Heaven forbid we actually get something useful for our tax dollars.
You know like education, retirement, health care, infrastructure.
Better we give it to rich corporate owners thru privatization, spend it on weapons we don't need and don't work, spend it on spying on the American people, give it to a colonial settler state in the Middle East to kill innocents.
An inside glimpse at the Occupied Mind.
Inequality in the US keeps going up. That's been the trend ever since first Nixon, then Reagan signed big cuts in the top marginal tax rate. Look at a graph of the Gini index over time. This level of inequality has all sorts of negative effects that I shouldn't have to explain to you. Something needs to stop it, and unregulated markets won't do it. There are lots of good examples of how to do it, and they involve increased union participation, increased taxes on the rich, and a bigger public sector. If you don't like that solution, how do you propose reversing the trend toward drastic inequality that we've seen since the late '60s?

Not one penney for american kids wanting to go to college!
More money for foreign aid for the AUE so we can hang out at the internet cafe and smoke our hooka-pipes while watching american forces fight our battles!
maybe the college will be as successful as our American HSs.
Ok, so it's "free" then what?
Do colleges have to take everyone? If not, then what criteria do they use? Then what happens when we realize that X school only took in Y number of black kids? Or that only a small fraction of the black kids admitted made it past their sophomore year?
Government going to step in an mandate a pass rate, and acceptance rate? Accuse everyone of being "racist"?

it's a good thing, no doubt.
I don't think those issues need to be addressed any differently than they are now. There's no reason a school's admissions policy would have to change. For people with low high school grades, community colleges accept anyone who's finished high school. If there's reason to believe a school's treating one group unfairly it would be dealt with through the law, just like it always has been.
