Free College Education
There is no such thing as "free" college education, someone is paying for it
You're an idiot. Lots of things are called free that are paid for by someone.
And there it is, the stupidest thing I've seen all day.
Free College Education
There is no such thing and never will be. That's like suggesting free gold or free Ferrari's.
My youngest daughter just graduated from college with a degree in biology and received her commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. Her college education was not free. The taxpayers paid for her education because she endured a great deal in order to receive that Army commission. While other students were partying the night away, she was tucked in bed in order to get up for physical fitness training at 5:45 am, Monday through Friday. While other students were enjoying their summer breaks, she was on a Caribbean island helping high school students prepare for their role in their country's police force by teaching them skills and discipline they would need. She spent another summer slogging through the mud and living in 100 degree heat in tents for weeks at a time.
That is how she earned her education. Even after that, she has a seven-year service obligation to pay back what she received.
It wasn't free by any stretch of the imagination and no one gets a free education. Somebody pays.
What if an American kid is born poor?
What if an American kid is born poor?
Then work the streets like the rest of us. Your mamma raise a fool?
So if we keep enough Americans uneducated because they can't afford it,
how will that make America a better place?

What streets do you work in?
Frankly, in this day and age, virtual universities make more sense than physical universities do. Televised classes could impart ivy league education to millions without tuition worries. And anyone wanting to be tested for degree purposes could simply report to a testing station on a specific date.
The idea of free education is a plausible way to capture the imagination of potential College students. But maybe that should be limited to "subjects" that could benefit the Country in terms of economic growth. The disciplines of Engineering and the Sciences (and all sub divisions of these subjects) would warrant full support of the Government and US companies. Of course failure to complete the degree course successfully would require the student to pay back all their past tuition fees; nothing is that free !!!

In this day and age college and group "education" is a waste of time for someone interesting in learning facts. The school systems from top to bottom are loaded with agenda driven "teachers" who are not particularly good with subject matter, but practiced in brainwashing students. There should be a series of tests that anyone can take to meet the requirements of a certain "degree." The co-ed socializing is really the only reason from attending a college, and it is indeed a tremendous amount of fun. But the academics are pretty much a waste of time and money. So making it "free" is simply full taxpayer subsidizing the peculiar groups that seem to control academia. That would be equivalent to being taxed by Hollywood even though you don't even waste time watching their movies.
