"Everyone deserves a college education" is right up there with "Everyone deserves a home of their own".

Yeah, it's a nice idea. Yeah, it's something to strive for. No, it's not something that the government should try to make happen.

And this idea is worse because not everyone is suited for a college education.

Remember, "Happiness" is not a right even if "the pursuit of happiness" is.

What irks me is that people keeps saying that the goal was to make it easier for people with zero or poor credit to have their own home.

The word “home” gets to me. Don’t people who live in apartments have a home? Where in the Constitution does it say that no one should ever be poor?

Even Jesus said that the poor would always be with us.

It’s not an easy problem to fix.
