What would make sense is a system where the Government funds very generously, accommodation and food as well, for bright kids to do the degrees to qualify for jobs society needs filled, we need more plumbers, that's free, we don't need Eng Lit graduates so you need to pony up for that.
Secondly free tuition doesn't help the poor to go to college as the major cost of college is living expenses not tuition, so free college only benefits the middle and upper classes who can afford to pay for the rent and food for their kids.
It is just another middle class tax grab in the end

You completely missed the point but glad you have all the answers to how everything will play out and the intentions and outcomes of everyone involved. I have a sneaking suspicion you are a boomer. No offense to the boomers who have open minds.
