    Default Free college!

    http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/11/pf/c...ege/index.html

    Excellent job, Tennessee!

    I'd prefer it not to be funded with a state lottery ticket program, however. The desperate and dumb poor shouldn't foot the bill.

    A free 12th grade education has done a lot for this country so a college education would even do more

    The ROI on this kind of thing is off the charts.

    No one loses.

    Colleges are already filled to capacity. How many new colleges will have to be built and when will they be ready to accept students for free? ... 10 years from now???

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Public education in liberal controlled cities produces graduates that can't read or write. Guess you get what you pay for

    What high school did you attend?

    a much better idea is to find ways to escalate rising college costs.
    many colleges are stashing money away even as the raise costs.

    But Dems like "free stuff"and thats what they offer to the masses who have become conditioned to free stuff
    and never worry about things like the debt

    Here in PA, our then Democrat governor legalized gambling, saying the proceeds would cut property taxes. My property taxes have risen every year since...

    Why colleges with billions of dollars still charge tuition
    http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/04/pf/c...aid/index.html

    Donald Trump says the richest colleges could be charging you less for tuition, and punishing those schools is how he plans to tackle the rising cost of college.

    He's not the only one questioning whether wealthy universities with big endowments are charging their students way too much money. A congressional committee is currently looking into the issue, asking the richest colleges to explain how much of their endowments are actually spent on students, in a way that lowers their tuition cost.
