Wasn't at all suggesting we should make higher ed free. I made mention of the tax cuts because the Trump admin likes to talk about helping the economy but yet they've said/done nothing about student loans which are proving to be a massive impediment to economic growth.
I don't like the idea of the gov't choosing which degrees/majors are worth funding. We've derisked student loans to a point where lenders don't care about your income prospects. If we allowed students loans to be discharged through bankruptcy you would start to see a big shift in how loans are made. The reality is the entire structure of higher ed right now is a sham.
