Choseing to be a part of the silent majority

[The Grand Nudger]

So, I ask you the following:
1. Just where should the money to support free college education come from?
2. What sort of criteria needs to be met in order for a student to get this free education?
3. If a person comes from a well off family, should their family be forced to pay for that child's college education or should that child go to school for free?

Mind if I take a crack at this?

1. Even a minor military earmark, such as a new small arms round, soaks up many more times the cash required to fund our dept of ed to near bursting.    Reach into that.  Though honestly, the issue you mentioned earlier has to do as much with school admin soaking up funds and there being little left to trickle down to teachers as it does with our level of funding. You seen the wage disparity between dept. heads and educators recently? We could free up a significant amount directly from the dept of ed itself by making changes to how they allocate what funds we already provide. If all of that fails, for whatever reason, there's a thing called a tax.

2. The same requirements that need be met for elementary, middle, and highschool educations.

3. Free.  OFC it doesn't matter much, because people from well off families (and even people from poor families when they can swing it) -already- choose to forego the free education their child could recieve and send them to private school.  That won't change.

Whaddaya think?

(and put a candidate up in a general that stumps on that and I'd be right out of my little hideyhole to vote for them, so long as it doesn't come bundled with "kill the gays" or somesuch shit, lol ).
