NY Offers "Free" College to Every Student Whose Family Makes under $125k

[GHook93]

I did a search and didn't see a thread on this, so if there is one I apologize.

Many issues with this:
(1) Why is it set at $125k? $125k a year is not that much money anymore. Esp in NY it is middle class. These people will struggle to send their kids to college also.

(2) It is not free! It will come from tax dollars. So the $125k+ earners will have to pay for their kids tuition and everyone else's!

(3) College costs will skyrocket in NY. For the $125k+ families they are going to pay the highest tuitions in the world.

It used to be attack the rich! Now it is attack the upper portion of the middle class!

One of the best ways to make something really expensive is to make it "free".

Cuomo is also closing Indian Point which provides 25% of the electricity for NYC and Westchester country.

Now you see how Progressives turn everything into Venezuela

Taxpayers flee ...

Taxpayers flee ...

Businesses too. Didn't NY go to a state-wide m-wage law recently? If I was an entrepeneur or investor there's no way in hell I would want anything to do with starting a new business in NY. Or California. Or Illinois. Or, well you get the idea.

Snowflakes are hilarious.

It's another BIG government money grab.

They'll turn college into 13-16th grades. WONDERFUL.

They should concentrate less on academic colleges and more on Vocational schools. Also, the grants should be limited to STEM degrees and maybe things like accounting only.

We don't need any more over-educated baristas.

The devil is in the details. Few cogent taxpayers would begrudge the cost of college tuition for top students pursuing meaningful degrees or certificates. I hope this benefit is not going to be handed out to students studying ethnic or gender studies.

 

[ClosedCaption]

It's a good thing. Anyone can look at anything and think up other ways other people should've done it. For example: if $125k isn't high enough then what is?

The peanut gallery will just scream "it should be more! Or less! Or something other than what it is!

$125k in NY isn't a lot of money. Do you want to reduce crime or nah?

$126K and you're "rich".

[ScienceRocks]

This is great news!

This is far better then just giving out money as teaching a man to fish = eating for life....I'd probably tie it too programs and degrees that are "good" but either way this is a great idea.

Make the Rich Businessmen Who Mandate This Tell Their Sons to "Work Their Way Through College"


There is only one issue, which the educationists never let us think about: the student still has to live miserably on part-time jobs, like a slacker who is afraid to grow up. It's the same as telling a construction worker, "You won't get paid until this four-year project is finished, but you won't have to pay for the tools you use." Free tuition is a desperate attempt to save this indentured-servitude system. If students aren't paid, they're not worth anything.

Preppy Progressives

Cuomo is a political HeirHead; they should be banned from holding office.

More likely he's just being obtuse, that's how he is.

I got his point, the snowflake made up something to take offense to then proceeded to whine toward the strawman he just built.

It would be rather effective if I were an idiot
