Obama delivers remarks on student loans in Boulder, Colo.
We've got to make college more affordable for you. (Applause.) We cannot price the middle class out of a college education. When most new jobs in America require more than a high school diploma, higher education -- whether at a four-year college, at a two-year program -- it can't be a luxury. It's an economic imperative for every family in America. And every family in America should be able to afford it.”
