Odd your query, as the article illustrated the low cost of college the students currently desire prior to the Reagan governorship...

"Throughout most of the 20th century, many public colleges and universities were free, or nearly so. California’s landmark 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education, for example, was essentially a pledge to educate all residents of the state who wanted an education for free or for a nominal fee. But the plan was soon attacked by Gov. Ronald Reagan, who painted free public higher education as welfare for privileged twenty-somethings and began shifting costs to students when he took office in 1967."



"everyone knows it's not going to be 'free'."

Much as everyone know white is not a color... no doubt, you consistently apply that same admonishment to painters such as Monet who refer to it as such.
