"Plenty of rich idiots", eh? Nearly 90% of millionaires never inherited the money. Nearly all of them started from nothing. If you are smart, being rich does NOT require college. I know a man who's job isn't very high paying, but because he knows personal finance, he only has to work 3 or less days per week. He is saving up his 100 dollars a month, so when he is only 60, he will have over a million dollars.

Still, a technical college would be useless if everyone got a degree from one. Once again, getting rich is mostly discipline and not buying cars you can't afford with your stupid credit card. And the money for these colleges has to come from somewhere, and in a socialist state, the government would just bail out all of these colleges. And that money comes from you and me. Nothing is free, and the problem with socialism is it gives the state too much power as it makes people reliant on the state. It is also expensive, because your income is going to be going down more and more, making it harder for people at the bottom. And if you believe in student loans, it's going to make it all the more harder for you to pay that off.

I specifically said socialists didn't invent it. :-P

I didn't say all when I said plenty of rich idiots. There are just plenty that exist. What you said is proving my point; just because someone is at a disadvantage doesn't mean they aren't worth the higher job, a diploma just helps bosses see through the rose-colored glasses.

Once again: this would affect such colleges, only colleges that are already intended for people at a disadvantage, in which case this would be helping them achieve their mission. And as I've said several times already, it would come from increased taxes, but on people and corporations that have more to give. Student loans are already a limetime burden for most; this would help those people. If we cut down on military spending, if we take funding from corporations and people who can afford it and then some, then we would have more than enough. It isn't a perfect system, but it beats giving the rich more in the hope that they'll change their ways - which they won't.
