Who's footin' the bill?

Society at large. How do we fund parks, roads, military? It would be the same. By free I mean free at the point of use, it would cost, but the cost would be born by society as a whole.

There are a lot of costs to society by not having college be much more affordable.

Do you mean the parks that shut down last year due to the government shutdown, the roads that are riddled with potholes and cracks, and the military that isn't even allowed to have fireworks on the 4th of July? Do you really want to put the government in charge of college tuition? We are over $19 trillion dollars in debt as a country, I think the government has provided enough reasons as to why we shouldn't give them any more money than we already have to. Plus raising taxes always makes people happy.

By free you mean why should I pay for my education when I can have the government force my neighbor to do it.

I don't agree with your analysis. Sure those problems did occur, but that is not a guarantee that it MUST happen. Given the right political office holders there is NO need to have the country be in that sort of situation with parks being closed and such.

It is very easy to run something into the ground, it does take hard work and dedication to make something like I propose work but it can be done. It would help to have higher-ups that are setting policy actually care about the programs they are running and not trying to run them into the ground, which has been the case off and on for many decades. But if other countries can do it, I think we can to in this country. And other countries are doing it.
