Democratic Views:
- The democratic party wants to make college and vocational schools affordable for everyone to give them all access to quality education. This would help many people want to try harder to get into a college especially if they are lower in price and more affordable for the people. The democrats did do something similar to this by enacting the GI Bill, which allowed veterans of World War II to get an education after their service, because of the GI Bill it helped create the modern middle class because it added more opportunities for the veterans to continue on their lives with a future.
Republican Views:
- The Republican Party wants to make higher education available to all but with the students paying for it out of their pocket.
