Y'all realize that if you 'make public colleges tuition-free', you're writing a blank check for college administrators to raise tuition rates to any level they want, and for tax-payers to be on the hook for trillions? It'll be like cost-plus contracts for the Pentagon.https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1069649195961905153 …
increase the minimum wage to $15/hr

Some folks are objecting: but gov't could just impose price caps, regulate, & micro-manage -- just like for public K-12 schools. So we could create a whole new lobbying industry & make public colleges just as inefficient, ideological, and un-innovative as public high schools?
And public high schools are massive failures. Ask any college professor how much remedial work many high school graduates need to do....
In reality it does not work like that. Plenty of good examples around the world if you care to look beyond your borders. This comment is just ill informed fear mongering.
I worked in British academia for 9 years, and I'm fully aware of the pros & cons of gov't support for university tuition there.
So, if you wanted to nationalize American universities and _cut_ their budgets, where would you start? Faculty salaries? Classroom maintenance?
This seems uncharitable. Is there some reason I'm missing that the law can't just be "tuition-free up to $X" or something like that?
2018: "tuition here is $16,000 a year" 2019, up to $20k covered by federal government: "tuition here is $36,000 a year"
