I'm not sure why college is so expensive in the US. Tuition is clearly not the cost of education itself; effective study is very cheap, especially in our day and age. The richest country in the world can afford to educate its youth for free, like various less-opulent countries dohttps://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1075502535409065984 …

It’s maybe true only for motivated ones. Many may go for Netflix instead to get their education.

The rise in education costs in America is a travesty. And we could pay for everyone who wants it to have a quality higher education. Democratic candidates for president backed free college education to varying degrees. GOP has been waging a war on education for a generation
