Making college education free is what I was thinking. We already funded public education, what one more for college/universities? Our country is mostly operated on high skill workforce, so why not make it a policy in this country?
We should, at minimum, undo the cuts to college that happened in the great recession. I'll be over here holding my breath.
This feeds into so many other systems as well, part of why medicine is so expensive is because of how expensive it is to become a doctor, both in sheer cost and in the barrier to entry for those less wealthy. Ditto for architects designing housing, city planners, economists, etc.
I go to a private practice doc because the mega hospitals have a 6 month wait for my needs. It costs $170 for a med check every 3 months. My doctor owns an aeroplane.
