mosherose — No one is standing in the way of helping people with their tuition and getting money to yeshivos. We are arguing against putting energy and thought into a proposal that has no chance. As far as getting funding from the government is concerned, the only possible (albeit also very unlikely) realistic route is through some sort of tax credit/ tuition vouchers, where the money is given directly to parents to spend on education as they choose.
However the “tuition crisis”, as with most social dilemmas, is a complex, multi-faceted problem that doesn’t have an easy solution. (If it were simple, it would have been solved already,no?) Thinking that the government is going to come and pay for our yeshivos is a nice dream, but doesn’t help people with their tuition.
