    Good thread! I'd also add that the supposedly regressive impact of free college ed has been debunked by @Econ_Marshall, among others.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1200261361391017984 …

    Alexandria Ocasio-CortezVerified account @AOC
    This is a GOP talking point used to dismantle public systems, & it’s sad to see a Dem candidate adopt it. Let’s talk about why Republicans are wrong on this. Just like rich kids can attend public school, they should be able to attend tuition-free public college. Here’s why. https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1200227721923760130 …

        I’ve been against it because it was touted as you did, “free college.” “Free *public* college” (or close to it) was what there was until the Republicans began choking off state aid, is altogether better justified, and promotes egalitarianism.

        Putting more of a funding burden up to a GOP Congress is going to make it even easier to choke off right?

        Who’s going to pay for all these teachers? Taxpayers? How much can we pay before we yell “ouch”?

        Supply and demand. If everyone gets to go to college where will all these seats come from? Either they become over crowded and quality goes down or build more schools raising prices. If everyone goes to college no longer makes you more employable. You will have cashiers with MBAs

        Funding is only half of the equation. Cost controls are the other. Why have college costs outpaced inflation by so much for so long? Why?
