Oh no! Some young adults might have an easier time attending college even when their lives weren't as shitty as others.

Squint and we might start looking like college tuitions in Europe.



You missed the part where I say I support the program and programs like this for foster kids that age out, I just don’t agree that the program is narrowly tailored to individual situations.

Trust me here in Florida there are many parents who put their kids in foster care at 17 so they qualify for governmental housing allowances.

I’m all for free college tuition, for all. I want an educated society, I want better paying jobs resulting in higher taxes, and I don’t want government guaranteed loans resulting in unaffordable tuition and life long debt.

I don’t think your comment adds much.

Seems like the opposite of universally accessible higher education regardless of background.


No secret that society is a metaphorical group of crabs in a bucket at times:
