Your first problem is that you think Republicans are anti-education. Not thinking that one person should be forced to fund college for someone else isn't the same as being anti education. I'm all for anyone that wants it getting an education as long as they pay for it. It's not my place to fulfill the responsibility that another kid's parent.
The second problem is that you assume having a degree automatically gives an opportunity. At least you aren't one of those that says if they go to college they'll get out, get a better paying job, and then be a taxpayer instead of someone living on welfare as if funding it automatically guarantees it. The lefties make it out as if it's a guarantee on return for what they call an investment. I've had a few question whether all investments I've made personally worked. To that I respond, no but the choice whether or not to invest was mine not theirs and if it didn't work, I had no one but myself to blame. With the concept of forcing taxpayers to "invest" in college for someone else's kid, we don't have a choice and when that investment fails, those demanding the money be invested are hard to find nor are they willing to accept blame for it being a bad one.
