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.

Yes (or heavily helped) after verification of research on pragmatic outcome of your chosen degree; no useless degrees and reduced compensation for extremely saturated degrees (liberal arts degrees).
@8PVYR474yrs4Y
No, instead provide incentives for colleges to use ISA loans.
@8XZ2SSR3yrs3Y
The government should not pay for private college but the government should create public4 year college so everyone has a chance to an education and can get a decent job to give back to society.
