Why do we need someone in power to advocate it. Why don't we advocate it to each other? Parents are the ones mostly influencing kids to go, or at least that was my experience.
But I don't see this being a big part of current public discussion on education. So I doubt the idea would really get any traction without e.g. a candidate in a presidential election pushing for it.
Similar to Yang and Basic Income. Even though that idea is more far fetched/challenging to implement, he was able to give it a lot of public mindshare. I believe if somebody did the same for streamlining college education to make it more economical to students it would be a broadly popular position. That lights the match for the grassroots movement to kick off and grow.
