No it should not. In Europe it’s free, but there are brutally competitive, difficult exams to get in. The USA will not do that because it would exclude two politically-protected victim groups. So, under Hillary or sanders college will be paid for by taxpayers and entry requirements will be lowered for diversity.
College will be even more of a joke than it is.

To: I want the USA back

Exactly. In smaller European countries, by 7th grade children are weeded out of the “college track.” Even if you go into business, it is a work study apprenticeship program. College is only for certain types of students, and there are very few majors. No basket weaving or gender studies. Most people don’t go to university — they go straight to an apprenticeship program in any number of fields. Sales, business, retail, even a lot of medical jobs are in apprenticeship programs. It is a much better system but no leader pretends college is good for every kid in the country. Because it is not, and that is fine. Kids should do what they love and what they are good at.
