[US Senator] Vance doubles down on praise for Viktor Orban’s crackdown on universities in Hungary

But if they’re not educating our children well, and they’re layering the next generation down in mountains of student debt, then they’re not meeting their end of the bargain,” he [Vance] continued. “I think it’s totally reasonable to say there needs to be a political solution to that problem.”

So, Vance, you’re saying that college tuition should be totally subsidized by tax dollars? Right?

He’d probably go for it if they tacked on a provision that required creationist indoctrination.

I’m going to say it’s already heavily subsidized by tax dollars. (aka student loans that are supposed to be forgiven at one point or another.)

easy access to student loans has only caused tuition to skyrocket. subsidizing tuition more directly is just going to do the same. What really needs to happen is to provide viable public education for 2 year and 4 year degrees.

And Vance can get the fuck out of the curriculum.

I’m pretty sure if you fully subsidize tuition, it won’t cause tuition to skyrocket more. At least not for the students.

Might as well create public 2 years that are free to everyone anyhow.
