11. That would only make the costs go higher if anything

You want to see tuition skyrocket even higher? Students and parents would no longer care what the costs are as it wouldn't be their problem. I can only imagine how high tuition would go if students could attend any college in the entire country at zero cost to them.

Pretty much giving the colleges a blank check courtesy of the taxpayers. The costs of "free" college are merely transferred from the attending students to future taxpayers.
