Rick Santorum calls president Obama a snob. The basis of this vile comment is because the President would like all Americans to go to college. This is a great ideal. This is one of the American Dreams.

The big issue for Rick Santorum is whether he would like his children to attend college. There is obvious a conflict. He would want college for his children but not for all American children. He would prefer that other parents encourage their children to pursue a career where they can work with their hands.

Studies have shown that a college degree helps in getting a higher paying job, which could lead to homeownership, and in general, a college education lays the ground work for building assets and a solid net worth.

For America as a nation to be competitive in a world economy, it has to have an educated workforce. Competition is strong. China, Japan, India, Canada, Australia and the UK are all striving to educate their citizens. Rick Santorum would have America compete with these great nations with high school diplomas.
