Simply put, the government wastes so much of the money it collects that
darn little will actually be spent on the staff.
There will be exceptions but simply look at how the government runs the
education K-12. Free community college will simply be the new K-16.


Do we really need to put people through 17 years of formal education? Even
13 years is too much for some people. What it seems a good many people
haven't realized is that after a point formal education holds a person
back.

This is true, there is the over qualification tag that can hold an over
educated person back. It would be better if the education after HS
focused on physical trade skills to those that are going to actually do
that for a living. Simply put, college is not for every body and if
every one is offered a free college education you are going to see
"sanitation engineers" riding on the back of the garbage truck
collecting your trash every week.
