I, like many servicemen, took college courses at education centers in the Army. Then when I retired from the Army I used the G.I.Bill to finish and get a degree. I never paid a cent for my education and I got money from the VA while attending college.College is pretty much free....if you spend four years in the military. Get movin, girl!College should be more free than a high school education is. We should actually pay students to go to college. Because though you can expect young adults to live at home when they go to high school, I wouldn't expect them to do the same when they are going to college. If a higher education has value, then it would be a benefit to society in general. Therefore making it worthy of something for the government to subsidize. Instead of expecting students to roll the dice when it comes to finding a job afterward with a huge student debt to pay off. France and Germany have free college education. And no doubt many other countries. The U.S. should too. I bet if this guy was running the U.S., we would have.

Why should people be expected to flush four years of their lives down the toilet to do something that would be a benefit to society in general. And those four years would be better spent in college. Also, I used to be in the military. Though they provided my food and clothing, my pay wasn't good enough to save up for college after I left. So blow me.
