Anyone here have thoughts on the "80 billion" dollar bill that would make tuition free across the country? I keep seeing this pop up on my Facebook feed as it is populated almost entirely with undergrads. I have an inkling the $80 billion number is way off (or at least, would be way off when accounting the increased enrollment from free college if its not offset with tougher admissions). I mean, the democrat in me feels bad for being saddled with debt after graduation, the republican in me feels that a) we shouldn't be paying so much for something with unclear benefits and b) people need to be more responsible with their choices. I turned down fancy expensive schools to go the one that gives me negative tuition so I don't really feel bad for the person from with a quadrillion dollars in debt from a fancy school when they could've gone to something more local for free.

There's also policies between "make it free" and do nothing of course, such as the Rubio discussion we had here before, and the possibility of investors being able to buy x% of a graduates future income for x years.
