You can't continue to have higher education tuition grow at a multiple of the rate of inflation.

Before I was governor, tuition was skyrocketing, and we stopped that. We capped and then we froze college tuition.

I did my undergraduate work at the University of California when it was still affordable. But tuition keeps on rising.

I now have two kids of my own in college, so I know how important it is that we keep the dream alive for every family and I share the concern about rising tuition costs.

We build schools and give government loans and grants to college kids; for those of us who are parents, tuition will often be the last big subsidy we give the children we've raised.

We can't afford not to fully fund education.

We need to make college affordable in price, and also have lower-cost student loans and more available grants for students.

We don't stop going to school when we graduate.

I am going to put money into education at the expense of other programs.

I definitely want to grow intelligently, but I do want to stay a kid forever!
