04/25/2008 | Who is to qualify, and what the qualifications would be? Universal college education will create a society of intellectuals and no workers or skilled laborers. Then we will have to legalize illegal immigration to work and produce what the intellectuals need. Bad idea.

04/04/2006 | This is a bad idea. A very bad idea. We'd be much better off fixing our secondary (high school) system, one of the most inegalitarian in the world. Americans are already the most over-credidentialed people on earth; the last thing we need are more over-qualified degree-holders who are angry and frustrated because they feel they can't get the high-paying, prestigious jobs their education entitles them to. See: France

12/19/2005 | Essentially, what exists in Germany. For all of you wishing to foot the bill for this one, be advised that the average German college student graduates in 7 years.
Of course, as one here has pointed out, some Germans have acquired more formal education than we Americans. They also have a tax system that puts Canada's to shame.

12/19/2005 | And in fact, the average German citizen is much more educated than the average American.

12/01/2005 | It works in smaller countries with far superior public education systems. . .America is simply too big for this to become a reality. . .our intellectual curiousity and talent has never been lower (more people go to college as freshmen but only a little more than half of them will wind up with a degree). . .it could only work if individual states take care of their finest home-grown talent. That would actually create a little competition and make kids work for the carrot of going to school instead of 'expecting' that the money will be there- which is far more conservative/pro-competitive capitalism than anything liberal. . .
