by way of real estate taxes. This will be paid my entire life. Why should I pay for other people's kids to go to college as well when they are perfectly capable of doing so themselves?

Yep. I think some states already do this. Here is something I found for Georgia

Utah should have a lottery. It's the cool thing to do.

Funny thing about the HOPE...you need a 3.0 to get it & LOTS of $ goes unused

Also, I mean free tuition not costs of attending. Should have made that clear.

Arguments for it would be the same you have for public education. There

This could be true. I don't believe everyone needs a college degree.

It's already diminishing. There are hundreds of thousands of kids

Probably not since this a state school. You already subsidize your state school

Baron

just look at the use of student loans, and the cost of tuition in general

STEM is so overblown

AxelDC

Completely disagree. Free for STEM only.

If a college education is free it will be treated as such by the student and

No, you subsidize those who cannot afford it
