Shoud college be free
Look, I get the idealistic appeal, but "free" college is a fantasy that would absolutely destroy the value of higher education while creating a massive taxpayer burden. Here's what you're really proposing: forcing plumbers and electricians to subsidize philosophy degrees through their taxes. Why should a working-class family pay for someone else's kid to study gender theory for four years? That's not fairness - that's wealth redistribution disguised as education policy.And here's the brutal reality: recent college graduates face a 15.3% unemployment rate [1]. When you eliminate the artificial scarcity that comes with paying for something, you eliminate its perceived value. Free college would flood the market with even more underqualified graduates competing for jobs that don't require degrees. You're essentially advocating for the government to subsidize credential inflation. When everyone has a bachelor's degree because it's "free," employers will just demand master's degrees instead. You've solved nothing - just moved the goalposts and wasted billions in taxpayer money. The real solution? Stop pretending college is necessary for success. Mike Rowe has been saying this for years - we need skilled trades, not more sociology majors drowning in debt. Make college competitive again by forcing students to have skin in the game.
