^^^THIS^^^----what's the old saying----go BIG or go what ?
If the state of Tennessee would use the revenues to assure that every student would have the option to attend a state funded 4 year university for free, I will be the first to vote for casino gambling. At least they would be attempting to break the chains of poverty. And I am not referring to some merit based scholarship. I’m talking ALL students.
Its is so easy to obtain a 4 year scholarship as it is now that there should be no additional incentive for them. If you cant get a 4 year free ride right now in TN, you dont need to be anywhere near a 4 year campus.
So all the reporting about people drowning in student loan debt is fake news?

No, it simply means they didnt want to put in the work to be able to go to 4 year college, or to stay in 4 year college, debt free.
And if they arent willing to put in the work to do that, they dont need to be wasting their time going to a 4 year college.

I have two entry level engineers in my work group who both have four year engineering degrees and over $80,000 in student debt. So you are saying I should inform them that because they have student loan debt, they wasted their time going to a four year college?
