Everything in govt starts with a "wouldn't it be nice or a good idea, if...." and of course it isn't going to mandatory for whatever it is. At least at first, but down the road of course whatever new idiotic idea they have will be mandatory.
But in addition to the education and diploma, there's the "college experience" to consider. It's one thing to live within a smalltown bubble during one's high school years, something else entirely to find as one's peers people from all across America, and even from around the world. Those new perspectives help students learn relationship skills and new ways of thinking. It also puts them at the forefront of trends.
There are also the greek houses. Joining a fraternity or a sorority doesn't give one membership just within that college, all the individual houses are connected. THIS CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR ONE'S CAREER CHOICE. If a prospective employer sees that an applicant went to a different college but is a member of the same fraternity, that applicant has a far greater chance of being hired than anyone else with the same qualifications. .
Educated kids are elitists and Colleges just indoctrinate them to liberal ideology
Has some truth to it...Most professors are far to the left of the general society.
If I were to write it all down in detail it would be too long. This is just a little taste for those that have absolutely no clue about college.

This is because they are well educated.
At what cost?
At an appropriate cost as always.
That's a weasel, of course. What cost is "appropriate?" Should we sacrifice our standard of living for some nebulous goal of having and "educated population?" Should children go without orthodontia so near-do-well dilettantes can delay their adulthood? What should we give up?
We already spend too much on higher education. Much of what is taught is shear propaganda, like "women's studies." A teacher's degree is utterly worthless. We produce far too many psychologists, sociologists and English degrees.

By all means, feel free to post something that expands on my post, something that goes deeper. No doubt it will be of benefit to the anti-education members.
It is a decision we will make with our kids. It isn't Obama's business one way or the other. My kids are not wards of the State for him to decide what to do with their lives.

That's kind of the definition of a slippery slope fallacy.
I understand your reasoning, but do you have evidence that all government observations end in such a state?

Just to be clear....you're advocating that the gummint fund corrective dental work for all children?

As I understand it, he aims to make it easier for your kids to go to College if you (collectively) decide that it's the thing to do.
I don't see compulsion in any statements.
You can relax...deep breath...that's good...in...out...in...out...hold...out...

No. I'm saying that if parents have to pay higher taxes to support a bunch of lay-abouts who want to party for 4 years, then a lot of them won't have money to pay for things like orthodontia for their kids.

Everything government does is based on compulsion.

The slippery slope argument is not a fallacy, dipshit.
I understand your reasoning, but do you have evidence that all government observations end in such a state?
You just said his reasoning was a fallacy, then you claim you understand it?
You need to go back and wrestle in a lower weight class.
