Abstract	In Democracy in America, nineteenth-century political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville argued that understanding how individual U.S. states approached an issue offered "the key to all the rest." If Tocqueville was correct, and he was right about many things, higher education advocates are in for a rocky time. Over the past two or three years, states have drastically reduced funding for higher education, and the situation probably won't be getting much better any time soon. This article discusses the problem concerning funding for higher education, and contains the following sections: (1) Structural Problems; (2) Politics in Virginia; (3) Politics in Colorado; and (4) No Solution in Sight. (Contains 1 note.) (ERIC).
