Texas Governor Rick Perry proposed it for his state schools, and it's a perfectly plausible goal.
In his recent State of the State address, Texas Governor Rick Perry called for the state's universities to begin offering a bachelor's degree with a total cost (including tuition, fees, and textbooks) of only $10,000, in contrast to the current $26,800 to $45,300. If we include the cost to taxpayers, the total bill (at UT-Austin) runs to at least $95,000.
