Question for Democrats re Free College Tuition

[AzogtheDefiler]

UMASS Amherst is $34k per year. Tuition + Fees. Massachusetts is the most blue state in the country. Every single member of Congress is a Democrat. Governor is a Democrat.

Why is the school so expensive? Should it not be free? GOP led states certainly went down their road on abortion, women’s rights (trans), border security and policing.

Why doesn’t MA make the college more affordable or even free? And set the standard?

Genuinely curious to the replies.

Thank you

Edit: since Leftists are so literal. It’s $35k including Food and Housing Fees, mandatory for 1st year students. Subsequent years students may live off campus and buy their own food, that isn’t free either.

Remember, corrupt Dems get a kick back on this money. That's why the cost is ridiculous.

Yeah so $35k. And it’s a state school. Guess Elizabeth Warren is a hypocrite.

No it doesn’t. Why do you constantly troll?

Are you ever not a troll? You have to get the meal plan and room and board year one. Those too are fees.

What about the housing and food fees? Those are required. So the all in cost is $35k as specified.

Leftists don't care how much things cost. They can let prices ride and just give everyone more money, charged to a national debt they believe never has to be paid back.

Tuition and fees are different than room and board.

That’s fine but then don’t run on eliminating college debt and or free state school tuition

I clarified My OP. And if you ever sent a kid to college you would know that it’s all part of the same package. $35k and Liz Warren runs on college debt forgiveness. Tsk tsk tsk
