College degrees are basically useless. You need a 4 year degree for what a highschool diploma used to be good for years ago. Making it free will only devalue that piece of crap even more, especially considering how dumbed down the curriculum is getting.
It will greatly speed up the decline of private educational institutions, speed up the Federalization of Education, turn the Dept. of Education into a super-power bureaucracy.
But the leftists teaching at private colleges won’t realize it
Harvard, Yale, etc... will survive, of course, but otherwise the once denominational, but now secular/progressive small private schools will be crushed by free government money to public schools, as well as the micro-management from Uncle Sam.
RE: Bernie - if college is free, who is going to pay the professor salaries? The costs of maintaining the buildings? Stock the labs and libraries? Buy classroom supplies?
How is that going to be FREE?

ANSWER: GOVERNMENT ( VIA YOUR TAXES AND MINE ). Isn’t it obvious?
Socialism is always about using other people’s money.
Pretty soon everything will be free, but who’ll pay for it all?
So what will a free college education be worth?
Absolutely nothin'
Aw. come on. Free? Don't you mean: Increased taxes on productive people to help those who aren't productive? If students want to invest in themselves and reap the rewards from that investment, that's fine, but don't ask US taxpayers to pay for it. Often what this really means is one semester of binge drinking at the expense of the US taxpayers. Drop the word "free", Bernie, and quit lying to people. If you want this badly enough, at least have the balls to pass a new tax to pay for it.
Conservatives just don’t get it.
They think “electing the right people” will matter. It won’t. With a Federal Reserve system able to back-stop Federal Government with printed money, debt, and centrally-controlled interest rates, there is no end to funding of progressive social-engineering schemes.
This has been going on since the New Deal, so we now have 3 generations of Americans who expect government to pay for everything from their health-care to education to abortions.
Tell me - how is a conservative ever going to be elected, much less survive, in such a political atmosphere?
But not a job that they couldn’t have done without removing themselves from the economy for four years, tying up all sorts of resources, and racking up big tuition bills (for someone, whether themselves or the taxpayers).
Free Cars!!
Will it work? No.
Will it win the Dems a crucial election next Fall? Damned straight!
Wow, free college and then after Buffy graduates with a degree in Womyn’s Studies free unemployment. The road to Utopia.
Yah! Work like a charm in driving Americas wealth up while the percentage of informed voters get driven way down!
Nice show Bernie Sanders!
It will never happen again. Go Galt.
Won’t happen in my lifetime anyhow. I think that poster is right. With Fed printing presses, and no other viable candidate for a global currency on the horizon, I think they can keep this going for decades before the wheels finally come off.
