And where do you expect him to get that money? I hate how people buy into this "free college" bull. If college is reduced who will pay the professors, the maitinance, the entire system that gets students their degree? No you don't care as long as you're not paying
1)
Ending for-profit universitys so students aren't treated as costumers and schools products to sell so a small group of people can become rich, but rather, treating students like STUDENTS.
2)
Making it tuition free, meaning FOR STUDENTS. Taxes would pay for it the same as kindergarten through highschool.
This is almost universal for other countries like all of Scandinavia and Japan.

One of the things I've been confused about is whether or not this would apply to private colleges. The ones that don't get government funding. Would they be required to do this as well?

It would essentially replace the federal loans program. So you basically pay back the tuition with the money you make over your life through taxes rather than a loan you can't pay for. Private tuitions that get ZERO federal funding? Um well eliminating the for profit ones (those would be made illegal) I genuinely dont know. But for places like Yale, it would be paid for via taxes rather than a loan.

:P no prob. People will call me a socialist for describing what some of happiest, highest per capita income (median), lowest rates of wealth inequality, and most economically stable countries do but whatever.
I'm not paying taxes for other people to go get schooling. U want free college join the military. Earn it.

A) very few taxes would be put on average Americans to pay for that
B) mostly people on wall st are paying for it.
C) The students themselves would pay a very large portions if not all of it with the few taxes they would have placed on them, assuming they can get a job with said degree that makes them 100,000+ dollars a year

And what's different about college vs K-high? Why only pay for a part of a person's educations, but not (arguably) the most important and life impacting?
He plans tax the top 1% a lot more, bring back the estate tax, and tax wall street speculation. Those rich asshole have more than enough to pay for kids' school.
So we want college to be funded by the government like public k-12. Because everyone knows that is a well respected institution. Other places paid for by taxes are the post office, the DMV and prisons. Such efficiency.
I paid for college myself. I went to community college for the first two years for only $5,000 a semester. Because of that I got a scholarship to a university and paid for my books by getting them on amazon rather than the student store. I worked on campus
So u would get discounts on food and I dont complain. Because I didn't go whining to anyone about how I didn't feel like a student. I felt like an adult, I was treated like an adult, and that's exactly what I wanted from college
My.
God.
This is beautiful.
