Who said they are static? "The general idea is that you can increase overall productivity with education" But does this general idea actually work? Unless you just give everyone a diploma, the problem will just be pushed further down the education chain. If college were free, there will be a greater demand (of potential students) and the same amount of supply (universities) as we've always had. This will mean more strict enrollment guidelines (IE: more difficult testing) and students that have the money for tutors or the parents that can help them study will always be at an advantage, and get in. To me, this seems like it will just be a repeat of what we have now. It's a quick-fix that is doomed to fail. We should completely get rid of the student loan system. Colleges will be forced to reduce their rates because nobody will actually be able to afford it and offer some scholarships to the academically talented. Not everyone should go to college. You can still make a very good living in the skilled trades (plumber, electrician). Free tuition for all will not solve this issue and magically make students more capable, educated, or interested in a 4 year degree.
