The Affordable College Education

An Article written by Keith Ellison on April 14, 2016, published by the American Prospect, argues that college education should be affordable and accessible to all students. The author concludes that since America is considered the wealthiest in the history of the world; therefore, the country owns the ability to support the expenses for all seeking college students, and that college will be some affordable options to all American Families.
