What's up guys this is will wit with Prager you today?
We're in New York City at Washington Square Park talking to NYU students about free college. Let's do it
Do you think that college should be free for all yes
Yes, yeah
Yeah, I think it's a good idea. I think I think the government like has the budget to like fund it
I mean obviously and they also should be recognizing
the fact that people are getting raped and
Harvard and they're not even paying attention to it. Yeah. I mean, I'm French so coming from France
I think like, you know, it's been done already like four years
Do you think that if college were free and everyone can go it would make college less valuable
No, not really who would pay for it if it was free for all I
Think we should tax the wealthiest people in the country. I think you're seeing education
Yeah, like it would be taxpayer money. I mean to an extent called it should definitely be more
Giving but so should the government and they should stop spending so much money on military
I've always been for like cutting the military budget
I think it's like ridiculous if I want it to be like a trashman, you know, and I just graduated high school
I never went to college and then you're going to school
And you're getting a degree does nothing to do with me. Do you think it's fair that my tax dollars pay for your school?
Yes, is that fair
I mean, I don't really know
I think everyone deserves like higher education. Yeah
Confirmed garbage people should pay for my college. Okay. I want to get a Gender Studies degree
The garbage man owes me his labor to pay for my Gender Studies degree. Okay, I think it's ridiculous how expensive it is
There's like no reason why it should be tens of thousands of dollars. Do you know why schools are so expensive right now?
No, I don't give you a big reason the colleges have gotten involved with the federal government so that people are no longer getting loans
From banks from private banks. They're getting loans from the government. You know, you can't file bankruptcy on a student loan from the government
So if you can't file bankruptcy on a student loan
Then why would a school not continue to raise the price of the school if they knew that you couldn't file bankruptcy on it?
So they'll continue to bring their prices for the school up because they want to give people more opportunities
You know this trying to help people but really it's doing the opposite because it's making college way way way more expensive
I was just I was under the impression that banks like interests fees would be like a lot more than like
The federal like the FASFA loans and stuff
It used to be that way back in the day in the 70s 60s things like that
People would go to a bank
They'd get a cosigner with their parents and then get a loan if they had really good grades and that's how they would go to
School and school was like you go to school for like twenty five hundred
Dollars a year and the price for college once the government got involved has been way past inflation rates
Do you think that college should be free for all?
I don't think it should be what do you say that?
Well, basically, I think whenever you're providing a service someone is footing the bill, right?
And so I don't know necessarily that something like education at least. I think the privatized sector should not be subsidized
I think there's a lot of like expenses that we see with college that are unnecessary. So
Like the price is overblown, but it's also I don't believe everyone should go to college
I think there's this I guess stigma that like if you don't go to college, you're like wasting your life
We're like not living up to
But I think it should be more like an exception like exceptional people going to college instead of like everybody going that makes sense
Alright guys, we just finished up here and pretty much all the NYU students think that college should be free
But we were able to educate some people on why school is so expensive and why College shouldn't be free
So we're able to change some minds today
Make sure that you follow me on social media
Praeger you on social media and share this video with your friends. See in the next one guys, please
I feel like honestly, I've taught myself more than schools have taught me. It's all right
First of all, there's way too many Republicans and not enough Democrats. That means another way too many Democrats very little Republicans
That means the Republicans get more votes because there's more Democrats, you know, if like yeah
