Just be honest, you want "free" post-secondary for yourself because you want "free" post-secondary for yourself.
Isn't this the same with any government program?

Child credits transfers debt from private individuals (parents) to the government/tax payer.

I think the premise is that we get rid of child tax credits and move it to fund free (or more subsidized) post-secondary.

As a childless adult that's finished school already, I'd much prefer that than giving money to people with kids.
