Try going to college. The "fees" are like 20-25% of the "tuition" at many state schools. it is their way of making tuition "cheaper."
I left 20 years ago and was planning on moving back but seeing how things were during the Bush years I stayed away. Thought things would change with Obama but with Gates and Geithner, I've realized that those in power are still in power even though the President changes. Visiting the US is fine but I'll never move back. You see things differently once you leave the States.

That's the problem with the two party system. They can just keep blaming eachother ad infinitum, since they're both really on the same side. They allow the dumb voters to express their anger at the party that is currently in office. The republicans run the national debt up, get voted out, then the democrats raise taxes to pay for it. Rinse, wash, and repeat. Until we have a choice outside the military industrial complex/cronie capitalist regime, there will be no difference in the way the us government governs.
What happens in the US has a habit of coming over the the UK. I'll therefore give it 2 years till the traffic accident bills start arriving through the post here in the UK.
But a real shock came a week later, when a letter arrived from the city billing her $316 for the cost of responding to the accident. ------------------------------------------- This is the logical conclusion of Chris Rock's "What do you want? cookie." "I take care of my kids" "What do you want a cookie?" "You moron, you're supposed to take care of your kids." We have been conditioned to getting something extra for doing what we are supposed to do. Now we will pay for responders to do what they are supposed to do with the tax dollars we already pay for.
