Why the fuck should college be free? Does Sanders realize that America needs millions of low wage jobs to make it run? You want a bunch of college grads making $10 an hour at McDonalds?
his belief is that we're a global economy now. unless we find ways to innovate, we cannot compete globally.
Look at it this way... Picture the average McD worker you see when you walk in. They're slow, not all that focused, unable to really find efficient ways of doing things. NOW replace that person with YOU, a getbigger college graduate. I bet you could walk in that place and find 20 ways to make the dang place run more efficiently on Day 1, because you're focused and clever and inventive. College gave you those skills.
Now, imagine all the stupid, slow people working in menial jobs that you see on a daily basis. NOW, imagine them with higher IQs. Imagine them with strong communication skills, math ability, and greater logic ability. They'd be able to do that job BETTER and reduce the # of people needed - and thus make more money.
You give me clever 3 college grads, and I bet we can run a McD better than 6 unfocused stoner high school dropouts.
