free tuition for everyone would cost about the same as 3-4 months of the iraq war did

personally i'd choose to educate the entire country over waging a war overseas but thats just me

The Iraq war cost $1.7T. The current student loan debt is $1.2T. There are 20 million students in the US right now, with an average tuition cost of $10,000 per year in tuition and fees for instate schools. This does not take into account room and board. That's an annual cost of $200,000,000,000. If you assume that the rate of tuition does not go up, and the number of students stays the same, and everyone attends instate public schools, and everyone graduates in 4 years, your cost is only around $1T every 5 years in addition to covering the initial student debt.

Would you care to revise your statement?

According to 2012 data from the Department of Education, America’s public colleges and universities collected $62.6 billion in tuition from students

is anyone saying that you should forgive all past student debt and cover room and board?

Pretty much everyone. Student loan debt is their primary concern.

As to your data, that is based on 4 year old information and does not include private school data, which typically have tuition rates 3x higher than their public brethren. Would you deny free college to people seeking to go to a private school?

but how would u account for disparages in privs? some kids just take out bigger loans to go to better schools so would there be a system? how would the schools fair? did you think this out thoroughly? whats the incentive for better teachers?
etc
 
i believe they use what's called money to buy produce

we could do that, and we could also restructure water rights so those "independent" and "rugged" farmers who "don't take handouts" pay market rate on the water they use.

agriculture uses 80% of california water but accounts for 2% of economic activity.

we aren't socialists here. yeah, we have to get food from somewhere but if farmers aren't giving me food for free I'm against giving them water for free or at deep discounts. against government handouts? great, let's start with subsidized water.
