Is it good that the government provides money for college education?

If you read the artical on yahoo, it states that people who have a degree average 23,000 a year more then someone who just just has a high school diploma. In return, the government gets more in taxes because the person is making more $. If that's the case, then why do people complain about government providing money for college students for tuition?

By providing free money, universities have less impetus to cut costs. You get inflation in college costs. Just like you see in medicine with medicare.

The bottom line is the government needs to STOP HANDING OUT FREE STUFF!
