Free College. How About We Do This:

3. I don't know about that program.

However, I've always thought we should subsidize higher education for anyone who is willing to devote equal time to service where it is needed. We pay for your school, but you have to repay us by working in your field at a job that needs doing, wherever it is.

You don't have to work for free, either. We'll pay you the going entry-level rate for whatever the job is. But, you don't get to choose the location. We'll do that, based on need.

Frankly, it's a hard thing to argue against, I think. It would also make educational opportunities available to people who might not otherwise be able to get that education. That's a primary goal. It would also bring people to places where most people don't think about going. It would be good for those doing the service and for those who need those services.
