"That's projection; we lost Va. cuz the progressives blocked the infrastructure bill until after the election was over. "Well yeah, cooler heads will realize that" Did you just say I have a cooler head? == "But it just goes back to what you said about the "human infrastructure" bill being "too bold." When I pointed out that was an obvious euphemism for "radical," you went full whataboutism" So you're denying that the Interstate System and the Moon project and Medicare were radical ideas that made America great? Whatever. Many of the proposals in the BBB were radical.... 50 years ago. One proposal was radical in 1868: 1868: The Organic Act creates the University of California as a “complete university,” merging the then-private College of California in Oakland and a new state land-grant institution. Section 14 of the Act read: “as soon as the income of the University shall permit, admission and tuition shall be free to all residents of the State.” 1960: The Master Plan for Higher Education in California maintains that tuition at University of California and state colleges should be free, but that fees are necessary to help cover non-instructional costs. “The two governing boards reaffirm the long established principle that state colleges and the University of California shall be free to all residents of the state.” 1966: Ronald Reagan assumed office of Governor of California and changed the course of the state’s higher education system. In his eight years, he cut state funding for college and universities and laid the foundation for a tuition-based system. According to a New York Times article from 1982, during his eight years as governor, “Reagan fought hard in the legislature to impose tuition at four-year colleges. He lost the battle to lobbyists for the university, … However, the Legislature agreed to increase student registration fees.” abc10.com
