When I'm the parent of four children who will incur hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to get a college education, it makes me start to wonder if I should just allow them to become criminals instead, so they can escape the crushing debt. Find a way to fix college tuition to make it affordable, but don't use it to reward criminals.

why don't we just let convicted felons run the country along with illegal immagrants. It seems the more you are a law abiding citizen, the more screwed you get. I will advise my children to commit felons so they can get free college tuition. No reason to obey the laws, right??????

I have been investing in the NYSaves 529 tuition savings program since my daughter was born. In turn the state will give a free education to a felon that I will pay for. No reward for takiing responsibility, obeying the law and investing in your own families future. Unbelievable!

Boy, I guess I've given them the WRONG advice! Talk about a PUNISHMENT for Abiding the Law!!! Years & Years of Debt with High Interest!!! Welcome to NEW YORK!!! Just another reason to get the HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!

Why should be get schooled for free when I couldn't get any financial aid to go to school? They're in prison for a reason. So if i want to get a college education, should I go out and commit a crime to get arrested? This is garbage!

This is just another way of maling it pay to be a criminal and go to jail. Be an honest caring person and pay through the noise to get an eductation etc and also pay for the criminals.
