I understand that. We’re all just doing the best we can with the situations we were born into.

That made me think of another couple questions:

Do you support universal, state-funded preschool?

Do you support universal (or subsidized) college/trade schools?

I’ve noticed that younger children are becoming smarter each year. Universal preschool would give them the chance to grow more intelligent at a younger age and, in my opinion, improve their transition to full day schooling that comes during Kindergarten and onward.

I’ve always wondered why public colleges cost tens of thousands to attend. Why does it cost so much to obtain a degree that is so crucial and beneficial to our economy and society? I would love universal college education but that’s a hard drive with conservatives. I would definitely start with free community college and trade schools. We need more electricians, welders, mechanics, and stem workers. Those are all departments that students would be able to obtain a degree in from a community college or tech school.
