A 2017 College Board study estimated that the cost of college has increased 100% since 2001. The St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank estimates that U.S. college tuition debt has increased from $480 billion in 2006 to $1.5 trillion in 2018. Several 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary candidates have argued that the cost of college is out of control and that the government should pay for tuition. Opponents argue that the government cant afford it and point to estimates from the Committee for a Responsible Federal budget that estimate programs would cost the government $80 billion a year.

No, the entire reason college is so expensive is because of government involvement. Because colleges know then that they can increase their expenses and it ends up causing more people to rely on the government in order to get through college and putting them in debt. I want no government involvement with colleges.

I think the government should give that opportunity for everyone to get help with paying for college If they want the opportunity. because it is very hard for people who's parents have a lot of money to get help but a lot of times those kids are paying for all of there college as well. I think they could also help poor people too but make it more of a form instead of based off of income.

When Goverment get involved with paying for education the college take advantage by making education more cosly, the only one who end up benefeting are the college and university. becouse in the long run individuo who go to college will end up been tax payer. I think goverment should implement reulation that prevent colleges and university from charging so much. and give same opportunity to all low or hight incomearn student to earn scolarship.

The price of tuition along with housing and supplies is expensive. Certain classes should not be required for a degree, like PE or an art class. They should lower the price of tuition and lower the interest rate on student loans because thousands of people are drowning in student loans because of crippling interest rates.

I am open to states funding this. If they think they can tell public universities what they can and can't each, then they better start funding it (I am somewhat sarcastic because I live in a state that is restricting freedom of speech at universities). I am less optimistic about federal funding right now though I think it is necessary.

I say depending on the Major the student is going to study. If its something like medicine for people or animals, yes cover at least SOME. If its over art or something like that. Then they don't need to cover as much because isn't those already cheaper? Like, the more expensive the courses are, the more funding should be covered.

high school should be enough to be successful in America. If it is not then adding more education will not likely solve any of our economic issues. So no but also yes as we can subsidize public university tuition depending on income like we currently do.
Private universities should never get tuition assistance.
