... AKA the Starship Troopers model.
Although that movie was a parody, the model is possible
Free college is about a pay raise for the Establishment Left. Nothing else.
One who has served honorably, under command, such as military
One cannot work for the government otherwise, or hold office.
How ‘bout we 1st return to the Constitutionally constrained and sized GOVT??
ZERO welfare. Eliminate property taxes (restore property RIGHTS) and those that wish to utilize the service(s) of ‘education’, can personally WRITE the check??
The whole ‘fiddling w/ the edges’ is more than asinine and NEVER will correct a thing.
Most companies already know this....that is why internships and temporary workers are exploding....this allows employers to train their own and keep only those that do the work.
Never saw the movie, read the book ~45 years ago.
I would also argue that business owners and managers have fallen prey to decades of propaganda from the education establishment that their grads require little to no training, and hence employers can shift those costs to someone else by hiring degreed candidates.
I have a better idea. Nearly everyone serving in Congress is proud of the fact (they say) they are performing a public service. Then how about giving up THEIR salaries - kind of putting their money (or ours) where their mouth is? Does the Constitution specify payment must be made for legislators?
OR even a bill that would reduce their salaries by half!!! “Oh! But it’s too expensive to live in DC, we couldn’t do that”. Then choose another profession where you can stay home and OUT OF OUR HAIR!
That is because so many GED holders are illiterate and mathematically challenged.
Colleges are spending more and more time on remedial courses that students should have learned in public school, but did not.
Bottom line: Our educational system from daycare to graduate programs is an outdated, socialist mess that needs to be destroyed.
They will until “free college” is presented at their local community college or online classes. Community college is affordable and available. And if you work at it year round, you can knock it off in 18 months.
The kids think they get to go to a nice private college in some hidden valley in New England. They are going to be hugely mistaken.
