Twenty-five years ago, I created the Taxpayer Protection Pledge at the federal level. Then I brought it to the state and local level.

The higher amount you put into higher education, at the federal level particularly, the more the price of higher education rises. It's the dog that never catches its tail. You increase student loans, you increase grants, you increase Pell grants, Stafford loans, and what happens? They raise the price. ↗
