Rather than piggybacking on what was most recently said, I'll start with the original question at hand. What would make my days and heart a lot happier would be free college for all who can pass the entrance exam for all citizens. No more minority grants to be sucked up by the institutions of higher learning. Just a decent education that doesn't depend on social, racial, geographic or other qualifiers to all citizens who can pass and more so free help to those who need their education to get beefed up a little to pass like math or English. A 12th grade education was a great leg up in the days of black and white TVs and Ozzie & Harriet but now days It's worth very little.
