Free college makes sense, though, as an investment in upgrading our country's abilities. I mean, there has been a lot of discussion about a bunch of ppl that used to have jobs that don't now due to automation and moving them out of country. One way to get ppl like that back into good paying jobs would be free secondary ed. Then you have more ppl with the ability to earn more than $12/hr providing better lives for those ppl, more places where employers can take advantage of a higher educated source of labor, higher tax rev for the govt(local and fed), less drain on entitlements, etc.Public ed was organized in our country to help ppl be better employees. It seems like a logical next step would be public college ed given that the new factory job is not putting crap together, but rather keeping the robot that puts crap together running well. Sure, that isn't as fist-pump-eff-yeah friendly, but it is logical.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I had K-State, housing, and food paid for and had enough left to buy a 1993 Ford Ranger. To be fair, it was 1996 when I bought it.

I was in National Honors Society, held a 3.8 GPA in HS, but scored a 17 on my ACT so I didn't get crap. I had baseball scholarships, but I wanted to be a cat.
Yes. Confirmed.
I thought 21 was the minimum for both but I don't really keep up with that stuff

However, I don't think you can say a welder, crane operator, or carpenter is a better investment than an engineer or doctor as far as the country goes.
