The value of your degree will only go down if people actually go through with it. Paid or not if someone wants it they'll strive for it.

agreed, but there are ways to bs your way through college

So what you're saying is you don't want people to get higher education because you're selfish. Yeah, that's a real good reason you got there.

yes, that's exactly what i'm saying.
if people who have no business going to college start going and getting degrees it lowers the value of mine.

You clearly don't understand in the least bit. That $200 investment could turn into a million, or it might not. $2 out of each paycheck isn't even bad, you're acting like you can buy a family a brand new house with that money.

Lets say I bought a ticket once a week for ten years with the 6% sales tax.
48 weeks in a year, times that by 10 for 480. In 10 years you can have 480 tries for $1017.6
It would take 10 years worth of weekly tickets to actually help. Why not just shoot for the million or the jackpot?

you haven't changed one bit

this is old news but this is honestly just how it works in many cases

states have to provide matching funds if they want to participate in the programs. the federal government doesn't directly control things that are out of its power, it uses its spending powers to give the states money for programs like this. because the states are running the programs, it makes sense that they would have to account a fraction of the bill. this is how many federal programs work. some mandates even tell the states to somehow get all of the funds needed for a program

i know how it works. my point is that for a lot of states it just isn't possible without a lot of changes.

How is it detrimental?

it's simple, the more people going to college, the less value my degree has.
of course, one solution would be that colleges could lower their acceptance rates and have higher requirements.

He hasn't said the solution to everything is just "tax the rich tax the rich etc etc", he's not claiming to be the solution to all the worlds problems and ailments. He's said it can help get things started in the right direction by making sure that everyone is paying their fair share, which as of now is not happening, and then using that money to fund things that will help the middle class. He's not insane, he's going to have it budgeted so it's not going to go overboard. He wouldn't raise taxes on the middle class so he could make programs to help the middle class, that makes no sense at all.

Unless you have hard evidence that raising taxes on the rich will somehow magically raise taxes on the middle class, I really don't see your point.

i dont think anyone disagrees with bernie when he talks about closing loopholes and raising the taxes on the rich (we'll see if that works)
where it falls apart is his proposals for healthcare and for college tuition. his plan (the little that he's released) has massive holes in it.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/01/12/the-big-mystery-around-bernie-sanders-plan-to-reduce-income-inequality/
the simple fact of the matter is that for his proposals to actually work, he's going to have to raise taxes on the middle class, now Bernie's a smart man, he knows this, but he's not going to tell you that while he's campaigning. there's way too many holes in his economic approach and people need to realize that.

You do realize that with sanders you'll be taxed LESS right, that's like one of the most major points he parades around is that he's going to lower tax on the middle class and raise it on large corporations and the extremely wealthy.

And that's not his only course of action either, I suggest you actually take a look at what he wants to do.

no i think you need to take a look. the simple solution to everything in the world isn't "uhh tax the rich" (which isn't always rich people anyways). for all that sanders is proposing he's going to have to raise the taxes on the middle class, that's straight up inevitable.

Except his approach isn't "let's raise taxes", it's "let's actually fix education it's accessibility and here's how". Like I said, you can't gain something from nothing. A lackadaisical approach to actual issues facing the whole of the country will effect you.

his free college tuition plan is lazy and dumb as stuff. the way he has set it up is that 1/3 of it will be up to the states to figure out. that's straight up not happening in a lot of states, especially in the South. he claims to be fighting for the middle class but will raise our taxes. not to mention more people in college/getting a degree is detrimental to me.
he promises the world so he's a popular candidate, but once you sit and realize that most of what he says isn't happening he's no better than clinton, maybe even worse from what i'm reading on his tax proposals

This is a problem. The fact that you don't care about the wellfare of a country is the reason we have problems with education and crime. You can't get something from nothing. I'd argue one of the reasons that gun crime is so gross here compared to ""socialist"" countries is that their education is a helluva lot better on a national scale than ours. If you have a country of stupid people, they'll do stupid stuff because they don't know better.

except the solution to these issues isn't as simple as just "throw more money at them and it will all go away"
just because you might feel like these things are important enough to give away your hard earned money doesn't mean that i do. fixing education isn't as simple as throwing money at it like sanders thinks, and the government has shown that even with this money many times they're unable to make much progress
