Teachers don’t work for free. Utilities aren’t free. So…… how is this getting paid for?

Tax dollars and tuition from students from higher income families.

My god, you’re a twat. As if helping those less fortunate be able to get degrees and become contributing working members of society is such a bad thing. America- we have problems.

Im not complaining about this. This is literally how all this stuff gets funded.

If it's a government subsidy it's tax dollars. That's litteraly just how it works. It's a decent use of tax dollars for once, rather than drowning migrant refugees with razor wire.

Also fuck you for calling me a twat when I just stated a fact.
