  1. Yes Kyle, do research on this issue. "Free college" is a very debatable topic. How about you read up on counter arguments against "free college". Kyle lives in a bubble.

  2. Because this issue is more complex than a yes or no answer

  3. Because this isn't an issue you can simply answer with a yes or no. This guy shows why he is struggling with a college degree, he is an idiot.

  4.  @RawMaterialENT  , it isn't that easy. How do you account for the increase in demand? What will stop universities from raising prices due to that? How do you account for our lack of offices and classroom sizes? How do you account for the NCAA? You leftists grossly oversimplify complex issues.

  5.  @kielweiss3606  , it isn't. Say you say "yes" that you support "tuition free college". I will than proceed in how you will do it such as how do you handle the NCAA, or the fact we lack professors, or lack classrooms in some universities, etc. Now it becomes more complex because now you will have to say "I support free college this way" where someone who supports free college may disagree with your method.

  6.  @kielweiss3606  , they haven't. How do you account for limits in classroom sizes and the ncaa?

  7. He will label her as corrupt like he always does.

  8. It isn't going to happen because doing so will ruin the value of a college degree. Also, a major elephant in the room is the NCAA. How do you handle that?

  9. Ah, boo hoo, he does not get what he wants in life. How about he looks for a job as opposed to begging for money.

  10. CC's are affordable.

  11.  @joshholland90  , there are many ways to establish tuition free college

  12.  @majintroll4454  , it isn't as easy as " give money here an tuition is free". There are several barriers to overcome and different ways take them on.

  13.  @willschoenhardt7972  , it isn't that easy. Even if you support tuition free college there are many ways to implement it. For example, how do you handle class room sizes and the NCAA?

  14. Ever thought that the American people don't want "tuition free" college?

  15. No one supporting "free college" can never tell how they will handle the issue of the NCAA.

  16. Doubt it. To start, I doubt she has a chance at all. Besides that, most millennials are entering the 30s and starting to see reality and are opposing socialism.

  17.  @jamieg2427  , ok now how do you handle the ncaa?

  18.  @Hana9916  , you still haven't addressed the NCAA. There are problems with entrance exams. So if someone went to a poor K-12 education system you are going to punish them further by denying them entrance into college even though they want to better themselves? Also, some people are not good test takers. I struggle with exams and scored a 21 on my ACT and barely scored high enough on the GRE. However, in grad school I am one of the top researchers in my department and strong in my field. Some people are good test takers but don't produce much. Others, like me, struggle with tests but when you ask them to work and produce they can. What would you rather have, good test takers or people that actually produce?

  19.  @jamieg2427  , he is asking her to be direct upfront because if she said yes or no than anything she would have said after that he would not have listened to. He had no desire to listen to any details on the issues. I can see why that, even with a college degree he is struggling. He isn't too smart.

  20.  @Hana9916  1. The NCAA deals with athletics in college. In the US we have different classes, Division I, Division II and Division III. Division I is the highest with the best athletes. The ranking is determined on scholarship limits. Division III are all walk ones, zero scholarships for athletes. Typically those schools are private schools of rich kids like Case Western for example. Division I has the most scholarships. For example, in football Division I has 85 full ride scholarships. Division II football has, if I recall, 36 full rides. They can be split up, for example, two players can have two half ride scholarship. In Division II you see that a lot, but in Division I they all get full rides which is why better athletes go there. There are also limitations such as if you are as scholarship athlete in football and you want to run track you have to be on scholarship for track. It is a balance between allowing bigger schools to succeed but also hindering them from taking all the athletes where smaller schools can still have programs. If you make college "tuition free" than how do you adjust for the NCAA no longer having to give out scholarships? What will prevent larger schools like Alabama and Clemson from just hoarding all of the athletes and smaller ones like Central Missouri from literally getting nothing? That, to me, is a huge elephant in the room when it comes to "tuition free college". 2. In the US we view college as an investment you make as an adult. If is you, after a K-12 education, and you, now as an adult, investing to better yourself. That is the real value in college. Most of what you learn in college can be self taught. The value in college is that you are showing to employers you are willing to invest in yourself to achieve a long term goal. 2. Maybe he is not poor? Maybe he is from a rural area? Rural schools have limited resources as well. 3. The idea of tests predicting success is highly debated. What I find to be ironic about the testing part is that people on the far left in the US talk about opportunity and giving it to people. But a test will prevent just that. A test will prevent someone from getting their foot in the door. In my opinion we allow for great opportunity in the US college system. If you can't afford it we have the loan program. And if you work hard enough you will succeed. In college is becomes more subjective than objective. I have a student now who struggles but they are seeking a lot of help and is personable. Even if they get a B I will recommend them over an A student who hardly conversed with me. College isn't about getting the grade. It is about investing yourself to accomplish a long term goal. It is about showing people above you that you are willing to overcome barriers to succeed. You make it "tuition free" you remove a very valuable part of college.

  21.  @Hana9916  1. In the US college sports is very popular and provide a lot of jobs and opportunities for college students. I, myself, worked in college athletics during my undergrad and it helped me progress in life. As for paying a salary, universities can't. The reason why is because with the exception of large football or men's basketball programs, college sports don't generate a profit. ESPN did a show on that  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6u271jIEGM As a whole, if athletes were paid essentially the only sports that will exist will be football and men's basketball, but Title IX won't allow that as women's sports need to exist in equal quantity to that of men's sports and women's sports don't generate high revenue. 2. Define a "well educated populace". Is going to college and learning poetry really the best for society? Is good test takers good for society? Or is productive workers best for society? There are very successful people out there who did not attend college but instead worked. Also, government offers a K-12 education to everyone. After that you are an adult, it is up to you to find away to succeed in life. Maybe college is that. Or maybe it is working a job. But that is on you as an adult. At what point do you tell people to be an adult and stop funding them? They get a K-12 education, and now you want to extend it through college? Why not go farther. Why not give people to start businesses? Why should people go into large debt to open a business and employ people? 3. This comment shows your true colors. You don't have to go into debt to finish college, many don't. But debt is opportunity. Us, as a nation, allows people to go into debt to push for a large goal. That can be a home, college, a business, etc. Us, as a nation, is so well off we allow people to go into a hole to, in the long run, succeed.

  22.  @darrickfranklin7096  , college sports are very popular in the US. College sports provide a lot of opportunity for college students. There are many jobs and ways to gain experience in college athletics. For example, undergrads can work as a student manager, student trainer, advertising, parking, etc. It creates jobs and experience for many undergrads interested in that lifestyle. That is a major part of education. Also, what it shows is that people who push for "tuition free college" have not thought this issue out. They feel that we can just pull money out of one area to fund it. They do not understand the actual details in how a college is ran.
