If society benefits from the degree, then the person earning the degree will be paid accordingly and can therefore repay any financial debt incurred in obtaining said degree.
G.I.'s were paid for their service yet they get a free education.
All the same was your argument was that society does not benefit from these degree's. Are you now backing off from that argument?
Correct me if I am wrong. When you decide to go to college you are purchasing a higher education. You have decided to bet that the higher education will pay off. It's a choice we all have the option to make. Buyer beware. Just like buying that new house, or expensive car, or any other purchase. Buyer beware, because the bill will come due.
What makes anyone think that perfect strangers should have to pay the tab? You want a college degree? Go for it, just remember you gambling with your future. Chances are you will win the bet, depending what you gambled on. I don't don't know what an art or history major has by way of future income. I'm sure some nail it. I'm also sure that quite a few end up wishing they went for something that actually had a job market waiting for them.
It's not. That was the worst decision in the history of this country. Welfare is welfare, I don't support Wall Street bailouts and I don't support Main Street welfare either.
Great......but we did it. These kids grew up seeing the Mozilo's, Blankfeins, Immelts get billions of dollars of taxpayer money, how is it now surprising that they want a little for themselves?
Why not? Having a public college and vocational system would make sense for the US.
Why not ? You really need to ask that question ?
Only the best and brightest get free tuition.
Go ahead..guess which demographic would make up those getting a free college education on taxpayer dime ? No AA allowed..strictly grades like Europe does.
Yeah..it will NEVER happen.
