There's a big, brown cloud in the city
And the countryside's a sin
The price of life is too high to give up
It's gotta come down again

The world wide war is over and done
And the dream of peace comes true
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

When they find out how to burn water
And the gasoline car is gone
When an airplane flies without any fuel
And the satellite heats our home

But one of these days when the air clears up
And the sun comes shinin' through
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

You don't have to get high to get happy
Just think about what's in store
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin'
Then they won't be booin' no more

When a President goes through the White House door
Does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

California used to have free community college. I guess they decided they couldn’t afford it any more.

Since a high school education nowadays is roughly what an elementary education was fifty years ago, here’s a solution for Oregon kids failed by their school system - a few more incompetently managed classes.

Well, those who might like to go to college is really nice. But, most of them don't or won't have the basic education to do college work to begin with. They will have to be remediated for a year or more. That is if they can even pass to remedial classes.

So, it probably won't cost all that much, except for the principle of the thing. People with low self--esteem and lacking drive, etc.

How did a newspaper in a liberal bastion named Oregon get this info? AP?

“A lifetime of food stamps is much more expensive than the annual community college tuition of $3,000,” Hass told lawmakers”

Cool! Community college AND food stamps! Yay! Yay!

not free.

100% taxpayer funded.

which really means...

100% property owner funded.

so only some of the taxpayers will be forced to pay for it.

Some of our high schools in Texas offer dual credit classes to students who are in accelerated high school programs. If they do well in these classes by the time they complete their senior year in high school they will have completed the equivalency of two years of college. Following this they can then transfer to a four year college and enter as a junior. It’s difficult work and leaves little time for other activities but can end up saving a lot of money and time.

I think this is wonderful, free college. Just think, the teaching staff, maintenance staff - all doing it for no wages at all. The utility companies donating the electricity, water and communications. Contractors coming in free of charge to make building repairs and upgrades. Books donated to the school. ALL FREE!

I’ve really learned to dislike the word free because nothing is free.

Try this: Next time a catchup bottle (or any other product) at the grocery story says “33% Free”, bring in your own container, open the catchup bottle and take out exactly 33% without buying anything at all and try to walk out the door.
