Tuition should be free. Works for students in Louisiana and Georgia.
Bernie Sanders wants to go national with this. And so should we all.
Forgive them their debt, thus allowing them to move on to build

That sounds to me like a recipe for having lots of
people with Engineering degrees serving pizzas and
flipping burgers, at the expense of the tax payer.
Tax paid tuition (I refuse to call it "free" because it
is not) does not mean you will become what you study to
become even if you are any good. There is this magic
idea that making access to college easy will ensure
that people fullfills their dreams. Fat chance. When
everybody has a degree, degrees are worthless.
TBH it is time for people to realize that the
pussification process we call Degree is not the end-all
be-all of either culture or professional success. If it
becomes insanely expensive people should give it the
middle finger and do something else with their lives.
I have been through a State backed college and even
been involved with the directive. The way they waste
money in superfluous crap while at the same time
providing non-professionalizing education is
disheartening. I wish nobody to be forced topay for it
with their taxes.

But while they were in school, instructors worked for pay, the campuses had
electricity which wasn't generated by wind turbines, security guards worked at the campuses, landscapers cut the grass. The dean - he did stuff too.
Do you think all those people can forgive the work they did instead of >getting paid? If so, well ok then!
Once government gives something away, it cannot take it back.
Do you honesstly think the elderly will give up social security?
Or medicare? Or SSI/medicaid, for those who never were able to qualify
for social security/medicare?
Face it. Everything ought to be free.
It is only a matter of time until it is.
Why should those who provide loans so as to make exorbitant
profits they do not deserve from those who are trying to
learn the skills they need in order to become gainfully employed?
Young people have a hard enough time finding a job, much less
paying for a new car, a starter home, and other necessities.
Why saddle them with debt that would take them thirty years to
pay (assuming they can repay it at all)?

Loan provider are actually working. They put people who
needs money in touch with people who is willing to lend
money. It is just that the whole process is not easily
apparent. You put your money in a savings plan. The bank
gives that money to somebody who asks for a loan. Do you
see how it works?

People does not saddle other people with debt. People
get indebted on their own will. If you put the saddle on
it is not the fault of the loan provider.
If you don't feel like coping with the debt don't take
it. There are lots of things other than college you can
do with your life.
Face it. Everything ought to be free.
No such a thing can ever exist. I dare you to prove me
wrong. Start by getting my second novel translated to
English for free at proffessional quality (if you don't
speak? Spanis hyou may learn from a free source or
outsource the task to somebody who will do it for free)
Everything ought to be free, so translations of books
ought to be free. It is gonna take three months of work
but you will do it for free because hakuna matata.
Now you may say that you meant that everything ought to
be provided by the government, which is entirely
different than "everything ought to be free". Two
reasons why such a thing will fail:
1) If the government becomes the sole provider, it
becomes a monopoly. A Monopoly on education is as bad
as a Monopoly on electric power and Internet Services
for the same reasons. You may counter by telling me
that "the people" controls the government and thus is
not likely to abuse its power over consumers. I will
argue there is no sustainable evidence of that.
2) For the government to be able to provide things
for free, somebody must provide for the government.
Since the government is giving stuff away asking
nothing in return, then I have no reason to work for
the government. Or worse yet, for anybody. The only
thing the government can do is to take your stuff
away and give it to you once again. You have an
apple. The government takes your apple away, now it
gives it back to you. You eat the apple. You ask
for another apple. The government takes an apple from
Jack and you eat it. You ask for another apple.
There are no more apples because nobody has made them
(why would they make apples if the government would take
them away with no compensation?) You end up pimping
your daughter in order to be able to buy apples
at the black market.
