Look at the drop out rate in K-12 and the ever increasing cost per student graduated for that "basic" education. If every moron can not only go to college "free" but also major in underwater basketweaving, or some equally unmarketable field, simply to live on a "loan" for 4 to 7 more years then who will really benefit? I would support trying this college loan plan, on a trial basis, for only basic tuition/book assistance (no "other expenses", room and board would be covered) and only for STEM degrees, but with one important caveat - if you do not pay off the loan within ten years then you will be forced to do full time community service work (paid at minimum wage) with $1/hour taken off the loan balance until that entire student loan is repaid.
You had me until the indentured servant part. :rofl
Yeah, you're probably right about much of what you say. Our government never uses one freakin' ounce of common sense in those entitlements they implement. "Come one! Come all!"
