Free College Education

[justaguy]

The idea of free education is a plausible way to capture the imagination of potential College students. But maybe that should be limited to "subjects" that could benefit the Country in terms of economic growth. The disciplines of Engineering and the Sciences (and all sub divisions of these subjects) would warrant full support of the Government and US companies. Of course failure to complete the degree course successfully would require the student to pay back all their past tuition fees; nothing is that free !!!

There is no such thing as "free" college education, someone is paying for it

You're an idiot. Lots of things are called free that are paid for by someone.

Then it is not free.

Lots of people enlist for the benefit of a free education.

Most normal people can understand the meaning of the use of the word 'free' in various contexts. Apparently you can't.

Perhaps you can explain how something that costs something is free?

Semantics. If that is your argument, you lost.

 

[Old Rocks]

The resistance of the idea of the first two years of college being free is more based on the 'Conservatives' hatred of knowledge, and those that work to obtain it than on the economics of the idea.

If you knew anything, you'd know that Bernie Sanders is calling for tuition free college at certain schools.

That is not a misnomer. If you apply to a college were there is no tuition charge, your tuition is zero. Tuition free.

Get it?

Bernie Sanders acknowledges the cost and has the plan to pay for it:

1. FULLY PAID FOR BY IMPOSING A TAX ON WALL STREET SPECULATORS.
   The cost of this $75 billion a year plan is fully paid for by imposing a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed the economy seven years ago. More than 1,000 economists have endorsed a tax on Wall Street speculation and today some 40 countries throughout the world have imposed a similar tax including Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, and China. If the taxpayers of this country could bailout Wall Street in 2008, we can make public colleges and universities tuition free and debt free throughout the country.

It's a WORD used to describe something you receive at no cost.

Nothing is free? People set stuff out in front of their houses around here all the time. FREE.

What's the cost? To whom?

 

[NYcarbineer]

So Trump won't be getting us that wall for FREE, with the Mexicans paying for it? Even if they did pay for it?

Ah! So it's not free, it's TUITION FREE. That's not what the OP said. You just moved the goalposts.

So Uncle Bernie admits he's not promoting free college education but rather one that is paid for by someone other than the students with money confiscated from "EVIL CAPITALISTS" who "nearly destroyed the economy seven years ago."

If Uncle Bernie can admit the education won't be free, why can't you? I mean, it's HIS plan.

State colleges used to be pretty much free.
