Topic	AOC dismantles Pete Buttigieg's attacks on free public college
Broseph_Stalin 11/30/19 2:21:14 AM #17:	King_Hutton posted... Its practically free if you ignore the loans necessary to pay for it! No one said anything about loans. Tuition is already dirt cheap, if not free, for students from low-income families. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/24/tuition-at-public-universities-is-10230-a-year-on-average.html https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-10-09/make-sure-u-s-universities-remain-the-world-s-best Most people aren't aware of this because the progressives arguing for free tuition aren't actually poor, they generally come from comfortable backgrounds like AOC does. And actual poor students aren't making it into college in the first place to take advantage of low tuition cost, which is my point. Guide posted... Can you go more in depth on this? I don't know how it works for rich people. Since tuition isn't the main barrier for poor people getting into college, making it free does nothing to help them. You can't give people free storage space for their yachts and then pretend it's not a handout for the rich. Rich kids going to college and getting even richer isn't a problem, we don't need to be paying for it. <cite>Broseph_Stalin posted [p:930897554] in AOC disman...
