Now I'm really scared. I'm in the toddler years and thought if I could get them both out of diapers, my life would get easier. Don't tell me anything more :) Shit. Now I’m really scared.

It is the mal-tuition. Here in Illinois, the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana wanted $19,000 for tuition, room and board for 2006 - 2007. Then they cavalierly tell you to "add approximately" another $3,700 for virtually all science, engineering and business majors. And you mean Georgie has been getting it wrong since Texas? Didn't his daddy learn him nothin'? You are so right, Chuck. It is the mal-tuition.

The extra income is to give to them. Now with three kids in college (and not wanting to go into debt), the University of Houston says it is going to increase tuition and fees 12.5% this fall. This is on top of 14% or so last fall. We have a balanced budget state that relies on projection. When George Bush was governor the mispredicted by a tad shy of $9 billion for his last two years in office. (I have to figure at this point that he gets nothing right). After he left they had to cover this tap and the future deficit. So they took the $9 billion away from the public colleges and university and "deregulated" tuition. The legislature then acted shocked that tuition and fees would rise so dramatically so the university system could fill the $9 billion hole. And, you thought diapers were expensive.
