Double Speak

I am sure many aspects of the budget will be discussed by bloggers in the next few days. And indeed the papers are full of it. But One thing that I want to have a look at is the increase in University Registration Charges to €1,500. When are we going to stop the pretence that we have a free third level education system? We have a subsides one. By calling it a registration fee we are just deluding our selves (maybe what FF want us to do) that it is free. Its not the government just subsides about 66% of the cost. 

Whether that is good or not is of course another story.
