"Trouble for the future"? What's this they have now?
The descriptor “2-year “ adds nothing to the story. It would be equally correct without it.
liberal-progressives have destroyed
the california public schools and community colleges.
“We’ve got to try to increase the educational attainment of California.”

No you don’t.
The mere handing out of often useless college degrees, does nothing except enrich the unquestioned higher education monolith.
“Start saving before your baby is born, and sacrifice his entire life, for his grossly overpriced and inefficient college education.”
California is already falling behind and will keep falling, and it has nothing to do with the Community Colleges or any other state colleges or universities. It has more to do with the onerous regulations that are inducing business to leave the state or not even be formed.
“The low rates of college completion could hurt California’s economy”
The low completion rates are not what’s hurting, it’s the fact that you’re wasting taxpayer money on people that are either incapable of doing college level work or unwilling.
The typical liberal answer will be to require the colleges to dumb down even further so more of the “dumb masses” will get degrees. Try this: instead of paying for lazy underachievers, let them pay their own way.
The colleges will lower their fees to attract paying customers in order to remain afloat and people wanting an education will benefit from the lower costs.
Get a student loan, enroll in a 2 year college and then drop out. It’s happening.
I’m feeling generous. I hereby authorize use of my tax dollars to educate any Natural Born American Citizen in English and Arithmetic until they fail to keep up, or until they reach the sixth grade, whichever occurs first. I further authorize use of my tax dollars for up to two years of vocational training, for any Natural Born American Citizen.
Aliens, and Citizens who want to learn more, should do so on their own dime, and in their own way.
I do not authorize the use of my tax dollars to pay for daycare, health care, free lunches, feminist studies, underwater basket weaving, or any other mamby pamby purpose.
Clear?
I work at a community college and I figure at the most only 25% of students are there for the education andthe rest are there for the entitlement give away money that they will never have to pay back. I even had some black students tell me that people had come to their churches explaining how to get the most money out of the system.
