Here's what one of history's most eminent and renowned economists, Milton Friedman, said about "Free Stuff" from governments .... "I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. And that’s government." Unfortunately Socialists just cannot get their heads around the FACT that there's NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH !! .................... Somebody's PAYING, and when a government is spending it's the TAXPAYER. So when ill-informed, and often immature, students start agitating for "Free Education" they are expecting A LARGE COLLECTION OF OTHER PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THEIR EDUCATION.
