    1. After all, America's future is at stake. And nearly everyone agrees that education is one of the biggest factors that will determine the nation's fate going forward.

      If we don't go to college and better the country we aren't going to be a leading country in the world and won't have as much control as we currently do.

    2. a lot of students simply choose not to pursue a higher education

      This is an issue. Everybody should be able to attend college and live the american dream.

    3. Proponents of free college believe that it would benefit the entire nation, not just the individual students who take advantage of it.

      I agree. If we can grow as a country it is not only going to be better for everyone but for yourself. Without a college degree in today's world it is hard to get a high paying consistent job.

    4. Plus, since more people would be able to attain employer-desired credentials, more people would be able to take the good-paying jobs that often go unfilled.

      This also leads to people having more money to spend which will help to stimulate the economy.

    6. After 20 to 25 years, whatever is left on their loans is written off, as long as they have consistently kept up with all of the payments that were due.

    1. Reasons for the gender wage gap are multi-faceted. IWPR’s research shows that, irrespective of the level of qualification, jobs predominantly done by women pay less on average than jobs predominantly done by men.

      If Women are doing a job primarily done by men and they are doing as good as a job as women then they should be paid the same.

    2. In 2015, female full-time, year-round workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 20 percent.

      If women are receiving the same education or a better education why should they be paid less? If a man and a women both hold the same position but the pay gap is at 20% a man working a job making $100000 would be compared to a women making $80000.

    3. Hispanic women will have to wait until 2248 and Black women will wait until 2124 for equal pay.

      Even tho white women are suffering from the pay gap those of color are having it even worse.
