Per the author, “higher education is a very good investment” (Eskow). By comparing current student aid expenditures with potential government spending without tuition fees, the author shows that the latter option would cause lower costs. This logical analysis forms the basis for the argument that making higher education free is a financially smart decision. The argument supports the claim that barriers to higher education are an economic burden. The author refers to higher education as a "powerful tool" that can boost a country’s economy.

Government cuts in education funding have driven tuition prices up and these government funding decisions have made college less affordable and less accessible for students. Jonathan Glater, a professor at Berkeley Law, claims, “Direct appropriations and state support of public colleges have failed to keep pace with rising institutional costs. This is due at least in part to difficult economic times that have forced state governments to make hard fiscal choices” (Glater 1573). Rising education costs have made college less affordable and has shifted education costs from the government to students. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, “the average tuition and fees for first-time full-time undergraduate students in academic year 2021–22 was $9,700 for public institutions, which is 6 percent higher than $9,100 in 2010– 11” (“COE”).
