Higher education correlates with higher earning & spending, so providing free tuition is an economic stimulant. A system that claims “It’s too expensive” isn’t just resistant to sharing the money; it’s resistant to sharing the power that goes along with it.

There are already to many worthless degrees collecting dust in our country. We need tradespeople with associates degrees in their area of expertise to reinvigorate our manufacturing base. Don’t ask me to pay for wasted education.

And the interest rates are deplorable. It is sickening. I pay $700 just in interest per month. How is that sustainable?

You're right ... Education is a great investment ... and the payback is ... a higher GDP.

How do we execute this so that those who are worthy receive without disenfranchising those who aren’t judged worthy? And implementing it so that it is cost effective regardless of the future benefits it in all likelihood it may have?

I literally think this world is evolving so rapidly, that every single one of us should be in school always. It seems we are vastly under informed about how all the technologies & sciences & philosophies have developed in the past few decades. We still act like we’re cave people!
