Senator Manning wants to pay for your kids’ college

On his way to stumbling toward a yes vote on PERS reform -- you remember SB 1049 -- State Senator James Manning, Jr. couldn't help but remind everyone that he favors fully free pre-K through college education for every Oregon Student. Never mind that he had to take a tough yes vote to pay for the over-bloated public employee pension plan. It was a good opportunity for him to remind everyone that he favors new massive spending.


While most people support free K-12 education, somebody needs to explain to Senator Manning that free college is one of the most regressive uses of public money. The idea that everyone -- including those who do not go to college -- should subsidize the education and the enhanced ability to earn money, of those who do go to college, should offend everyone.

If Manning really wants free college, he might want to look into a pay-it-forward program -- already passed in Oregon as a way for students to get a free college education.
