If the government starts paying for college education it sould be limited to sciece degrees only in the fundamental catagories of science, mathmatatics, engineering, and applied mechanics. Im not going to belittle the role of arts in society. They are a necessary part of any culture. However, I dont feel $250,000/student in tuition is necessary for arts to thrive. If the government is going to spend my tax dollars on free education, it sure as hell better spend them in a way that puys us at the forefront of discovery and application of discovery.
