[quote=temeculaguy] Then I’m reminded of the adage “you think it’s expensive now, wait till it’s free.”[/quote]
What we have now is perhaps the worst form of economics: private entities subsidized by public money.
College education is already socialist. The UC system is the biggest employer in California. Government backed private student loans have been a huge factor in rising college costs. Private, for-profit colleges have made billions from students using government guaranteed loans to pay tuition.
We’d be much better off with a direct form or socialism than the one we have today. If government provided college for free, there would be more transparency and fewer middlemen taking a cut.
