Biden free college a reality?

[Seagull]

I keep reading more and more about Biden free college plan and wonder how soon it will become a reality?

Will it be a good thing or not?

K12 public schools are already free, so why not higher education?

Some colleges are too expensive to the point of ridiculous.

The government (read "our tax dollars") paying does NOT make a school less expensive!

Nobody has to choose an expensive school.  If we all just said "no thanks, I'm only going somewhere I can afford" expensive schools would go out of business. The reason they stay around is because people choose to go there.

Agree, although I believe some expensive colleges thrive on donations of wealthy families, and rich people want prestigious names on their degree because that is an immediate recognition on where they got degree from, not denying that people choose that which is not necessarily a bad thing, we live in a capitalistic country still. 

And yes the entire school system should improve so that students k12 and above actually learn something. School won't make people smarter but at least if more people were able to go to college there will be improvements in many other aspects of society, including less crime. 

There is such a thing as joy of learning and lots of us especially on this forum have discovered that. Even a free course that doesn't give any transferable credits can be enjoyable. 

In the end there are always individuals that won't choose a path just because they think it is not for them.
They will still be able to focus on a skill and be successful
In the end you do not need college to be successful
I know lots of self employed people that are successful and only have a high school education.
