Counterpoint: I want to see college eliminated. The idea doesn't make as much sense in the modern world and codifies the idea that companies shouldn't have to train their own employees (and raises an artificial barrier to entry!). Subsidizing collegiate institutions might cement practices that should perhaps change as time goes on. Does it truly make sense for every kid to go to school for four years? Perhaps three years would do just as well? How and when will we change the funding to each institution to accommodate that? Will the institutions be able to transition well to a three-year model? The free market is able to make such changes as fast as need be. The regulated market would push back against changes that may be necessary. I'm not saying college isn't necessary or that it isn't too expensive. I too am alarmed at the number of bankrupted kids and the hordes of immigrants stealing jobs that we should rightfully be able to fill best. However, I am saying that rushing to the solution of free college may introduce unforeseen problems in the future.
