Biden free college a reality?

[ss20ts]

I keep reading more and more about Biden free college plan and wonder how soon it will become a reality?

Will it be a good thing or not?

K12 public schools are already free, so why not higher education?

Some colleges are too expensive to the point of ridiculous.

Pre-K through 12th grade at public schools is free because of property taxes. This is handled on the state and local level. Look around at public schools. Many are severely underfunded. All public schools are far from equal as well. Where does the funding come from to make college free? Does it apply only to state schools or private schools? For profit schools? Both RA and NA? The fees? Room and board? Most communities don't have a college in their town or even nearby. Even if there is they may not have your major and you may not be be accepted. Many colleges are very competitive when it comes to acceptance. 

Don't get me wrong. It is an idea worth studying. Whether or not it can become a reality is something entirely different. Biden is set to be in the White House for 4 years. Sure, he could be reelected. Many studies that this needs take longer than 4 years. There's nothing to say the next president could end the study and put the brakes on this whole idea. I wouldn't get excited about these ideas until they're in effect. I know several people expecting the student loan thing to go through any day now. Not sure why they think it's a done deal and happening at any moment.
