These state programs have proven very       popular, and have been in place for decades. Bernie Sanders has       suggested all public colleges and universities should be free, as       taxypayers already pay for them. Should a president make it mandatory       for all colleges and universities to have free tuition? I think it       should remain a state issue, not federal. But that is my opinion.              Let's say you, or one of your kids, wants to go to college but       cannot afford to do so. Your state does not offer free college       tuition, but other states do. Moving to another state would solve       that problem, although one would still have to pay room and board -       which is what dormitories and cafeterias are for.              To get around the out of state tuition problem, all one would       have to do is become a resident of the state. Doing chores in       exchange for a place to stay should do it.              Which brings up an interesting question -              How long does it take to become a resident of a state?              Let's say you move to Louisiana (or Georgia). Then get a driver's       license with your new address as your residence. Does that make you       a resident of the state? Would that be enough to qualify for free       college tuition?              Kids have been doing that for years, in order to avoid having to       pay exorbitant out of state college tuition costs. Staying in a dorm       is much cheaper than renting an apartment. And a meal ticket to eat       at the cafeteria is a lot cheaper than buying groceries.              Come to to think of it, maybe we could find new homes for the       homeless by oh never mind those university professors would not       like that ...              --Lee              --        They say `Yes, Trump'! / We say `No, Trump!'       --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 700 1016 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/1 113       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 801/188 197 202 900/100 106 108 902/6 7 25 26 27 920/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 292/854 301/1 80/1 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
