So we're putting these students into a job market that doesn't have jobs for what they just wasted taxpayer money studying for four or five years.
You know, if we had a free market in college, we wouldn't have all the student debt and we'd have much lower tuition.
And only the only people that would go to college would be people who would actually benefit from the degree.
A lot of people would just get jobs right out of high school and maybe even not even go to high school.

And they're just going to lie that they're going to fix it.

Look, I think Trump voters really like Trump.
