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.

Great job Henry! This topic has been done before however.
I personally do not think that the government should pay for everybody's college education for multiple reasons. College is an option, and yes it is expensive you aren't forced to go. And there are other carreer options out there that don't require a college education. I would take the free tutition if it was available.
Although it is a great idea, i would say that the government should pay for it, but college has always been an option to increase your learning, and not everyone can go, but if the government would increase the already existing debt of 33 trillion+ dollars, although its a good idea it doesn't benefit us or the government.
I think the government should pay for everyone's college education. I think the government should pay for everyone's college education because it would make things easier for everyone except for the government and it would help a lot of people.
I think that the government should pay for community college because having a more educated workforce encourages better quality of work which means the country as a whole gets boosted. The population would be able to pay the higher taxes because they wouldn't have to deal with their student debt.
No, I dont think the government should pay for everyone's college tuition because it doesn't give the person going to college a drive to succeed because it is free for them. I would take free tuition but I don't think the government should pay for everyone to go to college.
I agree that having the government pay for college won't make people have the drive to succeed.
I don't think the government should do this they already have problems with their money if they start paying for tuituions they will be in even more debt which means higher taxes for us. I'd rather just pay for them ourselves so we don't give the government more to worry about.
I agree to everything you said, including the part about there being more taxes for us.
I think that it would be nice if the government payed our college education so everybody would have a chance to go, but it really is unlikely. If they did pay for our college education more people would have a higher education and would boost our country's economy. I would take free tuitions.
