Illinois University announced they will offer a 4 years free tuition program. Here’s the highlight reasons it’s a terrible and unsustainable program.

1. Illinois Tax Payers Cannot Afford It

Like any public program or public institution, it’s not free and at the expense of everyone else. Illinois residents cannot afford to give free tuition programs.

The state is spending tens of billions more than they make. I don’t know whom was the fiscal jackass to think we can start handing out tuition, however, I hope you’re reading this.

If Illinois could afford it, then it will still be a losing argument because your spending is supported by threatening violence. If I don’t pay for your decisions, GIs with guns come and get me. That’s basically how US taxes work and mob rule works.

2. Illegal Immigrants Qualify

All students are welcome to apply to Illinois regardless of citizenship or residency status. [1]

While Illinois cannot afford free tuition already, illegal immigrants have more leverage to meet the financial requirement to qualify for the Commitment Program which is not fair nor commit to equal opportunity for legal Illinois residents.

3. University Doesn’t Make You Smarter

Assuming accumulating debt will create high income earning graduates is ignorant. It is however, a sale pitch academics use to empower you — with student debt of course.

4. Universities Already Reek of Discrimination Under “Equality”

Due to affirmative action policies, Corporations and Public Institutions could lose their government contracts or financial relationships if they don’t abide by subjective affirmative action standards. Government gives big tax paid contracts with these institutions so of course they will create gender and racial based initiatives. It’s been consider a taboo conspiracy for a decade, however, diversity by skin color is making Ted-Talks these days.

The Commitment Program’s discriminates students whom’s family makes an income over $61,000 and/ or family with assets over $50,000. Sorry home owners, your kids don’t have a chance even tho your property taxes keeps public institutions funded as well as their pensions that aren’t sustainable passed your life time.
