At first you mention how higher education doesn't get you a good job anymore, but then you mention support for a candidate who will make college free. Don't you see the contradiction here? The reason college graduates have difficulty finding good jobs compared to the past is because so many people have a degree. Even if you forgive all of the student loans and make college free, people still won't find jobs based on college. College might not even get you anywhere because it'll become a default requirement for every job. There will be some other criteria used instead and somebody's probably going to make money off of that too.

There just aren't enough jobs that require the qualifications of English literature majors or similar.

Having educated unemployed people is bad yes, but its an infinite improvement on millions of educated unemployed people saddled with debt they will never in their life times be able to pay off.

That’s still better than the present, where college still doesn’t really get you anywhere, except in a mountain of debt.

But if that's truly the case then shouldn't people not go to college? If there aren't enough benefits then people should be able to realize that, no?

a Job isn't the only benefit of an education...an education is a benefit in and of itself. Society benefits from having an educated public. Society does not benefit from being in debt.

Your logic is as follows: if college degree doesn't get a job, then don't go to college.

Your logic breaks down because not going to college isn't going to get you a job either.
