Why should society fund someone’s personal decision to go to college?

Attending college is a career choice to qualify for certain jobs. Attending k-12 is not.

What, you think all those teachers, administrators, coaches, janitors, etc., work for nothing?

That’s something you dolts just can’t seem to get thru your thick skills: IT’S NOT FREE just because YOU don’t see the cost. SOMEBODY is paying for it.

Strange. Somehow we've managed to sustain the free K-12 system for nearly a century. Absorbing a 4-year college system can reasonable and achievable.

Free education doesn't hurt citizens; it hurts the bankers. What are you afraid of?


The only countries which offer free university sharply restrict attendance. It’s free, if you make the cut.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. We have a public K-12 educational system that is funded by taxes - predominantly property taxes, sales taxes, and usage taxes and an increasing share by the feds, courtesy of - wait for it - your income taxes.

To call public education free is a gross misnomer.
