How about...
NO
IF anyone wants free or close to free college-we already have that, its called community or two year college-IF i were king for a day I would make it mandatory for all before entering 4 year college, and it would remove the stigma and lower cost-some Community colleges are tryng to offer 4 year egress but the 4 year colleges are fighting that tooth and nail-it would just gut the demand for over priced 4 year colleges
Maybe that should be Trump and GOP answer-push offer community colleges with ability to offer 4 year degrees and trades
“Everything will be free, except the right to speak and hold your own opinions.”
You cannot build a utopian socialist state by catering to individuals!
Why shouldn’t people who cannot afford to send their own children to college be forced to pay college tuition for the children of illegals, minorities and their wealthy neighbors?

I don’t want to pay for half-wits to attend college.
College is not for everybody. Probably only about 20% of the people who THINK they want to attend college would actually benefit from acquiring that degree.
Most of the remainder would be served better were they to concentrate on a course of training that leads to a well-paying job, be that driving truck, welding, electronics design and repair, or being able to greet people on the phone with some degree of pleasantness. None of these positions are as simple as they seem, but they are all part of a well-functioning economic system. History of racial relations may seem to be appealing, but it turns out to have little real-world application and is not welcomed by the market place.
A college degree is not simply some kind of union card, and when there is WAY too much of any commodity, its value drops sharply. That is why machinists and plumbers get paid so much.
Sure— help create some more Women’s Studies, LGBT studies, and “social” workers.... with huge student loans unpayable. Help them become the legions of a-holes we have to put up with like permanent National children of the socialist “family”. Just because... poverty.
Calling Bernie Madoff-— help out with this other federal PONZI scheme.
BTW— found out that the Picower Foundation continues even after the man who was the largest benefactor of the Madoff fake ponzi scheme (earliest investor) coughed back 7.2 Billion to the suing Madoff Trustee, in the largest civil seizure/adjudication in US history— to be returned to the many other ponzi victims as pennies on their invested dollars and zero profits. Picower died and his scam broad wife is NOW Director of the JPB Foundation (assets of 3 Billion! from where?) all LEFTY causes— including this one of paying tuition, and “stopping” poverty. Scamming still.

Applicants should be required to have 3 years minimum of a trade experience in the combined form of a paid internship
Every time andy ONE of these “one upsmanship” giveaway crazed socialist libs— including Fauxcahontas especially says this everything free crap..
Instantly needs conservative reply— “how are we going to pay for this 200 trillion plus impossible expense that represents the entire federal budget... and more?
And then call it what it is: the Democrat Bernie Madoff/Sanders/Warren Ponzi Communist scheme to destroy the USA!
AND that's what we'd get if we put them in charge of 'the next four years' of education. Kindergartner though 16th grade ...
They need more teachers to launder federal government campaign contributions to Demacrats through their union dues.
Government force should not economically prop up the relatively high incomes of the providers of high cost services and products, like prescription drugs, hospital care and college.
Government force should not sustain inequality.
You nailed it there. The reason university education can be free of charge in other countries is that so few people attend university. They have to take qualifying tests with objective standards and only the top scores are admitted. Here, by contrast there’s illiterates on full scholarships.
New technology and better educational materials are what should be utilized.
I don’t want to support four years at Country Club College at $50,000/year for “tuition” alone.
“Warren wants all public colleges to complete ‘an annual audit’ to identify and fix any ‘shortfalls’ in ‘enrollment and graduation rates for lower-income students and students of color.’”
A kid who grew up in Scarsdale whose mother is a book editor and whose father is an investment banker is probably going to have better language and math skills than a kid from Brownsville in Brooklyn.
No.
My daughters will graduate debt free and that should be the end of my obligation.
After putting my 2 kids through college loan free I just can’t afford to pay for someone else’s kid(s).
