I don't really have anything to ad. The meme says it all. Do you agree?

May seem like a good idea at first with our future being invested in us, may cause problems in the future. Unlike some other countries, we are able to choose what we want to do and pay for it as we desire. Some countries (North Korea), the government chooses your future for you, then invests in your education (training) for that field. I don't see us reaching that point anytime, but it is an example of the system going too far. While free education would be nice, I think most of us would rather have affordable education.

Mine wasn't free in the military, but, it was VERY cheap. But, then I could not party after duty hours. I went to school instead.

Sir, sorry if I may sound harsh but those wanting free college just can't see further than the top of their nose. Same for those advocating one should join the military to go to college for free. Not directly paying for something doesn't mean it's free.
What this country really needs to implement is "affordable" education.
I worked for my scholarship and I've come a long way to serve but I believe no one should have to put his life on the line for education.

You have and are working for what you want.
Now tell me, who do you think should pay for this "affordable" education?

Capt (Join to see) - This is where the problem is Sir, education in the United States has become a good only a few can afford without crawling under debts.
"Wanting" an education shouldn't be seen the same way as a kid that wants to buy the new XboX and willing to work for it.
If college tuition wouldn't be so high, maybe people will chose to make their education a priority and decide to invest for their future without risking their life.
If you live in a state with public colleges that offer financial assistance, you are already paying for it.
Herriot, a French politic said "culture is what is left when everything is forgotten". I couldn't agree more.
