Remember How Great California Was? (San Diego: live in, move to, tuition)

How funny that you aren't aware that Political Parties change over time. Nixon supported universal health care, Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex. In 2016 Republicans embrace the military industrial complex and deplore the idea of universal healthcare.

You are right, both have changed ... they have gotten worse.

We have over 18 million registered voters. Just under 7,932,000 of those are Demorcrat. 5,225,000 of those are Republican. That gives you over 5million that are in other parties or decline to state a party.

Another 6,400,000 have not registered to vote in California.

Of those that are registered to vote, the 18million only 75% showed up for this last election or about 13,500,000 people voting.

A lot of people in California are not even voting. That is a lot of people, many of which I am sure are upset about how the Democrats are running things. That is 10,900,000 people that did not vote at all. Hillary won California with less than 5 million votes. I wonder how things would have turned out if the missing 10,900,000 had shown up at the election.

She probably would have won by just under 15,900,000. This observation is not an endorsement. Just an observation that, in a state as generally known to be liberal as CA, the results for our state were a foregone conclusion ... and it was well known that HRC did not generate much enthusiasm, to put her miserable aura mildly. Whereas those, minority, of voters who actually supported the moronic, mentally disturbed, orange clown were fanatically motivated and showed up at the polls everywhere in their passionate excitement, regardless of obvious odds against - just to express themselves.

I will agree the prices did go up considerably around 1970. And by the time my own children reached college age, they had gone quite a bit higher, but student loans also were more available and very easy to get.

My brother went to San Francisco State in 1956. His fees were $12.25. There were not other fees at that time and there definitely wasn't tuition. Maybe you are talking about books because there were no other fees.

In 1956 non-resident tuition for a California University was $300 a year, I can't find the non-resident tuition for a State College but has usually run about 1/3 of a State University

what the heck does that have to do with what CA was like then and now? You need to start a new thread and probably better suited for the political forum?

call it want you want, there were fees. Our parents, who were paying for our education referred to them as tuition and so did we. We paid fees each semester.

I guess a lot changed in one year: I went to SDSU in 1957; the fees as you call them were $125.00. and where you are getting the year instead of semester I have no idea. MY Husband remembers them as 175 and he should know know, his senior year he was on a full scholarship for the San Diego union. Had he not been he would have had a tough time affording college.

True, and that poster's link was for the UC system. I'm with you; call it what one will: tuition, fees, charges, etc....there was a cost to attend a Cal State U back then.

I do remember, but the last thing California needs is a donald trump. It's sad to see how so much has changed and for the worst with my home state. Like it or not liberals do deserve a good portion of the blame, but not all. Both sides of the aisle always play a role in destruction.

Sure did pay a lot of fees based on credits...
