Assuming your stats are correct, that is only about 1 year of school and that is generous, books, fees, and dorms could inflate that another 50-75%. So we will be back to the same problem, but with half the military budget. It still doesn't address how school will do with the influx of the other people suddenly signing up for classes, are we hiring more professors, building more schools etc. There are 300 million Americans, if a fifth of people currently attend college, are we able to squeeze in another 240 million people to go to college? And yes I know some are under 18 but still. Plus the 10K doesnt solve any problems, it either gives people at best a free year of school or knocks down a little debt, most people would end up just pocketing the money if it wasn't a credit for a nearby college anyway. And people will still complain if they owe 40K vs. 50K or every resume will have 30 credits under high education and that's that. And again half the military budget, guess we are not going to have new technology or enough soldiers or vechicles to do what we gotta do. |
It wouldn't solve anything. The reason why college cost so much is because there is young adults who would put themselves in debt for the rest of their lives for a college degree that may not even get them a good job. Colleges have no reason to lower the cost because of this. They want to make a lot of money like everyone else.
