Free college?! Sounds awesome, right? Well no. Here's the thing: it will never work in the U.S. as grand as Bernie Sanders may tout it as, it simply cannot happen due to numerous circumstances.
One proponent of free college was raising the minimum wage. So what's wrong with that? Well... massive inflation. A simple economics course teaches that as wages rise, so do other costs, and thus begins rapid inflation. Soon, your money will be better off being burned as fuel. Think about it: if everyone is paid more, then the input costs will rise on all levels, meaning the government might have to continue printing off more money, which only makes matters worse. Inflation is real, folks, look at Venezuela or post-WWII Germany.
In addition, those countries that seem to have all of those free colleges, namely the Scandinavian colleges, are completely different from us, For starters, the population of ... is like 10 million. Now to put that in perspective, New York City's population alone is around 12 million.
