Far be it from me to diss two free years of college for every American student. And there are some decent reasons to support a recent proposal from a pair of UW-Madison faculty that would provide just that. The problem is that students could get their free rides only at public institutions, and only if the federal government agreed to start stiffing the private ones. That?s as much an ideological shot across the bow as a way to solve problems plaguing higher education.
