President Barack Obama said in his 2012 State of the Union address.

“We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money.”

Let’s play a game. If that statement applies to college tuition which most people would agree is a very worthwhile and necessary investment for both individuals and society, what other word could we use to make the President’s statement even more signifucant.

I’ll go first. Let’s substitute “tuition” with:

Government

Solar power

Electric cars

Mismanaged companies

Americans who get old

Public employee unions

Sub prime mortgages

Health care

People who are not really disabled

It’s your turn!
