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.

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

How have college students--simply by having gone to college--improved the population and made us a healthier society?

How much college
Two more years
Four more years?
Master's degree? PhD? As long as someone feels like going?

And watch society dissolve into chaos over the coarse of a generation. Extremely shortsighted thinking all because you think it will save you some taxes.
You're a nutcase. Make lunatics appear sane.

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

What type of useful degrees will be earned by cognitively deficient scholars or does the discriminatory academic ability come into play?

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?

Do these people really not think there is a fundamental difference between k-12 and higher education?
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.

More educated? How does greeting a degree in sociology make one better educated? You, like so many, don't know what education is and diploma mills for peons able to retain enough information to dump it out on a test doesn't produce an educated populace.

Sigh.....the free market is not to blame for higher education costs skyrocketing
Posted on 1/12/20 at 3:25 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
The economy is not in need of more college graduates than are already produced. This is a ridiculous thing to push.

"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.
