A good idea. Tax everybody with a college degree and pay for it.

Except in any services provided by a workforce supported by taxes! I.e. education included.

Covid or not... I am NOT for "SAVING" USA higher education in it's current state.
1) I and others are expected to hire the output (which is often very pathetic).
2) I contribute over $20k / yr to USA schools via property taxes, and have for many, many yrs. The results of my investment(?) is very sad.
3) USA society has to deal with what we (USA) are imposing on students. (poor education) - = scary

While I agree with your post, I am just curious as to which international colleges are free to USA students?

https://www.student.com/articles/cou...ree-europe/amp

Don't forget the USA universities that are free.
https://uscollegeinternational.com/2...versities-usa/

And the many that are still < $10k / yr., Including some really great schools.

Or
https://www.fastweb.com/college-sear...ollege-tuition
https://www.valuecolleges.com/rankin...tuition-costs/

I.e, there are vast 'affordable' options for college, and likely more accessible than ever before. (Reduced standards, antidiscriminatory, , varied grants and scholarships, high endowment levels. Accessible information.)

If you want to reduce the cost of college, get the federal government out of it. The only 2 items you can't declare bankruptcy on are College Loans and money due to the IRS.
