On: I Owe It All to Community College

[rhc2104]

I would like to point out that under the BCC program you mentioned, the donor was paying in-state tuition for students, so most of the funding still came from taxes.

While in-state tuition is $1152/semester, out-of-state tuition $4224/semester, or quadruple.

So if community colleges are not paid for by taxes, benefactors would have to pay quadruple.

And I'm guessing you would want K-12 schools to be free too, so if those have to be funded by philanthropists too, then the bill would skyrocket.

It's definitely not an easy problem to solve, I'll say that.
