The responsible people paid back, the others get a free pass.

My parents paid for my college education. No loans. But, I did drink a lot of beer and ate a lot of pizza.

I disagree with those who say you don't need a college degree. I hate to admit it, but, with a college degree, you can get a Government job and be set for life. No intelligence or competence required, just the piece of paper. The dumber you are, the more you need a college degree.
