Free college is not the answer
Many young people were duped by student loan programs, and it seems highly unfair to burden them with a lifetime of debt. Consequently, I am in favor of aggressive debt forgiveness for those graduates struggling in low and moderate wage employment. But without compelling universities to cut costs and faculty to teach more and be more relevant about what they teach, free tuition schemes will leave higher education a terrible burden to the federal government when rising deficits are already stressing the budget.
