The Virtue of Free College

The Virtue of Free College
Some nations have free college, while some don’t. The USA offers state schools, which often cost much less than private schools, but education in America is still very expensive. There is a problem on the horizon with college education. It could cause the USA to become impossibly behind Europe. That problem is that college bachelor’s degrees aren’t very valuable. In fact, very few employers are interested in finding employees fresh out of college with only a bachelor’s degree. What this means is that fewer qualified students are going to be interested in footing the bill for college. Why pay so much for college, when it doesn’t pay to have a college degree? Because students don’t already have the advantage of free college education, this problem of worthless college educations could be a disaster for the USA’s rating among first world nations if nothing is changed.
The first problem people will usually think of when the idea of free college is mentioned is: Who is footing the bill? Maybe some people see free college as impinging on the freedom of the USA. These ideas that someone has to foot the bill for college are all contrived into the now outdated financial system of the USA. That is gold and silver currency and back up for currency is history. The only real purpose money serves now is in teaching management skills. Come on America, wake up! The currency itself is worthless. It’s imaginary value only, and that is the future of the USA. It is the road to progress. It is the road to getting beyond the limitations of money, and saying hello to sharing and socialist ethics.
College professors generally don’t make a lot of money. Though in some fields teaching is the only option that one has once they get their education, still in many fields educated individuals opt to be educators. There is an ethic that might be associated with this, and it’s also found among the researchers that are paid by the government. The ethic is; study, work hard, love what you do, and pray that you will have enough cash to cover the bills. Most researchers do what they do for the sake of doing it, itself. Money is not the object for many educated people even if it means being poor. There is a reason for this, and it is that as people become more intelligent socialism is also associable with that. The reason socialism and intelligence go hand in hand is that it takes intelligence to have empathy. Empathy is one reason why gay people are more likely to be accepted among more educated people. Empathy is the reason why those thumping Bibles with strong religious and judgmental ethics are kept out. So, there you have it, the formula for being socialist and intelligent also carries with it the idea of being a liberal. Massachusetts is no doubt one of the most intelligent states in the union, and I take it to our credit that we have the courage to elect a gay congressman, not because he is gay, but because he was the right man for the job.
So there you have it. Free college is a virtue. It is a liberal virtue. I have no problem as an anarchist touting it as a virtue because what could be more liberal than anarchy. Freedom starts with small or no government. Small government is not antithetical to the idea of free college for all. You see all you young liberals still wearing diapers, liberal and liberties go together. The problem is that the USA has a money addiction. The USA citizens don’t know how to barter in trade for goods. This is a practice that the citizens of any country should be fluent it. The citizens should not have to rely on money itself, as money by itself is worthless. So what if it is gold, silver, or just inked greenbacks? In an optimal world, the teachers would be fed because they are so valuable to society. In such a society, teacher is a lofty position, so valuable that one can earn a living for it without money. It’s not until the USA gets over its financial addiction to greenbacks and students seek education for the sake of education without money that the real teachers will no longer be humiliated for having no students outside college grounds.
