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.

yes, unfortunately we're stuck in this 14 days to flatten the curve, and there is more domestic violence, assaults, muggings, and murders. College debt MUST wait.

Prior to the college level, if everyone was given free access to the internet with websites geared to teach any subject that may interest a young person. I believe a social program of this sort would generally help in the education front, Marianne.

Have you not seen what the effects have been of too many people going to college? It’s a misallocation of labor. We need people who can actually do stuff, not a bunch of entitled kids with purely academic majors and no skills.

.If only we had a system in place for our children to just learn. Begin with the fundamentals of reading, writing, even arithmetic. Each year building on the one before. Focused on fundamentals. Imagine using the 12 most formative years so wisely. If only there was such a place.

The “anybody & everybody” gets a govt student loan was meant to make college more reachable to all. Instead, the inevitable laws of economics chimed in, & tuition inflation simply accelerated. Basic supply & demand. And the “free money” induced too many low-return majors choices

"a dark triad of social maladies: a bloated elite class, with too few elite jobs to go around; declining living standards among the general population; and a government that can’t cover its financial positions" Things are not going very well. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

I don't agree with free tuition..anything worth having is worth paying for. I do agree that's it's way too expensive though..maybe working off college debt in some kind of government or community service might be an option..
