And until the 1960s, state colleges and universities were tuition free…

The U.S. Supreme Court is currently deciding whether to kill Biden's student debt cancellation plan. When the justices were in college, the average student loan debt was under $1070. Now it's $31,000 — up 2,807%.

Complete bullshit.

@MorePerfectUS Yes, in 2007 total student debt was $0.5T, in 2017 $1.5T. Students are no longer the countries investment in the future. That leaves more money for endless wars, and crackpot schemes from our warmongers in charge. Please don't be a warmonger.

Irrelevant stoop. They signed an agreement.

We need to make AI smarter so we don't need teachers/professors and brick & mortar colleges/universities for classes that just use text books. Chemistry (et al) is another story. But we can start off by getting rid of professors to lower costs.

We need to make higher education affordable, or better yet—free to all. It is nearly impossible to be successful without an education. If we want to level the financial playing field and give everyone the same opportunity, we need to give minorities and the poor a fair chance.

they should make community college free again, like it was as recently as the 1980s also, reduce student loans to the prime rate, retroactively. cancelling loans is great but idk if it is legal

Shouldn't THE COST OF COLLEGE be somewhat related to INCOME?

If they want to complain about unqualified workers...I got a big fuck you and your investment dividends

By free you mean taxpayer funded?
