undergraduates are $500 more per year than Yale University!
I suspect that's to send a message to Americans to just stay away from Texas schools!
