I hear from candidates for President that their agenda will bring everyone a brighter tomorrow. In particular, they propose to make education free for all. I am happy to hear about the plan to make Americans well educated and therefore adaptive. But I do wonder where the money to support education will come from.  

We will need more schools and colleges all over the country. We will need qualified educators in our schools and colleges. We will need more diversified curricula. There will be special need for research in pedagogy suitable for first time college students from families. All these needs will require a bigger federal budget for education. But will the next congress allocate a big budget for education? I have noticed that our current Republican Congress pays more attention to the 1% than to the middle- and low-income population. I hope people will choose someone who can be the President for all, not just for the billionaires
