Free University for All is a Great Equalizer [View all]

Tonight Hillary Clinton said: “I disagree with free college for everybody. . . . I don’t think taxpayers should be paying to send Donald Trump’s kids to go to college.”

Yes, they should.

We could be so fortunate to have a small fraction of our taxes pay for our kids and Mr. Trump's to attend University together. Mr. Trump's small fraction would put several hundred or thousand kids through school for every one you and I paid for. His contribution would grow with each loophole we can close.

This would get us a good way down the road to a true meritocracy.

Hillary's plan sounds like one of those complicated plans typical of our government that would require a lot of overpaid administrators and allow insiders and their friends or clients to game the system for power and personal profit.
