President Biden wants to mke community college tution free for all Americans. Many people are in favor and many are not. There are serveral states that will pay for community college tuition for all students and there are some states that will pay but only for those students who qualify. However, a four-year college education is different.
The current average college debt for a graduating student is about $37,000. Not having debt after graduation creates less stress for students. They don't have to work as many hours at a job and can concentrate on studying, which results in better grades and higher graduation rates. Students who could not afford to attend a college or university now can and there would be less drop-out rates. Not having debt after graduation allows students to have more spendimg money when they start working. This helps the economy grow.
On the other hand, nothing is free. The money has to come from somewhere. Having the government pay for tuition means higher taxes. Some students will not take a higher education seriously if they don''t have to pay for it themselves. It will also create problems at many colleges and universities because they don't have room for all the students. In addition it will create waitlists for classes. If there are too many people in the work force with college degrees, it will be harder for them to find jobs and most likely salaries will decrease.
I do not think the government should pay for everyone's four year college education. It will create more debt in the government. There are government programs and private scholarships that can help with tuition if you need help. Also, I think it is good for people to work for things they want.

I don't think that the government should pay for everyone's college education because that will make us go further into debt, but they should definently pay for certain peoples. If a person come from a low income family, they should have their college tuitions paid by the gov't.
I can see why low income families should be paid by the government.
College is a great way to get better education and other things so i think it should be paid by the goverment it helps people that cant afford it, and helps them in the long run. I would take free tuiton its somthing to put on the
I think helping make college less expensive would be a good way to get more students to attend,
I think the government should pay for everyones tuition. More people would be willing to if it was free, and then people could make more money. I would take free tuition if it was available. We should be like other countrys and have an otption between free and not.
i think the government should pay for college. it would help students after they graduate and would make there lives easer to live. not having to worry about your debt is a nevery nice thing. if it was availabe i would probably take it but i just depends.
I see your point that it would make college students less woried about debt.
I think the government should pay for all public colleges like it does with K-12 schools. This would help with poverty and businesses not having enough employees. I don't know if I will go with a public college because I prefer smaller classes, but this would incentivise me to go to one.
I think the government should pay for half of the college education. I would take a free education if it were a thing because education is expensive and I don't like to pay for it.
I think maybe that could be an option. Having the government pay for half of the tuition would cost less for the people who have to pay taxes.
