Free Education for All, its a human responsibility not a privilege!

Higher education is a key to economic advancement, and if all 18-24 year olds were in college, we would reduce the unemployment rate by 2 million people, and fewer people would be in need of governmental assistance. Since we all pay taxes for this human responsibility a Federal program to fund higher education would relieve states of having to fund these institutions, which would free up money for other needed services. We need a more educated workforce, but we also need more educated citizens. It is important to include that people with higher education degrees report a higher level of health and happiness. Societies with a high rate of degree attainment have lower crime rates and higher rates of positive social action. Statistics taken from: The Price of Civilization, Jeffrey Sachs

We need a more educated workforce, but we also need more educated citizens. It is important to include that people with higher education degrees report a higher d of health and happiness.
