Should free education and medical care be an entitlement to all Americans?
Wouldn’t it be a better investment of our taxes if the government paid for free education for everyone for as high as they could go. More people who were held back only because of money could become doctors, scientists, leaders and educators. Everyone would be better educated and happier. The trickle down would be that professionals would start their careers free of student loans and therefore wouldn’t have to charge so much for their services. With more doctors, free medical services would be possible without all those long lines. Free medical service would mean better preventive measures and less ailments as we age – a considerable savings. What do you think of this and if you like it, how could we get it started?

I simply cannot believe the sheer quantity of drivel I am seeing here. I know you conservatives (from both major parties) seem to think that they have it so bad over in Europe… but once again I will remind you that most European countries allow their students to go to college for free. Guess what? Some of the greatest universities in the world have thrived under this system and it frees people from the peculiarly American practice of intentionally saddling people with mountains of debt right at the beginning of their careers. It does in fact allow service to be substantially cheaper and while most Europeans have to pay higher prices on your everyday consumer items they pay much less for the bigger stuff (except housing, for the most part).
To those of you living in the fairyland where nobody is incapable of paying for college: what sorts of hallucinogens are you on? I’d like some…
