Rightwingers: what do you think of Bernie's plan for free tuition?

[Billy000]

The estimated cost per year for the government providing free tuition would be about 60 billion. Bernie would place a tax on Wall Street speculation to pay for it.

Now before you all go into your rants about "liberal free lunch bullshit derp, derp, derp!" you should consider WHY this is a great idea. This isn't about giving individuals hand outs, this is about how higher education benefits the country as a whole. Plenty of intelligent people who cannot afford to go to college or are discouraged by the massive student debt that they would accumulate choose not to attend. Imagine the implications if we had an influx of people getting degrees in science, public policy, or business administration. Don't you think those educated people would bring a great deal of contribution to this country?

This will encourage even more ridiculous increases in the cost of tuition.

It will encourage even more degree inflation.

You give the consumer free money to pay for products, the producers will find products to take all the money that is available.

You think Distribution of Studies is a waste of time and money now? Wait till the money is being paid by a Third Party not involved in the buying decision.

INcreased demand leads to higher prices.

Hey, I have an idea. Higher salaries to attract better teachers. Who could be against that?

And more research. Who could be against that?

And day care so that that more adult students can take advantage of the Free College. Who could be against that?

And gold plated door knobs on all the door handles! After all, it's free money! Just send the bill to the Government and they can print up more money!

Lol typically increased demand leads to lower prices, but I don't think that would happen here. You're talking about money that pays professors to do their job. It's not like the institutions are inclined to give these people big pay raises.

You honestly think Wall St and big business is going to go along with that? Nobody is entitled to a college education, you want one pay for it yourself. I did

[LordBrownTrout]

No, because americans are broke, in debt, and can't afford more worthless programs where they have to pay in more money and receive nothing.

ITS NOT FREE. This is like talking to zombies.

Lol you noob. The reason why tuition is going up is because there is less government funding going to them. It's not a matter of greed.

The estimated cost per year for the government providing free tuition would be about 60 billion. Bernie would place a tax on Wall Street speculation to pay for it.

Now before you all go into your rants about "liberal free lunch bullshit derp, derp, derp!" you should consider WHY this is a great idea. This isn't about giving individuals hand outs, this is about how higher education benefits the country as a whole. Plenty of intelligent people who cannot afford to go to college or are discouraged by the massive student debt that they would accumulate choose not to attend. Imagine the implications if we had an influx of people getting degrees in science, public policy, or business administration.

Sorry.....it is stupid. Giving money to people who may not be suited for college is a waste...by individuals seeking out their own way to college it is a selection process...otherwise you are taking money from people in the form of taxes to pay for some kid to study 17th century French poetry, coming out with no way to get a job and then ending up getting welfare because they can't support themselves....

And just using the words "public policy" shows you have no real concept of how the world works...........if you want to lower college costs...get student loans out of the hands of government.......that is what is jacking up college tuition well beyond any other expense.....

An intelligent person can get a scholarship to go to college. My grand daughter got the Zell Miller Scholarship to go to the University of Georgia. It pays 100% of the tuition and it is estimated that it will cost about 12 to 14 thousand dollars a year for room. board and books. I started her out with $2000 in a 529 College plan when she was born and added to it on her Birthday and Christmas every year. My son put $50 a month into it for 18 years and she won't have a money problem. If she doesn't keep up her grades she can still fall back on the regular Ga scholarship that pays 80% of the tuition. Since she was in the top 5% of her class and took 19 college credit hours in High School while being Captain of the Soccer team and President of the Students for Christian Athletes, I seriously doubt she will have a problem.

Then again, beer and girls interfered with my first try at college, so I enlisted and went back to graduate on the GI Bill.

Please correct this post, you can't be serious. Increase demand ALWAYS leads to HIGHER prices. Maybe you are being sarcastic, you have to be.

As for wages:

For the rest of America wages have stagnated.

And again the reason why tuition is rising is because of lees government funding. That is the route of the crisis.
