It’s Freeeee!
The promises of socialism certainly sound appealing. After all, given a choice between getting something for nothing or having to pay for it, who could possibly be against getting it for free — particularly if we need it and would not be able to afford it otherwise?
Consider the high cost of getting a college education in America today. Many cannot afford the cost, and many have accumulated huge amounts of student debt to pay for tuition, room and board, etc. Yet the nation’s public schools provide a free education for kindergartners through 12th graders. If public-school education can be free, why can’t college education also be free? And how about making vocational schools free as well for those who want to learn a trade? By making education free, would we not be investing in America’s future?
Then there’s the spiraling cost of healthcare. Without insurance, being seriously injured in an automobile accident could result in insurmountable medical bills. Shouldn’t the medical care be free for those who cannot afford to pay for it?
