ABC’s Scandal returns for its seventh and last season which means it has less than one year to dole out its crooked view of American politics to a public that couldn’t be sicker of the subject at this point. To kick off the fall, the series wastes no time in dusting off the old liberal talking points with the "right" to a free higher education.

In England, "free college" policies resulted in the wealthiest students receiving a disproportionate share of government

Proponents of “free college” would have you believe that getting rid of tuition fees is all it takes to create a high-quality, equitable, and accessible higher education system.
