Andrew’s generally claims that bring change in education system is not really easy as Mr. Bernie Sanders thinks. Sanders has truly great idea to free college and universities fees.

“Here’s what Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Want You to Know about College Costs.” His explanation as to why free college tuition is not a viable solution for the United States is clear and to the point. The author starts by explaining why college is so expensive and then goes on to debunk the free college solution.

“Feel the Bern” – an inspirational slogan that resonates as the presidential race approaches its zenith, and as the rhetorical Bernie sanders, the crafty Hilary Clinton, and the booming Donald Trump lay their values, visions, and views on the table, they pray that they will win over the American people. One of those views, held prominently by Mr. Sanders, lies in the proposition of eradicating college tuition. Published in The Washington Post, “Make College Free for All” outlines the position of Sanders: “Education is essential for personal and national well-being…hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college while millions more leave school deeply in debt. It is time to build on the progressive movement of the past and make public colleges and universities tuition-free in the United States — a development that will be the driver of a new era of American prosperity…we will have a stronger economy and a stronger democracy when all young people with the ambition and the talent can reach their full potential, regardless of their circumstances at birth.” Individuals in the U.S., in light of the outrageous amount of resources available, ought to fund their own education. America would undoubtedly “feel the Bern” if Mr. Sanders’ socialistic views reach execution, given that once a government funds anything, it ultimately controls it.

In “The Argument for Tuition-Free College,” Keith Ellison addresses the matter of free-tuition for colleges and universities in America. The high cost of tuition increasing inequality and the largest personal debt in the country, student loans, are the main two problems Ellison discussed. Claiming that minorities are less likely to succeed in the community is one of Ellison’s ways to support the issue. He promotes his argument with two solutions. In the first one he explains how to eliminate student loan debt. Ellison uses free primary and secondary schooling as an example to explain his second solution.

Student loans that help pay for college can average out to be about $33,000. As a young graduate, this excessive amount of debt can leave you stagnant and enslaved to your debtor even over the age of 60. To avoid this Maggie McGrath, a staff writer for Forbes disagrees. In the article, "Money Isn't Everything: When It's Worth Taking On $50,000 Or More In Student Debt,” the general rule of thumb dictates that you shouldn’t borrow more in loans for your undergraduate degree than what you expect to make your first year out of (para

In my opinion, on the first 2016 Presidential Debate, Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton did have a fair debate about topics of the host’s, Lester Holt, choice. Hillary Clinton did, in fact, win. I think this for many reason but some in particular stand out to me.

In the recent debate regarding the implementation of free college tuition across the United States, Jon Wiener, a Los Angeles journalist for The Nation, and Kelly Field, chief Washington reporter for The Chronicle of Higher Education who covers different federal education policies, discuss why college tuition should be abolished in the United States of America and the role of both Democratic and Republican parties on the debate. In the article, “It’s Time to End Tuition at Public Universities - and Abolish Student Debt,” published by the Nation in March 2015, Jon Wiener annotates the crippling debt that college

While student debt has been an issue for quite some time, the steady increase annually is alarming. According to MarketWatch, The average amount of debt per student upon graduating in 2015 was $35,051; about $2,000 more than class of 2014 graduates. In comparison, the amount of debt per student in 1993 stood just under $10,000. In a report by the Urban Institute, a Washington, DC-based think tank that carries out economic and social policy research, the quantity of college graduates with more than $40,000 in student loans has increased by almost ten times in eight years. Not only is the amount of debt per student upon graduating steadily increasing, but also the amount of students requiring loans. Currently, the amount of students requiring loans to graduate stands around seventy percent; ten percent higher than class of 1997 graduates. These are

The amount of money being borrowed is overwhelming, especially since the cumulative total of debt is huge, nearing a trillion dollars, much bigger than credit card debt. However, a typical college graduate who borrowed money to continue attending the college owes at least $25,000 dollars when student debt is not so big for individuals as compared to credit card debt.

Americans are in more debt due to student loans than due to other loans like credit cards. According to the new studies, the average student graduates with about 24,000-28000 dollars’ worth of student loan debt. The following are reasons reason why the college is expensive.

Over the last decade student loan debt has risen substantially and is now one of the largest form of personal debt in America, totaling about one trillion dollars, with 71 percent of students who earn a bachelors degree graduating with debt, with the average amount of debt being $29,400.

College students graduate with an average student loan debt of approximately $37000. Of course, that's not the whole story. Millions of college graduates have student loan debts ranging from $50,000 to over $200,000.

As many young millennials rally behind Bernie Sanders and his outlandish claims of free public college for all, others sigh and shake their heads in disapproval. Are these college students really entitled to free higher education? Is it every American’s unalienable right to have a college education? Despite the recent push for free college in the United States, the economic burden and drop in personal responsibility it would create proves that colleges should maintain their current tuitions.

Speaking of college, do you remember our arguments about free college tuition? I remember it started during the primaries last year, when we were discussing your favorite candidate, Bernie Sanders. We were talking about his proposed policies. As I recall you were in favor of governments using taxes to make public college tuition free. You argued that, today, a college degree is considered a necessity in the job market, most major jobs require you to have at least a bachelors degree, and everyone ought to have the opportunity to have access to higher education and get a proper shot at getting a decent job regardless of how much money they or their family make. According to you, even when people are able to afford college, they often have to take out massive amounts of loans

Our society needs college educate and thus innovative individuals to continue to build our great country. Rising tuition rates is placing this dream out of reach for many. How do we pay for this? Senator Sanders suggests that the rich should pay their fair of taxes and we should make cuts to the military. While I realize taxes will need to be increased to provide free college education, I would like to see the wealthy pay their fair share. I do not think it’s wise to make cuts in our military with the current terror threats. Perhaps we could study other countries that provide free college education and learn from
