I personally don’t believe that college should be free. Making it free would only serve to limit the value of the education while filling colleges with students that have no business/need there.

What is free trade? Many American’s have a broad and sometimes-false idea of what free trade actually is. Free trade “refers to the economic philosophy and practice of reducing barriers such as tariffs‚ taxes‚ subsidies and quotas so that raw materials‚ goods and services can move unhampered across national borders.” (68) Various options have arisen about whether or not free trade benefits developing counties or not.
