Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur talk about a proposal to charge Wall Street a financial transaction tax to pay for public college, the tax would allow students to attend public universities tuition free.

If we end up with waitresses who have advanced literary degrees that cost $40,000 this will be a total waste of money. Of if you grow millions of want to be musicians with $30,000 in guitar lessons etc.
If we convert those waitresses into PHD chemists or PHD geneticists thats a total different story.
The education would have to be focused on fields that actually make America Richer and also on students who actually will be able to do something with that knowledge.
Having every blue collar worker take 4-6 years out and then return to being blue collar workers would sacrifice literally 10% of their total working lives.
Unless you are changing their career direction this will be a massive mistake.
