So you got free tuition. Of course you're not mad paying for some veteran's tuition because you got free tuition yourself from all the rest of us. Yet here you are complaining about free tuition. Oh the irony.
Yes. he is complaining about lazy millenials wanting free tuition without contributing ANYTHING.
Worm out of what? First off, I haven't been in the military since 2010. Second, the taxpayers (including me) paid for my schooling because I'm a war vet and actually did something. I could've easily sat around and demanded free schooling with no contribution on my end, but I made an contractual agreement with the government. I also paid for further education myself (along with my spouse's). You know what that resulted in? Me paying 4k in taxes MONTHLY after I got a better position. Have you ever paid 48k just in taxes? You know what I could've done with 48k? A lot of people don't even gross that.
If you have a problem with any veteran receiving educational benefits, that's something you need to take up with Veterans Affairs. I'm paying for another veteran's schooling right now, you mad? I'm not.
Oh how they'll try to put down a vet. It might work for their ilk but the rest of us who see right through their spin in an attempt to justify getting something for nothing is funny and insulting. Thank you for your service.

It wasn't free. It was paid back through service.
Free would be to get that tuition and never pay it back in any way. What about college grads paying back their tuition by working as EMT's, cops, or doctors at low minimum pay in needy communities?

Proving beautifully why there shouldn't be "free" college educations. All schools are these days are propaganda-spewing indoctrination camps that teach hate for our military.
How about a cap on salaries paid by the universities? Coaches, professors that teach only a few courses, administrators - they make a LOT of money, which is passed down to the students. Just capping tuition without capping salaries would only mean that taxes would have to be raised to take up the slack at public universities.
Yep, universities, professors, coaches make a lot of money and they want more. Out of one side of their liberal mouth they support it (hoping no one can see through it) and claiming they care but you'll never see these liberals supporting a pay cut.
One doesn't even have to be in active duty to get GI benefits so that argument is totally null & void. The whole idea is laughable. "I'm so sick of people wanting free things, I'm tired of people complaining about paying for things"....."oh look, I get school for free!" You know who I'd rather have my taxpayer money go towards? A person who's had a hard time in life looking to get their life on track with education. Someone who probably doesn't have the money, nor does their family, to get an education. Not some military person who probably didn't lift a finger in a danger zone the whole time they served then has the audacity to complain about higher education & calls people lazy or undeserving when they themselves got theirs paid for by us taxpayers.
I didn't say "wouldn't pay tuition" I said "would not pay for". Excluding mandatory fees is pretty disingenuous when you are talking about the cost of attendance.
Wrong! thats not what you said!!
Also, tuition alone is $2145.96 per semester for in state residents. Not sure where you got that number. It's $2517.36 per semester for in state residents including mandatory fees.

Tax payer money going to support the liberal propaganda machine. Hitler made it law for the kids to go to Hitler youth camps ie.. Nazi propaganda machine. We're getting closer and closer.
A college degree has become a necessity for upward mobility for most people. Entirely free college is a bit impractical, but what's happening now sure isn't sustainable unless America wants to grow increasingly poorer and more stratified. If you don't aim for the extreme, you won't get even half that.
The problem isn't the Millennials, it's the more mature generations who have—by a long series of selfish and shortsighted mistakes—created a situation in which our children will very likely be worse off than we are. The Boomers and even the Gen-Xers (like me) have been terrible economic stewards. Any one of us who would be indignant about the wishes of Millennials for dramatic relief from the nightmare we've made for them should look very hard in the mirror. We've done this. They are only reacting to it.

Yep, they created spoiled children who want everything handed to them.
