I have four grown step-children and three of them have substantial college loan debt. And I expect a lot of your sons and daughters face a similiar situation.

But is this the only option? How about we invest in our children and subsidize college education for Montana youth?

And in exchange - before or after they graduate - they repay the subsidy with their time and do public service? They can work in hospitals, with the elderly, in the forests, in schools etc. Heck…if we’re going to subsidize big corporations to grow profits, why don’t we subsidize small families to grow great kids with bright futures?
