Lamar Alexander actually said...

"You can't afford to go to college, when, in fact, if we give you accurate information about it, you could."

"So, basically, if you reverse the process and say, 'We'll tell you earlier how much money you can get, and then you can pick the college,' ... a lot more students will go to college."

"I think we've perpetuated this fiction that you can't afford to go to college when, in fact, you can."

"There are plenty of things that we do that are less important than this, if we want to keep a high standard of living."
