My point was that some people think that they will get free education and free this and free that. I think it is unrealistic to expect that everyone will drive a Mercedes and have a Master's Degree if Obama is elected. If all education is free--and I am not talking about a scholarship fund--someone has to pay for it. If the government pays for it, eventually instructor pay will go down, as will a lot of programs and the education system will suffer-in my opinion.
