Maybe This can change if the Progressive policy of free college tuition is implemented. It worked before. When I was at Cal (1963-1968), tuition was $100 per year But it wasn't called "tuition" because Cal was a public institution and didn't charge "tuition".

The progressive policy of free education is being strangled by the progressively policy of spending money on other things. California's budget and revenues have grown massively in the past 40-50 years (which is when I'm guessing you paid $100). We just spend our money differently. During that same period, the public higher ed systems has become pretty bloated and inefficient.

And to be fair, non-progressives also have different priorities, both in terms of spending and tax cuts. The larger point is that we have money to make UC cheap - we just spend it elsewhere.

Yes, like pensions for public employees.

The pension gap

"If you're asking me, with everything I've learned in the last 17 years, would I have signed SB 400. no, I would not have signed it," Davis, now 73, said in a recent interview at his Century City law office.

Gee, thanks. I voted to recall Gray Davis and I am glad I did. What a disaster he was! And a Stanford grad to boot!
