Obama to propose free community college

[sayyestothis]

I dont have a problem with paying for those things if they make society better. Scandinavian countries have extensive public programs and are also very happy places to live (despite being cold as fukk)- IMO the two things are highly related.

Americans love to puff their chests and pretend like we are all individuals on little islands but really we all benefit from help. If you are making regular money, yea you pay taxes but for the most part all the public shyt you use- roads, airports, police, whatever- are subsidized by people with way more money than you as rich people pay the lion's share of taxes. Unless you went to private school someone bankrolled that for you too. So the idea that a society that helps lift its people up through collectivism is a bad thing is ridiculous. There are plenty of real life examples of it working.

The key is for things to be rational and accountable. Id rather have a 50% tax rate and extensive public programs with a govt that actually represents the interests of its people, than be paying the 40% or w/e Im paying now in total and live under a cronyist regime touting bootstrap propaganda. Wake up

^^^yeah just not going to agree with paying for things for people that are perfectly capable of doing it on their own...sorry.

Everyone in society is shifting to the mindset of wanting it all for no cost....it's a shame. Makes me worry for my son's generation...

I'm about to go back to school for my Masters. Why can't he propose free MD programs? cut it in half..do something

There have three year MD programs in Cali to cut down on the overall cost (same curriculum).

To be honest, many people in the United States graduate from high school without a being entirely proficient in reading, writing, and mathematics. These people go on to raise children that they have a difficult time helping with basic school work, which only contributes to the cycle of under preparedness. Even if people didn't benefit financially from this program (I'm sure many will), they and their children would benefit from those two additional two years of basic education.

if community college is free then it will become the new highschool.

Seriously?? That's awesome! I bet the cost for an OOS student would be ridiculous

That's a good question that I'm not sure about.

Instead of a 2.5 should make it a 2.8 or 3.0 minimum. Make folks actually work for it

All this is going to do is over-saturate Community Colleges with more general education instructors, unqualified/unsuccessful students, and raise taxes.

Expanding Financial Aid for Grad School and fixing the public High Schools would be better options. Hate to sound like I'm bashing Obama - good intentions but the result won't turn out well. A 2.5 GPA is a joke unless you are a STEM major working 25+ hours a week. Community Colleges are already playing clean up for public schools and this would continue to turn Community College to flabby & sick status.

Agreed, IMO if you can't afford community college, you simply don't belong in one.
