.....this is just "free school" (or partially free school) repackaged.

And do you think the free market can work to bring down college prices if the govt starts paying for it? (The answer is "No", the schools will keep prices high, or more likely raise their prices by 10k since they already know what the market will bare and pocket the govt 10k for themselves).

        Happily, Ivy Tech grads aren't asking me to pay for their degrees. They're responsible individuals. - NedoftheHill - 12:05am 10/24/20

- Weird. I figured those gender studies and race studies degrees paid for themselves. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:06pm 10/23/20
  - Is the student(or parents) who are actually paying tuition more likely to choose these majors, or - BaronVonZemo - 3:10pm 10/23/20
    - You live in the world where parents pay tuition. - iairishcheeks - 7:29pm 10/23/20
      - Then they shouldn't go into debt for a major that won't allow them to get a job. - NedoftheHill - 12:15am 10/24/20

  - It's not at all free, it's applying capitalist principles to solve a problem. - iairishcheeks - 7:34pm 10/23/20
    - The socialist aspect of it will spoil it as I described. This hybrid doesn’t work (see healthcare). [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 8:05am 10/24/20
