I think you misunderstand the use of 'free'.
In the USA, free can be used to mean free to the consumer, but paid by someone else.
The US has uncontrolled education costs, a surplus of irrelevant college degrees, and many object to taxes to pay for others.
For example, If someone can't afford to buy a house and support a family, in part due to taxes, they understandably wouldn't want to pay more taxes to so that someone else can enjoy some fanciful degree.
There is an abundance of very good low cost colleges, but many advocate that elite colleges with marble walls that cost 1-200k+ should be payed for with public funds
