Bernie on the tv at some rally spewing this
Heard it said by warren in a debate few weeks ago
Do these people really not think there is a fundamental difference between k-12 and higher education?

There shouldn't be. K-12 should be free market like college. Can't afford? Teach your kid at home or don't have one.

Of course they don't .... But it's how you get more socialists... After all they own academia

Oh it’s free alright. We’ll just take this amount from your check...

Yes and kids graduate high school with very little real world knowledge.
No critical thinking, but memorization.
No balancing checkbook, but x+y=z
No learning about taxes, except that we had a tea party back in the day

Uh, no. It’s not.
These people are unreal.

Is a high school diploma worth much anymore? There’s your answer

People can get a college education for free...most professors won’t mind if you come and sit in on classes and take notes...so what Bernie really wants is to raise everyone’s taxes significantly to give people pieces of paper

hy not college
How much college
Two more years
Four more years?
Master's degree? PhD? As long as someone feels like going?

In my county, the school district budget is larger than the county budget. That is not free

I’m confused here as K-12 is certainly not free. Where do they think the money comes from to fund these public school districts?

I agree that free college would be a disaster, but I don’t think this is a good argument. What is so fundamentally different?
Teachers. Classrooms. Textbooks. All these things cost money. The government can tax us to death to get money.
And given the rising costs, much like with healthcare, if the GOP sits around and watches costs skyrocket out of control and claims “bUt MuH fReE mArKeT”, while a bunch of swamp creatures enrich themselves with student loan money... then people will vote in socialism.

"Free" to Bernie and Lizzie = the government taxes you for the money to pay for it.
NOTHING IS FREE. K-12 is SUBSIDIZED by taxpayers.

Serve your country and then go to school for "free."
Posted on 1/12/20 at 3:39 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
We pay for K-12 via state and/or property taxes.

Free stuff works in theory.
In reality, free stuff becomes lowest common denominator and not useful.
When the state pays for education it evolves to indoctrination.
We should pay for the schooling of our own kids beyond eighth grade.
By then, the people with academic interest and potential continue. Others can apprentice or go to vocational school.

I don’t think these two know what free means. They’re not free at all.
