Quote:It doesn't devalue education, it's the economic side I have issue with. We can't just magically make it free, what we would be doing is paying for it through taxation just like public education.

 

Now step back and look at how pathetic our public education system is and ask do we really want government to take over college the way it did public education?

I don't want the government to provide the education. I want the tuition to be covered in some manner. Weather that is taxation or or buy moving current budget funds into this or w/e. It can be done without impacting the curriculum currently being taught. Again all I am saying to do is lower the barrier for entry to advanced education. The huge college businesses can still make their money from the more wealthy or those willing to take on loans or w/e because they are to big to kill off completely right away similar to insurance companies.  

 

In addition the fact that it's an economic issue at all is a failure of our country in general IMO. Educating the people is the best way to build the future of your country both domesticity and world wide. We have turned something that is in the best interest of the US into a business.
