Taxpayer funded community college

Pros
all inclusive experience has undeniable value
resources like labs


Cons

So it seems time to trim the fat in brick and mortar education by reprioritizing, reallocating funds, and optimizing the remaining "must keep" processes. A new federal government push into guaranteeing federal taxpayer funded community colleges seems likely to undercut this evolution and to inevitably and dramatically raise costs (relative to what they would have fallen to without the intervention) and lower value.
