May 19, 2021

Grades 1 through 12 education may have been adequate to the 20th century. But not anymore. With emerging technology and a global economy, at least a two year community college degree is essential for America’s common good. On this show Michelle Miller-Adams, senior researcher at the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research talks about her new book The Path to Free College: In Pursuit of Access, Equity, and Prosperity. She explains how free college is truly realistic now, and the importance of college debt relief which is dragging our economy down. Businesses and Republicans are actually buying in.
