Congratulations! You get FREE COLLEGE TUITION!
Isn't that wonderful?!?
All you have to do for the rest of your life is to pay the tuition for all the college students who will come behind you.
Isn't that wonderful?
Free college, free food, free clothing, free housing, free healthcare, free wifi . . .
Everything should be free. Actually, people should not have to work (work is oppression), so who needs free college?
Let’s all relax and enjoy our free money from the free money tree.
I do not have the answer.
AND FREE COFFEE at Starbucks.....
Free college so kids can learn how to be good little democrat socialists..
It only follows that if I have the right to free college, I have a right to graduate whether I learn anything or not.
"Everybody has won, and all must have prizes." ................. Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Why not skip the race and go directly to the prizes? They'll be worthless anyway.
I understand this and could get on board under the strictest guidelines.
But first I want to know WHY it costs so damn much for college?
And for those who can’t afford it, let’s here real examples, not the “My college debt was 200,000”. Yeah, for 8 years of school to become a brain surgeon, perhaps its required!
The reason I could get on board with free/reduced college is because an educated society benefits the entire populace. Stupid people cause problems, can’t get jobs and are more prone to criminal behavior, thus becoming a drain on society.
I honestly don’t know how it would work, but with the right plan, I could get on board.
Two-thirds of Americans are morons.
Then colleges should be like Roach Motels. Everyone gets in but fewer get out.
2/3 of Americans would probably approve of everybody getting a check in the mail for $50,000 too. It does not means we should do it.
Public College tuition is pretty cheap - it’s the fees that are the biggest expense.
Bernie barking for free tuition is disingenuous to his minions, as if it will miraculously solve all ills.
Most state university tuition in my area are less than $1000 a semester, it’s the fees that go into the multi-thousands.
Progressives aren’t screaming for Free-Fees. That’s their bread-and-butter.
Bankrate.com provides no data on how their survey was conducted. Until shown otherwise, I’ll have to assume it was a self-selection operation on a website visited by borrowers. They’d prefer free money — who’da thunk it?
They forgot to ask: Are you willing to pay for someone else’s tuition every year for the rest of your life, whether or not the others are serious students, studying courses likely to result in employment/tax-paying, etc.?
They probably should be getting their college education for free, because 90%+ are sure as heck not learning anything useful, and are ending up with useless degrees and a lot of debt.
Why don’t you throw in a free trip to Tahiti while your at it, and don’t forget the free French lessons!
I call B S on the poll results reflecting any accuracy.
If you consider that close to 50% of people (maybe more now?) rely on some type of entitlement program or welfare benefit, then those 50% probably do think college should be free. Then throw in half or more of those who are actually IN college and those who are in high school, and you might be approaching two-thirds.
Pretty scary.
Nope.
FREE MY ASS!!!
Now, the fees...the fees were a killer...
Well, I certainly support lower tuition and the implementation of Web learnin’ for those subjects where it is appropriate. Free is probably too low to promote students to be able to appreciate the boost to education that they are getting. $60/credit hr sounds like a good upper bound.
