ALBUQUERQUE — As universities across the United States face steep enrollment declines, New Mexico’s government is embarking on a pioneering experiment to fight that trend: tuition-free higher education for all state residents.

After President Biden’s plan for universal free community college failed to gain traction in Congress, New Mexico, one of the nation’s poorest states, has emerged with perhaps the most ambitious plans as states scramble to come up with their own initiatives.

I might support this if colleges taught STEM only. But instead they teach sociology and poly sci and french lit and gender studies. Useless crap.
 
No one is forcing them to apply to college.

That wouldn't be the problem. If it's free, why not take a chance and see if you too can become a High Earner. Which would mean EVERYONE would enroll in College. More of a 'Guaranteed Job for Teachers' program.

Got it, you want everyone to be dumb.

New Mexico has the highest rate of welfare per 100K residents.
 
You seem to completely miss the point of the thread. No one is forcing kids in NM to go to college.

OK. Well I notice today that people that have a hard time reading, get Pell Grants and Federal Loans to 'go to College', thinking that they will just 'learn' through osmosis and come out the other end as 'Business Executives' or something. It seems like a waste of time for them and the Teachers, along with the Tax Payer.

I've been saying this for over 40 years now- Public Education should be expanded to include an associates degree in today's world.

Jr. College should be included into Public Education!

And County Jr. Colleges should also include Trade School education and certifications as well as academic coursework!

Counties across America should pick up the tab just as they do School Taxes now!

NEXT!

HAHAHA. You make it sound like our k-12 schools are doing a great job!!! They are a joke - just day care centers and liberal indoctrination centers. And they have been dumbed down to accomodate the blacks and illegals.

What is the fiscal multiplier for that public policy?

All laws of a general nature shall have uniform operation.

Solving simple poverty by solving for capitalism's natural rate of unemployment is more cost effective and can utilize existing legal and physical infrastructure.
