"The greatest trick Donald Trump has played during the 2016 campaign might be getting the Republican Party to nominate a lover of big government.
As Trump continues to roll out his policy proposals, he keeps wading into the kind of anti-free market, activist government territory that Republicans usually avoid like the plague.
While Hillary Clinton is talking about making public colleges tuition free, Trump made his own counterproposal Thursday night: Force colleges to make tuition cheaper ... by threatening them. Trump said he would withhold tax breaks from colleges who don't use their endowments to reduce the cost of tuition."
Donald Trump loves him some big government - The Washington Post
"Donald Trump is an unusual Republican frontrunner for many reasons. But the strangest of all may be that, in a party slavishly devoted to the nostrum that government can’t solve your problems, Trump loves government. He clearly doesn’t know a damn thing about it. But he believes that, with him in charge, the U.S. government can do virtually anything."

FORCE COLLEGES TO MAKE TUITION CHEAPER
College costs have gone up dramatically yet, people continue to pay. We have government loans etc, IT IS SIMPLE ECONOMICS-more money chasing goods or services and the price goes up-INFLATION.
RE: endowment funds
First of all they grow TAX FREE. They are viewed as an annuity paying out a defined number of dollars per year.
When, the economy goes down you would suggest they should pull out more but, they actually have less new money coming in so pulling more would reduce the amount in the account so reduce dividend income. Unlike a human the school assumes it will live forever.
THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES-I have a four year degree but went to a two year school first where the COST was far less. I worked before going to college and I worked while going to college. When I graduated, I had gone through all or my savings, AND WITH MY PARENTS HELP, I still owed 13,000. I BORROWED THE MONEY-SO MY NOW WIFE AND I PAID IT BACK. We did not expect or demand that the government, or the rich or?????? pay my bill.
By the way, in today's dollars 13,000 is roughly 78,000
