Arguments against child care fee have been hollow

TO THE EDITOR:

I have heard exactly zero serious arguments against increasing the student child care fee.

Not everyone who goes to school can be a white"" upper-middle class male whose parents or a nice scholarship pay for their whole lives. It is disgustingly inhuman to say things like ""it's their own fault"" or ""they can pay for it some other way.""

Have they done the math of the fee times the number of students?

Nobody could ever find that kind of money through the government.

Have fun paying hundreds of dollars in taxes after you graduate because you wouldn't pay $10 now.

You'd think that at a school where students are required to take at least a couple classes on social problems" people would maybe know what they're talking about before they open their mouths.

The selfishness and short-sightedness of this student body is embarrassing.
