Absolutely. College should be "free" to anyone who wants to go and meets the requirements. Our nation would kick global ass if we did something smart like that.
I think that would be wonderful, but the problem is that it is VERY expensive.
It is an investment that pays awesome dividends. We are just too stupid to make it.
But WHERE is the money going to come from? Colleges have expenses too. They have to pay their employees, maintain their facilities, computers, etc., etc.
I've gone down these roads with you before. Let me ask you something. Do you understand what is meant by the terms "investment" and "dividends"?
If so....you can answer your question without any help.
I do know what those terms mean, but your explanation is not clear. WHO is going to do the investing? How are you going to get people to invest. You could say that parents paying for their child's college education are doing the investing.
We.....the people...will invest. We will use tax dollars to make an investment that will pay for itself in a generation....and then continue to pay dividends forever.
If every parent could afford to pay for their kids college education....we'd not need to have this discussion.
Please....let me out of this vortex of willful ignorance.
