Examples of outpace in a Sentence

  1. Alex Wong/Getty Images:

    Well, it's clear to me that we can't do student debt relief every 10 years or so. And I think about this as someone who needed Pell Grants and low-interest student loans to get through school. I paid mine off, but the situation has changed over the last 35 years, we've seen the price of college education continue to outpace inflation. We've seen bad actors in that student loan debt space, and I'm interested in reform, both reforming the process itself — I'd like to see us make more Pell Grants available — and I'd like to see us hold people accountable in that space so we get the price of college tuition, or technical tuition or community college tuition under control.

  2. Alex Fink:

    We’re not going back to ‘Be All You Can Be,’ because in the 1980s, the country exuded a sense of optimism. Think about the bright shining light on the hill. And the ‘Be All You Can Be’ of the 1980s reflected how youth felt about their future. That’s not the same feeling that youth have about their future today, they worry about being the first generation not to outpace their parents. So as we introduce ‘Be All You Can Be’ in 2023, to a new generation, we’re trying to reposition the army in their minds around the possibilities. It’s less about being all you can be already, and more about becoming all you can be.

  5. Andrew Lapin of NPR:

    It is, in short, more disposable than the mere mortal blockbusters it was designed to outpace, this should defy Marvel Studios mathematics. How can a movie with more stuff than its predecessors be less fun?
