  5.  @minskghoul  1. Making college tuition free does devalue a college degree. The value of college is that you are making an investment as an adult. You find a way to get into college and accomplish the long term goal of earning a degree. If you make it tuition free you create easy access to it in which it loses value. People have this false idea that college is an extension to high school. The lady there brought up K-12. The reality is that college is vastly different compared to high school. 2. Wall Street speculation taxes have failed. 3. From Bernie's own site "Under the College for All Act, the federal government would cover 67% of this cost, while the states would be responsible for the remaining 33% of the cost" Also "Also, without student debt graduates will have much higher disposable income and higher net" That leads to inflation. 4. European universities are not as strong as US ones. There is a reason why the US has the highest enrollment of international students. Also, there is simply a completely different culture in Europe. As pointed out in the book "Debunking Utopia" people from Nordic nations who come to the US are still successful. And it comes down to what employers value. According to eurostat employment for those who graduated with a tertiary education was around 83%, in the US, according to NCES, it was around 86%. 5. Paying off student loans does reward bad behavior. What it does is creates entitlement that when someone messes up they can just beg for a handout from the government where people who were responsible are the ones paying.
