Thread: Nothing the government gives us is free.

Opinion

USA TODAY's founder, Al Neuharth, appears to be a bit out of touch with reality as his advocacy of free college would indicate. If he is serious, then perhaps, for a starter, he could persuade those tenured professors to teach for free ("Should free college be part of education?," The Forum, Nov. 12).

READ OPINION: Should free college be part of education?

Nothing is free. To provide anything we either tax someone's earnings, or we borrow money from China and then tax our citizens to pay China back. What ever happened to working your way through college?

No, college should not be free. Neither should K-12. But we'll deal with that another time.
