why does free education have to stop, once we graduate from high school?
See my #7 response.
And we paid all the way through doctorate as long as it was a public school.

One of our best investments was the GI Bill after WWII, that included free college education.
That Bill is considered one of the best investment ever, where each $1 spent.yielded $2.50.

I believe the Interstate highway system is considered the best.

Paying for college is one of our best investments.
