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.

@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but the percentage of tuition paid should be based on pre-determined income brackets for the student's parents
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but as a percentage of tuition that is based on pre-determined income brackets
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, tuition should be paid by percentage based on preset income brackets. Trade schools should be included alongside public colleges and universities
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, percentages of tuition should be paid based on preset income brackets. Trade schools should be included alongside public colleges and universities
@942ZCJX2yrs2Y
I would add technical and other schools like auto mechanics and heavy industry and nursing.
@942NY9Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be based on academic merit.
@942FBBK2yrs2Y
Yes, but only to high performing highschool students.
@6TX64TR2yrs2Y
Yes, but ban private education
@93ZTPJ52yrs2Y
Kind of. It just depends on their financial situation.
@93ZP8QG2yrs2Y
No, but provide low to zero percent interest rates on student loans; expand loan forgiveness programs; and provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students.
@93XDJSR2yrs2Y
No, but allow free education at trade schools.
@5VW46HK2yrs2Y
Yes, but only once the cost of tuition is controlled.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but the percentage of tuition paid should be based on pre-determined income brackets. Trade schools should be included alongside public colleges and universities
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but make it a percentage of total tuition based on preset income brackets. Trade schools should be included alongside public colleges and universities
@5Z8DMCG2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for degrees that we need as a society like STEM.
@52K2TFY2yrs2Y
Yes, however more funding should come from the state
@93PTKFV2yrs2Y
Private universities should not be paid by the government but public colleges should be just like public schools.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but only for students from low and middle-income families who enroll in public four-year colleges and universities as well as trade schools
@924MYCK2yrs2Y
Yes, by lowering tuition costs for colleges and universities, and providing more scholarships for low and middle-income students, if they meet certain requirements. Education should be more accessible for everyone.
@93JPMGM2yrs2Y
It should be handled state by state.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but only for public four-year colleges and universities. Pay partial tuition for students from low and middle-income families who attend private learning institutions, and lower interest rates for student loans
@93GKF8Q2yrs2Y
The federal government should cover the costs of tuition for four-year public colleges and universities
@93G65QM2yrs2Y
Colleges should lower tuition by cutting salaries of administrators
@93CCRPH2yrs2Y
Yes, but only public and community colleges
@6TV8DH72yrs2Y
The government needs to audit the rising cost of college, regulate it, and then pay for tuition.
@938PWY62yrs2Y
Public colleges and universities only. Private universities can have their own debt-creation fun if they want, and students should realize what they're getting into.
@937LQYX2yrs2Y
Yes but also provide technical/educational opportunities for those that do not attend four-year colleges and universities and through a voucher system in an open competitive education market.
@92DLWJR2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for those attending public universities
@934JP2Z2yrs2Y
the federal government should pay for tuition at public colleges and universities
@92ZYZRW2yrs2Y
No but they should also put a limit on the cost of education so that they can't price gouge students.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, instead break up academic corporatism by penalizing price fixing, and incentivize colleges and universities to compete for lower tuition and higher accreditation.
@92YTHN62yrs2Y
Only if the student has been successful after they graduated college and held a job in their field for 5 years
@92XBN652yrs2Y
i think this is ok if the recipients family is not finically stable and can not pay for college there is no reason to pay for someone that has enough money to go get their education
