They don't need to strongarm colleges and universities (not generally a great look to interfere in the free market, even more so after China just killed private education as that invites some unpleasant comparisons). In fact they need to do even less than they already do and drop the amount they guarantee and possibly lessen the quite insane protections they have (though I can see a debate there). If a college is guaranteed to get back so much from them then they can price it right up to the line, and probably a bit more too (some will inevitably pay some back so you can assume a tiny bit of risk there). You can even watch the price rises fall in line with the limit rises of various things.
At that point they only accept those in that they can be sure will do well, the rich families (which were never troubled anyway) rather than anyone with a pulse that may fail out, be given a worthless bit of paper, skip those that might be served better by doing a less demanding field rather than cramming them ultimately through at a cost to them, drop prices to be more competitive...
College is free in most other developed countries, so you're not making a very good selling point. :unsure:

it became so obvious to me in that single statement why you adamantly refused to talk about the shitting habits of old people. i get not wanting to reveal something about your demographic, old timer.

The only way college can be free is if the professors and the university staff are all slaves.

What you meant to say is that the cost of college is hidden from the public and they make billions off the taxpayers. Billions that could be used to house the homeless, feed starving children or to give to Ukraine.

So we are in agreement that college is not free in other countries? I noticed you skipped that part of my comment all together.

I have no problems learning my "lesson", it's just that you do not have the knowledge or experience to teach anybody anything.

I don't always respond to every talking point at the same time. But yes, if we in the U.S.A. were to be like other countries, then we all pay into the pot (with taxes), and reap what we sow ("free" college (that we already pay into)) from it. Just like we do with public education. We just need to expand public education to include college. That's it. Everyone benefits, and there's no down-sides.

"Free college? REEEEEEE!!!!! B-b-but what about those who already paid off their student loans?"

Uh, Good for them I guess..? :unsure:

Honestly i think we should give more funding to public education as man..... teachers really dont have alot to teach with, maybe more money into the school system would help out more people if im not wrong. Maybe take a mark from some states and make free lunch a permanent in it all public schools?

Hopefully for the Presidential election, they make stimulus check promises again, and actually give us the full amount this time. They gave us 1.4k instead of 2k, and tried to gaslight us into being bad at math.

So you basically want poor people to pay for college degrees for upper middle class people. I'd love to see you try to sell that.

there's been a solution for years in regards to taxation going towards the other end, but every time that anyone brings up anything left of Mussolini you worthless old people cry "socialism" like it's a chant that will bring joseph mccarthy back from his spot in hell.
