Well...the notion of free health care and free college is very, very bad. We can grandstand all we like about how people have a right to things, but we'd be dooming the world to impracticality. Free College presents a myriad of problems: 1) What about the current student loan debts in the U.S.? Does the government pay all of that off? 2) Removing the cash barrier will increase competition for all colleges. An exaggeration? Tennessee Tech will require you to have a 4.0 and a 32 on the ACT to even be considered. 3) Who pays for it on the future? The rich? Lol nope. The only way to pay for free college is to lower college fees. In other words, colleges maximize profits by hiring less-than-the-best professors while maintaining high housing costs. Essentially, something will be cut significantly to comply with the U.S.'s new low cost college laws. 4) The age old truth. When everyone has a degree, no one does. [u]Honest question here: has an economy ever had a direct boost when nearly all of its population has higher education?[/u] Until I get a solid yes, we'll be looking at the precedent of the highschool degree. A degree that has lost most of its value of the years. Why? Everyone has one. ------------ The Health Care question faces nearly all 4 of these problems as well. 1) What about current debt? 2) Pay cuts will be done in some way. What do yall think Obamacare was trying to do? 3) Healthcare [u]may[/u] lose its value and therefore, become more hazardous. -------------- Do I want higher education for everyone? Of course. But why not in practical studies. Vocational activities anyone? Do I want healthcare to stop costing so damn much? Of course. That's where Obamacare came in. Healthcare costs are so high because some people simply can't pay for theirs, lumping it on to others. ----------- Has anyone realized that Bernie panders just as much as Trumpy? Good Day, Shapeless
