Imagine if Bernie were able to make all colleges "free".

[Wyatt earp]

They would basically become public schools. They would demand equal money from the government. You would need to take funds away from science and technology and fund "art appreciation". And that's just the beginning to this disastrous plan.

Since I can't stand you lying so much, I will take Bernies side.

How the hell is Germany doing it? That is one thing they managed to do right through the entire industrial revolution, they know how to compete in manufacturing against cheap labor and that is through education and now government funded colleges.

It wouldnt work here, the US is just to open. everyone from the whole world would be in line to use our free colleges just like everything else. You can only give so much then quality has to drop somewhere

Forgot about that one.

Why you can get a free college education in Germany but not in California



Germany’s commitment to higher education is so strong that even Americans can get a free college
degree in the country.

From my link, most Germans don't even go to college, not like Americans


Fewer Germans go to college

College may be free in Germany, but fewer students there are earning college degrees than in the U.S., according to theOrganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Only 30% of Germans ages 25-34 have completed a tertiary education, which includes academic degrees and some but not all vocational programs. That’s below the OECD average, and below the U.S. 45% attainment rate for the same age group.

Germany is not a country rich in natural resources, but it is population-dense — there are about 80 million people in a country that’s smaller than Montana. The economy’s greatest resource, then, becomes a skilled workforce, Lemmens said.

The country relies on both universities and apprenticeships to produce that workforce, rather than just the U.S. equivalent of theoretical bachelor's degrees.

In Germany, vocational and academic tracks are well-respected, Lemmens said. But Germany’s practice of tracking students into an educational path is controversial around the world because it happens so early, said USC education professor Tatiana Melguizo.

The U.S. and California also recognize the need for a highly skilled workforce, but the difference is that German companies invest more in vocational training, Melguizo said. That investment helps reduce the government’s burden to pay for higher education.

To offer that same mentorship and vocational training, Melguizo said, American companies would need to partner more closely with community colleges.

It's not free......it's a transfer.

The #1 factor in success in anyone's career is personal responsibility. Teaching kids with the first step towards their higher education that they are not responsible for the cost is fail from word go

So what? That platitude is meaningless.

Not if you're the one paying for someone else's free shit

It's not meaningless to the ones paying for this "free shit". Gawd you're freaking stupid

 

[WildBillKelsoe]

Those freakazoid college professors who think they can say and do anything they want inside their little academic bubble will be singing a different tune, because they'll suddenly be public employees and subject to the law.

Yeah let's have the government control college education as well after all they're doing such a great job with public primary and secondary education

(FYI that's sarcasm)

Exactly.... Lefties think just because they didn't pay for it, it is free. However, you alk out of the ER without paying, the doctors, nurses, techs, etc. still get paid.. therefore it isn't free.

So when churches give free stuff to the needy in the form of charity,

that's not really free is it?

Look retard, there is no way to make all colleges free as some charge hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and some just a fraction of that. Since they are private not public, the government can not regulate their cost, what you are proposing is pure communism, which would render the constitution null and void. So it is impossible, just like your breaking 100 on an IQ test.

Bernie's free plan applies to public colleges. Learn to read.

Free college in limited degree is already working in many places in the country.

For instance, Massachusetts:

Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System
John and Abigail Adams Scholarship
The John and Abigail Adams Scholarship provides a tuition waiver for up to eight semesters of undergraduate education at a Massachusetts state college or university. The scholarship covers tuition only; fees and room and board are not included. The scholarship must be used within six years of a student's high school graduation.

In order to be eligible for the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship, Massachusetts public high school students in the class of 2015 or earlier must

• have scores of Advanced and Proficient on grade 10 MCAS tests in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics (at least one score must be Advanced) and
• have combined scores on MCAS ELA and Mathematics tests that place them in the top 25 percent of students in the graduating class in their district.

You're right, there always has to be supply. The government can always afford to buy whatever is denominated in the united states dollar though.
