The hostility being directed towards me is really off the charts. I never suggested that we should force them to loan the money. You guys need to chill the ef out seriously Christ.

As, a taxpayer I am more than willing to pay for folks taking STEM classes. But that's it.
No value to the liberal arts classes. Those students can pay for their education.
Unless you are on the list of 40 people who have between $30-$201 billion in assets (for this particular thought experiment) you would not even be approached.
Why make secondary education free, when for almost all subjects, secondary education is obsolete??
For centuries, universities were these places where the collected wisdom and knowledge of the ages was gathered. You needed to go to the university if you wanted to become an educated person. If you wanted to learn medicine, you needed to go to the only places where knowledge about that was available. The same was true of history, literature, philosophy, chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, engineering, etc.
At present, every scrap of information you can find at a university can be found online. Now there may need to be some process of verifying that an individual has actually read and studied the material and that the source is valid, but what can I learn at a University that I can't learn at home on my computer? If it's not hands-on training, you can get all the same information without going to college.
The biggest thing still driving the demand for college degrees? The hiring boss thinks, "I had to get one of those damn things. It took me a lot of time, money, and effort. If I had to get a college degree, so should you!"
Actually, labor laws are the driving factor with respect to credentials.
Many state and federal laws control how employees are hired and paid.
In the past, employees who were hourly, and worked a lot of overtime, were promoted to salaried positions that had no overtime bonus. So that loophole was plugged by requiring a college degree for "salaried" positions.
The hostility being directed towards me is really off the charts. I never suggested that we should force them to loan the money.
Sure. It just happens that forcing them is the only way your scheme would ever move forward. And if the people you were going to take it from, say they want no parts of your schemes, then forcing is what you'll be "reluctantly" have to do.
