I think it is clear that we need to redefine how we talk about the total cost of college.

We have a Pell Grant program that effectively acts as an entitlement, but we do not fund it that way.

We have millions and millions of workers who scramble every month just to pay back their loans.

The data is clear that a college degree or credential, including an Associate's Degree, is necessary to compete in today's economy.
