Once, long ago, I was taking Intro to Economics. The professor was berating another student for basically not even trying. He said, “You’re just wasting your tuition money!”
The student replied, “What do I care? It’s Daddy’s money and he’s got plenty.”
Multiply that by 55,000 and tell me what you’ve accomplished with “free” college.
I was a professor part time for 5 years.
1/4 of all students just wouldn’t do the work. They’d show up, take tests, participate, ... but didn’t do the actual core assignments.
You can’t learn to write software if you, ya know, don’t write software.
1/3 of all students (aforementioned included) failed.
Another 1/3 passed, but I figure had no prospects in the industry.
Final 1/3 could make a job of it.
Of those, maybe 6 excelled. (Go play Killing Floor 2 to support one of them.)

You mean aside from Paul’s continued support via voting, an unconstitutional growth of govt & the economic servitude (guess I repeated myself there) of the taxpayers?
