On: Walmart will begin offering to subsidize college tuition for its U.S. workers

Grossly inflated tuition prices don't need any more support.

I like Walmart's supposed intentions, but this action makes the core problem with higher education in America worse.

Agreed. It's a good look on Walmart's end, but it really doesn't do anything other than reinforce the idea that college tuition prices are fine as they are.

If enough companies begin offering this as a perk college tuition prices will just keep inflating.

Corporations are already one of the only realistic ways to attain affordable healthcare. It seems sensible that higher education joins the basket of corporate perks.

And if you're not lucky enough to work for a company that offers those perks...what should you do?

It was right after WWII that companies started subsidizing healthcare. Before that, most items were paid for with cash.

That resulted in...well you know the deal.
