Comparison of Costs of Education

In support of my contention in the "Why Asia" blog entry that the U.S. has become too expensive for a "normal' middle class person (whether foreign or American) to live there. During former President Bush's 8 year 'reign,' the cost-of-living spiraled ever upward. Take a look at the difference in the cost of a term at a university or college. Malaysia, the lowest, offers world class quality at about half the price.
