The free college advocates always forget to say countries with heavily government funded colleges control entrance strictly, through merit based exams, and fail out many during first year. The taxpayer money ultimately benefits wealthier children.

Devil's Advocate here – there are lots of practical 2-year programs at Community College that aren't as academic and would probably benefit even people with bad grades.
