San Francisco already offers “free” college to residents,
however if you look at what your propery taxes goto, guess what, a big chunk of it goes to subsidizing colleges in the city.

All the left (socialists) want to do is redistribute money from the rich and provide “free” services to the poor in exchange for votes.

    What’s the point of going to a free college for 4 years if at the end of the day you don’t qualify for any new jobs? If everyone has a useless college degree, it doesn’t matter at all. Go do an apprenticeship or a trade school

      I’m saying what’s the point of a useless college degree? If you qualify and have the grades to get a STEM degree then by all means it should be free of cost or at least discounted to people of lower means.
      But raising taxes to pay for everyone to spend 4 years smoking weed and studying basket weaving is stupid

      This is the situation in Ukraine, my home country. Everyone have a higher education, it ranks up Ukraine as one of the most educated countriesv. However almost no one can get a job from this degree. You can get paid for studying and even get free housing, but not a job. The reason guys go to college is because they don’t have to go thru the mandatory army service. I don’t think that making college fee is a good solution. Better solution is to give people better and more equal loan deals, but they will have to give it back because they now have an incentive to work harder, and they now won’t go to college for a degree that won’t give them a job.

    I don’t think only those who can afford should attend college.

    There should be ample low interest loans available for anyone with potential to repay it —that is for those who demonstrate academic excellence and major in a field with potential to earn.

    Government and society gets a big roi for subsidizing college (for degrees that lead to higher earnings and more contribution to society).

    Boo hoo. Someone seems to have forgotten the entire UC system used to be free. Much of the NY public system used to be free.

    Free public college isn’t impossible.

  • College students generally don’t vote. Your theory needs some work.
