I want a free bank account, free house, free insurance, free vacations and a maid.
A democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for supper.
This is no different. People think that a college education is a “right”. Nothing is a “right” if it has to be provided by the labors of another. No one has a “right” to my money except my minor children.
Wrong answer. Only those who don’t have to pay taxes to fund it support. They’re the ones who are too stupid to realize that it’s tax dollars stolen from you and I to fund it though.
Obama promised me a pony. I’m still waiting.
2/3rd think someone else will pay for it.
And when you flood schools with unintelligent students, basically making it 13th-23rd grade, these places will have to do social promotion and become diploma mills or else they will have people camping out there for years!
And then whee are they going to get jobs with those degrees?
they wouldn’t if they were the ones paying for it...
wheres the poll on the people who are willing to fork over an extra few thousand in taxes each year to send someone else’s kid to college ???
Adolescence extended to 30’s. That’s what free school for adults means. Also, all the problems that come with keeping people from growing up until then.
NOTHING is free.
Somebody (taxpayers = We the People) will have to pay.
I want a pony!
Anything “free” is worth about as much as you pay for it.
Higher education is not a right, it is a privilege bestowed upon those who have the necessary mental preparation to actually ABSORB historic life lessons, and have the inclination to devote personal time and resources to integrating these lessons from history into their own existence. College is only preparation for following the discipline of lifelong learning into your own personal bliss, not just a “union card” to get into some cushy cinch job that allows one to collect an obscenely large paycheck for little or no personal effort beyond that of showing up on a regular basis, smiling broadly, and nodding some vague agreement, while cashing the paycheck.
Drones have an exceptionally useless existence. And yet, this is what most college “graduates” who received a “free” education are doomed to become.
And there are already any number of “graduates” holding meaningless degrees, sitting home in their parents’ basement, contributing little but unrest to society.
As a person who worked his way through college, secured loans for law school, who has a wife that took loans for undergrad and graduate work, has one kid in college and two on the way to college, this makes me want to puke.
In the end, that’s three quarters of a million dollars out of my pocket for higher education.
And now people want it to be free?
F Them!
Older Graduate: I really can’t take your offer, I’ve still got $50,000 in college debt.
Employer: That’s too bad, the new graduates have none, so you’ll need to accept what is an ample amount for them. Sell your car and take the bus.
I support free automobiles. Who’s with me?
2/3 ? oh paleeze
...as long as they aren’t paying for it.
They forgot to add that part.
...and ponies.
Most people support receiving benefits they do not have to pay for.
I would like colleges and universities to adopt more work/study programs. So it takes 5 - 6 years to get a degree. The individual will come out with minimal or no debt, the satisfaction of knowing they paid for their degree, and some experience.
Other forms of "free" college are simply a type of political payback for one of the most loyal Democrat voter groups, and they should not be seriously considered.
Right, two thirds of the Americans are nothing but a
bunch of dam socialists.
Where did they pull these BS statistics from?
To be fair, they should pay back all the people who have already paid for college.....
How about we just give everyone a million dollars?....and a pony.
