Now I can't stand Colonel Sanders, but I think he is 100% correct on this. College tuition has become unaffordable and it saddling students will $100K+ in student loan debt before they even get the college.

I hear the argument that look what public schools have done to K-12. That argument doesn't jive. First, do a search of just IL. The top schools are private schools, they are a mix of Magnet/College Prep/Charter/Regular Public, but are all tax payer covered public schools. The issue is really the inner city schools and I honestly think that has a lot to do with the students and families. Second, do the research there are a TON of horrible private colleges.
Yes it will probably cost $100 Billion, but education is something WE SHOULD spend on. I would put add some changes to this bills:
(1) End Tenure - All Professors are now at-will. This goes for K-12.
(2) No more collective defined payment pensions - All teachers contribute to SS and they get individual 401K style pensions with an employer match. Imposed on states also/
(3) Health Insurance employer contribution similar to the private sector. Imposed on states also
(4) School Choice at Fed and State level.
Then they should put in areas they should cut from. There are $100s of billions of dollars (aka useless agencies) that can be cut from the budget to cover this.

That is excellent! Getting all these teachers and colleges to volunteer to educate these students for no charge. They should publish a list of the names of all these upstanding people.
Oh, wait, he didn't mean free, he meant taxpayers would pay?
Fuck you Commie Bernie. Asshole.
The last few large corporations I worked for who were the R&D people (the engineers)? They were always foreigners from Asia. If you haven't looked around the US is floundering in math, science and education as a whole. Our children are becoming slaves to their college debt. It's a travesty that a kid starts out in the world with a mountain of debt that is the equivalent of a 1st mortgage.
Something needs to change!
but then how will so many teachers be able to pay their mortgages? who is going to pay for their summer mansions?Now I can't stand Colonel Sanders, but I think he is 100% correct on this.

In a broader economic context, however, this makes perfect sense and represents an excellent investment. Advanced education is an absolute necessity to economic growth, and all U.S. industries gain a direct benefit from an educated workforce. Logically, the beneficiaries (industries and the American economy in general) should invest in an educated workforce. Business is the main beneficiary; why should labor pay for something that immediately becomes an intangible asset to businesses?
We don't need more graduates with degrees that can't support the holders with viable jobs. We need more people willing to work in trades, we need more engineers. We don't need the results from the "everyone goes to college" paradigm.
I agree and nothing is free. If everyone went to college for free the colleges would be closing.
Op's an idiot just like Bernie Saunders.

Humanity becomes superfluous. There will be those who control the robots and a few human organ farms to supply spare parts. The world will be a garden paradise. If all men eat, it's because all men are nothing but a handfull.Since we are talking how our Daddy gumberment should give us FREE stuff. I was just reading this. we are doomed

What If Everybody Didn't Have to Work to Get Paid?
Advocates say that a guaranteed basic income can lead to more creative, fulfilling work. The question is how to fund it.
Basic income activist Scott Santens in New Orleans Courtesy Katie Smith
David R. Wheeler
Scott Santens has been thinking a lot about fish lately. Specifically, he’s been reflecting on the aphorism, “If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he eats for life.” What Santens wants to know is this: “If you build a robot to fish, do all men starve, or do all men eat?”

And if "businesses walk out the door and don't come back," rest assured others will come and fill the void. Business owners and entrepreneurs are not actually a rare commodity.

We used to have free community college here and substantially lower tuition for residents and that all turned to crap like everything the government promises.
