Gov. Greg Abbott freezes college tuition in Texas through 2027

[@AFoulOdor]

I am all for a free education, but the hypocrisy is enormous. And why now? Tuition in Texas public universities has been increasing at a large rate for decades.

[@vvevv88]

Rigging the college educated demo for 2028.

[@matth5117]

Read into the PUF fund…..

[@FoxysFriends]

Public education should be free period!

[@Bill_Woo]

Don't be a Socialist. Take that talk to Comm. China, N. Korea or Cuba. But not in Texas. That kind of talk comes from Comm. California and Massachusetts - not Texas. That kind of talk belongs with anti-free market AOC and Bernie. Don't be ridiculous.

[@KO-cj9ci]

Lol! Nothing is free but we pay a lot of taxes to educate Texas children k-12. College is not part of that deal.

[@Bill_Woo]

Don't be a So Shall List. Take that talk to Calm Nest China, Korea or Cuba. But not in Texas. That kind of talk comes from Calm Nest California and Massachusetts - not Texas. That kind of talk belongs with anti-free market AOC and Bernie. What a preposterous notion.

[@Wuggieee]

By free you mean WE should pay so YOU don't have to. Typical liberal

[@akui88]

Nothing is free, it would be taxpayers who would take on the burden

[@jrizzledizzlefushizzle]

So he'll ask for a freeze for Trumps presidency but not Bidens interesting partisanship politics at its best

[@bingusbongus1656]

Because Biden just wanted to give out free money using tax dollars without everyone's representation.

[@jnlnsa]

Were you not listening to the story ?

[@JonovanWooldridge]

@@jnlnsanot at all they weren’t stuck on Biden Harris aka the frauds

[@clamstrips]

Thank you Governor Abott

[@Peace-nm6bx]

Thank you? Is thats how they are making America the greatest again with no education??? He has to be an ignorant to block education. Ignorants!!

[@spacesoup6797]

evil to the core

[@matth5117]

Come on Abbott, spread the PUF around to ALL state funded schools in Texas!

[@Cobras_Nation]

Not buying it

[@rockon8174]

Stupid! 2 years later college prices will skyrocket to make up for the loss of revenue for those 2 years!

[@vvevv88]

Translation: To all of you who can afford it(😉😉), enroll your loser kids now so we can slide them into the "college-educated" demo.. Greg is garbage.

[@JonovanWooldridge]

The system is garbage. Kids don’t want to to college anyhow. Don’t be jealous move like the migrants did

[@ivandoyle]

He'll let the electric companies and insurance companies (his donors) jack up prices all they want, but when it comes to universities, he's happy to force austerity on them. No surprises, here.

[@nancybbailey1975]

Public colleges receive State money, auto and home insurance doesn't therefore the Governor cannot control insurance companies.

[@ivandoyle]

@@nancybbailey1975 The state has entire agencies dedicated to regulated price increases by insurance companies and electric utilities. But they don't do that, because they're all Republicans who are wholly owned by the corporations they're supposed to regulate.

[@rrcmjp22]

Interesting democratic move!

[@ronviejo4994]

There should not be any "educational" loans. Maybe for 1 year at a time but no more. Many people have worked their way through university in the past working as waitress and waiters to mechanics etc. Now you have to be a hedge fund manager. When you earn something you will value it a lot more.

[@crimsonrose]

This is totally going to increase inequities. If you have no college, you are going to get a poorer job and therefore have less to save if you can save at all. UCs which are on the cheap side for four year colleges are 15k/year for tuition only not including room and board. Full time minimum wage jobs will get you 30k a year. In high COL places, rent will literally just be 15/k a year. How are they going to eat and buy toiletries? Also idk what jank college you went to but I went to a top 20 uni and we needed almost all of our time to study unless you had an easy major like Business.

[@ronviejo4994]

@@crimsonrose First, there is nothing wrong with "inequities" Mr. Socialist. Second, 2 year tech schools will provide a MUCH more useful education than any 4 yr degree. Ever had to call a plumber or an electrician? How about an A/C tech? Those guys are making more than 90% of degreed people right now and they provide useful skills. If you can't afford it, don't buy it

[@Wuggieee]

​@crimsonrose wrong on all counts. A blue collar jobs pays way more than any liberal arts degree. Colleges are now dumbing down centers

[@Bill_Woo]

Speaking not as a Rep. or Dem., not as a college grad or not, but simply a Texan who believes as Texans strongly do, that government has no right to interfere with free and peaceful Texans: Pffffft. How DARE someone - in God's free country of Texas - interfere with its people or its commerce? I don't CARE if the rates are too high or too low - NONE OF HIS OR GOVERNMENT'S BIZ.

[@LoriL010]

Well, when the State owns the colleges it is literally their business...

[@Bill_Woo]

@@LoriL010 Point taken, but they're still interfering with free markets and market pricing. By restricting revenues, they are creating an entitlement. Do that in California, but we don't like entitlements here.

[@Wuggieee]

Texas funds these liberal indoctrination centers. They can do what they want with them

[@nancybbailey1975]

​@@Bill_Woowho are you kidding, Newsom has broken California with Entitlements 😊

[@LoriL010]

@@Bill_Woo I'm a 7th generation Texan, so don't lecture me about what CA does. Thank you very much. Football coaches don't need to make tens of millions of dollars a year either so take any budget shortfall cuts from them if you're so worried about it.
