I, for one, should choose. I am paying for it after all. That was one of the most hated things about going to college. I was there for engineering. I'm sorry, contrary to what many of you will tell me, I do not need nor want art, humanities, physical education, foreign languages, and all the other courses that couldn't stand on their own without forced attendance. I wanted to build robots so I didn't give two fucks about Chaucer, sorry.
Our educational system does have issues but I don't like your plan at all for this one reason:
You are a commodity, and you have to invest in and sell yourself, and take all risks and costs thereof. Taxpayer funding would just spread the costs to all, without reducing the risk.
Why is it ok for corporations to offload all of their externalities and risks on to us citizens and then they get to pocket all of the profits yet when students do it, it's the evil and must be fixed? Also, you want to emulate the H1B visa model for all students, at least that's how it sounds to me. Everyone here on/. knows exactly how well that works out when one is enslaved to their company. I don't like this plan at all.
From the apparent popularity of places like Orange Julius, I do believe that adults, are indeed, selling lemonade on the corner. You can't obscure your apparent hatred for the poor not matter how fancy your rhetoric is.
Oh the hypocrisy! Two threads up you were trotting out the whole "In what sense, exactly, is killing the crew one time in sixty 'extremely safe'?" bullshit, but it's ok to give a pass to airplanes? Now I know you aren't actually here to talk about anything. You're just here to argue with any side, either side, and both sides. You enjoy the sound your keyboard makes when you pound on it. Nothing more, nothing less.
You keep repeating this stupid one-liner. You can't find any other thing to gripe about? Look, how many cars kill people every year? They're considered extremely safe too yet I bet you drove one in to work this morning didn't ya?
Socrates speaks like the Sicilian from Princess Bride. You knew I'd respond this way so I can clearly not choose the reply you expect! But then you'd know I'd know that so I must choose the reply you expect!
By my laymen's education on the subject, I do believe it means they double and triple tax the shit out of you while providing fewer services than non-commonwealth states.
Thanks for letting us know, Captain Obvious! I almost ran out and bought a copy of each because I thought I was missing out on what everyone else was using!

Personally I'm upset that I don't own a Google Glass nor anyone who does. YMMV :D
Signs, signs, everywhere are signs blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind. Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Are we arguing or debating? I wish people would use the correct words, lol.
I pissed myself reading this! Luckily I was sitting in the theater reading Slashdot so I didn't ruin my own chair *golfclap*
So smart ass, what is the modern costs of in-state school tuition? Help an old fucker out.

You mean like only letting those who can pay for it, like the rich, to go and to hell with the rest? You see no problem with this?

These are not the SIMPletons you're looking for, move along.
I am pretty sure the first place you should search for DUMPs would be around Uranus. I'm not an astrophysicist though!

OH SNAP!
As he said, circumstances change people, LOL!
And watches porn! Don't forget its most important function!

There's obviously madness in your method.
Isn't a zoo really just a theme park?

I'm guessing it's a lot like chicken!
Your father didn't. He smelt of them all the time!
To be fair, I do believe the Star Wars fanatics got The Force recognized as a real religion so policy pushing may not be as absurd as you think.

Because it's a GUI. If I wanted to learn shortcut keys and type out words I'd use VI or Emacs.
